The noisy wild creature that wreaks endless havoc in the US is not even enough to eat when it enters our country, so it is farmed in large quantities

It is only in recent years that this has been widely talked about: Chinese people are just too good at eating! Indeed, Chinese people's feats in the world of foodies are simply unmatched. Take the crayfish, originally an invasive species, which went from overrunning everything to being farmed artificially and still being in short supply. A while ago the hashtag #Denmark calls you to eat oysters# flooded the internet, once again putting the Chinese foodie trait on the world stage. Besides oysters and crayfish, there is another species that Chinese people have set their sights on, going from being ignored by foreigners and unloved by Chinese people to becoming the darling of foodies in one leap. That is - the bullfrog.

The bullfrog gets its name because its croak is too loud, like the bellow of a cow, hence "bullfrog." In summer, that call is really quite "noisy." Because it originates from North America, it is also called the "American water frog" and is the largest existing species of frog, with abundant and delicate meat, widely loved by foodies.

Moreover, the bullfrog can be said to have almost no natural enemies, causing endless harm, and it has strong survival ability and strong reproductive ability. Once introduced, it very easily causes severe damage to the local ecological environment. In rural areas, once they set foot there, they will occupy the local frog world in a fairly short time, and in summer they will sing until dawn, making farmers more annoyed than words can say, because given their appearance, no one locally would ever eat them.

But this leisurely life of dominance did not last long. The bullfrog soon entered the radar sweep range of Chinese foodies, and for quite a while the bullfrog became a trend in the culinary world. Precisely because of this, they went from overrunning everything to being farmed artificially. The power of foodies truly should not be underestimated.

And in North America, Canada and other places across the ocean, the bullfrog is still unbridled, and the government has had to issue an order to exterminate them. This news prompted Chinese foodies to petition one after another, with the momentum of "send them to China and I will eat them to extinction." But the reality is that once all kinds of costs are added, the bullfrog's price immediately becomes very high, leaving people unable to enjoy it.

So why do foreigners not eat them? Americans think the bullfrog is terrifying, that there is nothing it will not eat, including its own "frog brothers," and the parasites inside and outside its body are evident for all to see. In addition, foreign dietary habits are very different from ours. They focus on freshness and like the original flavor of food. Chinese cooking methods habitually use high-temperature cooking for all kinds of food. This method has many benefits and can kill a large amount of bacteria. This is why Chinese people can eat them and not get sick from eating them.

In the late 1950s, China introduced the bullfrog for the first time. Because of its growth characteristics, it has now become one of China's very important aquaculture species, with enormous economic benefits. The bullfrog's reputation is growing, and it has entered the tables of restaurants everywhere. Surely this grand scene will continue for a very long time among Chinese foodies. In the vast and mighty chapters of China's 5,000-year history, the foodie trait is absolutely genetically inherited. Chinese people love to eat, can eat, and know how to eat.

Finally, the author asks one question: friends, have you ever eaten bullfrog? You are welcome to leave a comment and share!
