有人说:“到湖南不食臭豆腐会遗憾,不吃辣椒田螺要后悔”。田螺肉确实鲜美可口,连吃惯了山珍海昧的慈禧太后,有一次因嘴馋吃田螺肉过多,而引起消化不良。难怪梁朝文人庾信吟出了“香螺酌美酒”的佳句。田螺,栖息于湖泊、池塘、水田和缓流小溪中。楚湘之地,八百里洞庭,四千万亩水田,溪流纵横交错,池塘星罗棋布,为田螺的生长繁殖提供了得天独厚的条件。湖南的螺类品种多达24种,1979年就出口田螺487吨,田螺肉61.8吨。 Someone said: “It would be a shame not to eat stinky tofu in Hunan, but to regret not eating it.” Snail meat is really tasty and delicious, even used to Shanzhenhai ignorant Cixi Queen Mother, once due to greedy eat snail meat too much, and cause indigestion. It is no wonder that the Liang Dynasty literati crept out of the “sweet conch wine” statement. Snail, habitat in lakes, ponds, paddy fields and slow stream in. Chu Xiang, eight hundred miles Dongting, 40 million mu of paddy fields, streams criss-cross, ponds dotted, for the snail’s growth and reproduction provides a unique condition. As many as 24 species of snails in Hunan were exported, 487 tons of which were exported in 1979, and 61.8 tons of snail meat.
