Both me and the West like it There is no specific statistic from the authorities or the local authorities of the western provinces that each year, from the resources … the hamster, how much money people make. In fact, passing through many western provinces and cities, especially areas with large areas of rice, sugarcane, pineapple (fragrant), cajuput, … large like Can Tho, An Giang, Kien Giang, Dong Thap. , Hau Giang, Long An, wherever we go, we also see the shop’s label selling “specialty” processed from hamsters. And, in daily life, the dish is processed from hamsters (Ben Tre, Tra Vinh also has coconut mouse, hamster), for a long time it has been a familiar dish in the meal, even at home. There were parties, guests, this specialty was brought to the top of the party. Grilled hamster is a favorite dish not only for us but also for Western guests. Photo: ĐSA. Not long ago, I returned to the Red Flag (Can Tho) and met Mr. Huynh Van Hoang (known as Hoang “the army”). His house is next to the People’s Committee of Co Do town. Unlike a few times before, with his forte dish he cooked the best (salt-fried lemongrass mouse), this time, he treated me to … dried rat. Seeing the rats that had been cleaned, seasoned, and dried for 2-3 consecutive days by him, we found it intriguing. When he put it on the hot charcoal stove, and then the scent of the rat’s flesh spread across the neighborhood, we just looked quickly until we were seated at the table. The landlord directly chops the raw mango, picks the herb leaves, then rips the mouse meat by himself, … In fact, for many people in the West, hamsters can be processed into many delicious dishes that cannot compare to anything else. When we returned to the Hong Ngu border area (Dong Thap) in the fourth lunar month, we learned that it was the time of the most delicious rat meat. Local people explain that due to the preparation for the rainy season, the weather is warm, fresh, the plants are green and sprouted many young shoots … Enjoy the “lucky” so the hamsters are fat this season, freshly baked, the fat flows down the sizzling coal, fragrant. At that time, we also went to the back of the water gantry, directly participating in the rat-making process. Unlike dry food, freshly baked rats do not need to be seasoned with any spices other than a little garlic and a little fish sauce. The rats were clamped on fresh bamboo branches, split in half and then put on a charcoal fire. We have eaten many times of the grilled coconut mouse and hamster, but that time, we still had to blurt out because of the sweet and fragrant taste in each mouse meat … The special thing is when I asked the dipping sauce for this rustic delicacy, the owner, a farmer over 80 years old, ran to the back of the kitchen, and later brought up a plate of pure copper fish sauce. As I ate, the host couple enthusiastically showed me how to prepare a variety of delicious dishes from hamsters, which are store of laksa leaves, boiled wort (with wine), boiled batch, sautéed leaves, stir-fried onions, stir-fried vegetables. , beware of coconut water, roast, roast, roast satay and steamed rice dishes … When I got back to Cao Lanh city, my colleague also let me enjoy the “pearl pearl” (part of the genitals of male mice) sautéed the palanquin and said that it belonged to “he ate, she praised”. Because it can be processed into so many delicious dishes, for a long time, people have … “honored” rat meat with squirrel meat. Many people call this fun “squirrel copper” also because of that. In Phung Hiep (Hau Giang) and Thanh Hoa (Long An), every day, tons of hamsters are loaded into trucks and transported to Ho Chi Minh City. There is a very special thing is that Western guests also love rat meat. Many times I endlessly witness “foreign visitors” tearing roasted hamsters, eating deliciously is like tearing grilled chicken. An Giang Provincial People’s Committee leader said, when he came to An Giang for a survey early last year, Mr. Jan Zahradil, Vice Chairman of the European Parliament’s International Trade Commission (INTA), Chairman of the Friendship Parliamentary Group European Institutes (EP) and Vietnam, surprised him and many of the members of the delegation with the grace of having lunch with a meat dish “squirrel”. Proposal was met immediately. That day, in addition to specialties such as sesame fish sauce, cotton fish cooked sour soup – braised fish, deep fried fish, … the table also added 3 dishes from the hamster, which is a dish. Rats roast, fresh grilled mice and sauteed rats. And that day, this Western guest was only eating mouse dishes. He said many times to Vietnam, eating many delicious dishes but did not have the conditions to enjoy the hamster dish. Many of his friends, including the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly XIII Nguyen Van Giau said “if you go to the West, you must try once to tell”. Finished dinner that day, Mr. Jan Zahradil kept whining and said “very gossipy”. The plan achieves two goals Returning to the story of spending billions of money to fight mice, after the press reports, the leaders of the People’s Committee of Can Tho city explained that it was a story related to the implementation of a directive of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agricultural Development. village. Based on the fact, Can Tho develops a plan to prevent and control plant infestation for the period 2021-2025. Specifically, in terms of rice crops from 2016 to 2020, 19,415 hectares of rice were damaged by rats. Can Tho’s plan is … if rats damage 5% of the production area, in the next 5 years, the total amount expected to be spent to support the people in coping with the epidemic is over 29.6 billion VND. And if the actual damage is like that, the proposed capital of the local budget is more than 22.5 billion dong, the remaining 7 billion dong, people “bear”. Traders come to Thanh Hoa district, Long An province, weigh the mouse to load them into a truck and transport them to Ho Chi Minh City. With this money, Can Tho is expected to organize more than 1,500 training courses, support 112,500 traps for farmers to control rats and 5,625 kg of bio-drugs. “The reality will depend on the situation each year. If this year, the prevention of rats is good, the following year will surely reduce the damage of rats. The detailed cost estimate plan was appraised and submitted to the authority to arrange the implementation in accordance with the regulations, but Can Tho was not available nearly 30 billion VND for prevention and control, ”said Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People’s Committee Nguyen Ngoc Summer, the person signed to issue the above plan. To make the public understand more about this plan, the Can Tho Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection explained that unlike pests and diseases, it only causes a decrease in yield, but if it is destroyed by rats, rice is often bitten off the base. , almost complete damage. “If based on the scenario of 11,200 ha of rice severely damaged by 50% of the area and 50% of the yield by the rat, it is estimated that 5,600 ha of rice would be damaged. With this area, if the rice yield is 7 tons / ha, there will be 39,200 tons of rice. And a loss of 50% in yield would result in a loss of 19,600 tons of rice. Calculated at the average selling price of 6,000 VND / kg, the number of damage is over 117 billion VND ”, this officer gave a calculation and also said that the weather factor was very favorable for mice to reproduce. A pair of parental mice after a year can produce 2,064 (?). Concerned about the fight against “copper squirrel”, many people, including agricultural experts, have different opinions. Professor Vo Tong Xuan, Rector of South Can Tho University, said the plan to spend nearly 30 billion dong to kill rats is too much money. “Using biological drugs to kill rats is not sure that this drug is not toxic and does not affect the environment. When sprayed, bio-drugs follow the water line, especially in the rainy season, it will spread to many places. As for the mouse trap, the State subsidizes it, whether the people will preserve it well, ”said Professor Vo Tong Xuan. The above plan to kill rats is budget-consuming but not likely to bring about high results, while farmers have many initiatives and tools to kill rats and take responsibility for their own fields. “These things, let the farmers take care of them. Every farmer is responsible, the rat bites his field so that the State takes care ”, Professor Vo Tong Xuan said and cited in the past time, pests and diseases in rice, farmers also actively sprayed. . Regarding community mousetrap (also known as plant traps), Professor Vo Tong Xuan concurred with the involvement of government officials. However, this method is only done when rats have high densities, potentially causing much harm. Professor Vo Tong Xuan also described the community mousetrap model, that is, on a rice field, functional departments rent about 500m² of paddy fields in the middle of the field, lure rats in, then catch and sell. With this approach, a commune in the key rice growing area of ​​the West can make 2-3 community mouse traps. The proceeds from the sale of rats can compensate for the rent of the paddy field. Professor Vo Tong Xuan said that in Son Kien commune, Hon Dat district, Kien Giang province, there was a farmer who worked as a community mouse trap model and brought about economic efficiency. On the sidelines of a recent conference held in Can Tho, Mr. Le Van Thiet, Deputy Director of the Plant Protection Department – Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said that killing rats or any other object should use total measures. In addition, in addition to manual methods (using traps, baits), the most effective method is to trap community because this method can kill rats on an area of ​​up to 100 ha. According to Professor Vo Tong Xuan, in the first phase, the locality can experiment with the model of the Australian community mouse trap that has announced by the International Rice Research Institute. Since then, to see if luring mice into traps is effective or not, if seeing results, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should widely disseminate them.

This morning, after releasing her daughter in elementary school, I planned to go home and write a few lines. So incessantly thinking along the flow of the car going forward, suddenly I suddenly crave a pair of flipped duck eggs. Cravings, we have to eat. But in the morning like this, where to find a place to sell “flipped duck seeds” between Saigon. So we walked across the market, bought dozens of eggs, some lettuce, ginger root, some chili powder. Going home and preparing to prepare, it also took 30 minutes. In return, the breakfast is satisfied. Foreigners coming to Vietnam for the first time must be shocked to see duck eggs flipped. Listen, it’s rumored to be one of the top 10 horror dishes in the world. But there are foreign friends that I know, who have lived in Vietnam for a long time, it turns out that “Western water spinach” already likes to eat real upside down duck eggs. Get used to it, no longer afraid. At that time, only the pulp, fragrant (but not fishy), is very attractive. Even though it is strange, in the same country, from the same people, the way of eating eggs / seeds of a flipped duck is already different. The local people often eat eggs at night, especially when going out for a drink. The saying “Flipped quail eggs, rotted duck seeds, flipped duck seeds … fried tamarind … êiiiiii” is too familiar to many people, including those who do not like this dish. Familiar because it sounds every night, on every street side, with the image of a person pushing or kicking a van in front of it, with eggs, boiled corn of all colors. The extremely difficult thing to explain is why the flipped duck seed is considered a Korean, eating easily cold, but people in the region often eat it at night, sometimes while drinking beer. And outsiders are different. Duck eggs flipped it like breakfast, more snacks. And because it considers its taste to be solder, it should always be eaten with sliced ​​ginger, a little chili powder with salt and pepper and laksa leaves to lead the taste and smell. That way of eating, at the same mealtime, seems to really balance yin and yang. The other thing is that the locals in the region eat eggs, they put them on the small communal table, knock on the spoon to knock, open the egg shell, season with seasoning and then slice each small spoon. Salt and pepper squeezed lemon or kumquat (kumquat), add a little pureed chili and also come with laksa leaves. But definitely not eaten with ginger. Meanwhile, the North people break the eggs into a small, pretty bowl, the bad, bad, old ceramic bowl is a bit dull. Two different ways of eating, two different times of eating, and a lot of different seasoning. The most common point, which later found, was to eat with hot pot. This is delicious and delicious, but it looks really scary when the eggs are not put in the pot. So scared that I can’t describe it anymore … Having finished sipping a pair of flipped duck eggs, I suddenly smiled to myself when I thought about this day. Yeah, there’s still the second day of the lunar month. Outside the North, there is a strange custom that is rare in the South. It is to abstain from a few things, including eating and drinking, in the first few “days” of the month. Which is abstaining from dog meat, abstaining from duck meat, abstaining from squid, and abstaining from eggs. There are also people who do not abstain, but many people keep it very cautious. Cravings are cravings, those dishes have to wait through the day of the day. There are men who are more careful, still waiting for the full moon. They are afraid of stirring for a whole month. That abstinence has been brought up to the “realm” of people who are abstaining from haircuts and shaving. Not to mention watching the hours out of the house. Typically an old classmate of mine. He abstains from the color of clothes, shoes. In the past, we used to tease “So do you abstain from bathing, abstaining from washing your hair? If you abstain from that, then you will take a bath to make up four times a day?”. It is true superstition is afraid. From contemplating the thousand types of abstinence, I suddenly remembered the story that just happened. In the midst of the time COVID-19 was still a dangling threat, in the ten thousand people, it was a real fear. Unfortunately, there is a man with Corona virus there, he sneezes a few times, I don’t know how the disaster will be? And also the story about 50,000 people flocked to this temple that controversy about superstition arose. Every year as well as every year, that old story is unearthed. Yet in the end, nothing changed. I feel really sad thinking about it. Vietnam is a free country of belief. God everyone worshiped. Even there are many families, Catholic wives, and Buddhist husbands are still okay. Such freedom does prevent us from getting caught up in troublesome attachments that can greatly hinder the development of society. But ironically, what is popular is not faithfully believing in a certain belief. Instead it was a superstitious society with a vain amalgamation of different types of faiths. Gods, Buddha, mandarin, holy … people worship everything. No longer seeing true faith but just a mess of fear. It is no longer “worshiped, holy, abstained, and wholesome” as the elders said. The only remaining “is not worship because of the sacred, but just because of fear”. There are quite a few friends who understand the Buddhist teachings and I see clearly how they appear to be a true Buddhist. They have no fear of pagan evil spirits. They tend to understanding more philosophy and do not confuse gods, ghosts, elves, evil … of other faiths. But the number of such people in society is very rare. Popularly, we still meet individuals who always want to talk spiritually but really do not understand what is the most basic of a belief. They mixed Buddhism into religion, adding the spices of motherhood and a few other beliefs. What do they believe in? Nobody can answer. But I think the only thing they believe is fear. They are afraid of some supernatural intangible force that they themselves do not have a proper belief in to deal with that fear. I wonder, in the old days, in the time of the grandparents’ generation, was it like that? I’m afraid not. At that time, people who worship Buddha probably only believed completely in Buddha’s door. The way of making offerings of that time was probably also very different. And just looking at the architecture of the ancient temples is enough to understand. It is unified, it has the unique identity of the Vietnamese people. What about today? Temples were built many, very majestic, very superficial. But architecture is doped. A little China, a little Burmese, Thailand, Cambodia, a little Tibet, and even a few places like the Shinto gate of Japan. Such a mess was created out of a strange “monster”. After all, if people really believe in something, a certain belief, they will not lose their way between the message, coinciding with other beliefs. There is nothing bad when we choose for ourselves a belief in a time where science can explain these thousands and thousands of things. But it would be weird if we put our faith in a mess – pí – of belief, confusion and lack of dominant spirit. This messy placing of faith is the best proof that a person really does not have a faith of his own. Having a pure and faithful personal faith is your own choice, but in fact it also comes from the home environment. Parents, brothers and sisters believe that a little mess in each place will definitely lead to their children being affected and also easily distracted. That stray is confusion. And the two hours of “superstition” were just too precise to judge the beliefs of the majority today. Those who believe that eating duck, eggs or squid at the beginning of the lunar month will bring bad luck understand that no religion teaches their followers to abstain. And in the South, where there are so many Buddhists, there is no one who believes that such junk food can bring them bad luck. Basically, because when they really believe in Buddha, the power of Buddhist philosophy is enough for them to understand that the other three abstinence is the delusion of those who actually do not believe. Have we ever asked ourselves a question, “Yeah, what do we really believe in?”. Answering it actually opens up huge doors for ourselves. Because when we are determined to believe in a particular belief, we inevitably have to go through a process of defying the beliefs to see how much they truly conquer us. Having not overcome these challenges, it is clear that all that remains is blind.

If the good use of spices brings positive effects, but when the wrong is used, the wrong use can also have many potential health risks.

Spices are an indispensable ingredient in cuisine, the contribution of spices creates a multi-colored “culinary picture”. According to the definition of scientists and biology, spices are foods, herbs or chemical compounds added to dishes. Spices make food have a characteristic taste, attractive color, taste better, stimulate the digestive system of people to make the food easier to digest, and can be processed according to the principles of the East. y (welding food, heat) or the yin and yang principle with special foods.

There are many types of spices such as: fish sauce and salt (creating a salty taste); Housing, pepper, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, … (creating a spicy taste and characteristic smell), herbs such as coriander, basil, cumin, turmeric, … are eaten raw or added to food when marinated, Processing. Each type of spice, which can be processed with different doses, reductions, even different recipes suitable for each dish, reflects the ingenuity and sophistication of a culinary art with the chef. .

The role of spices: Spices are very important to season, locate food effectively, increase flavor, flavor, attractive color, stimulate digestion, make the dish more lively and attractive. enjoyers. Some spices are also used for the purpose of processing dishes according to the principles of Oriental medicine, similarity and incompatibility (the dish causes cold stomach, welding with spicy, hot spices). The mix of spices (dosage, proportion, type of seasoning) is associated with the housewives’ experience and culinary level, often there is not a common recipe for all dishes. Each dish has one or several typical spices (some meat comes with shrimp paste, chili, galangal root, lemongrass root, dog basil; fish soup must be cooked with a spoon; boiled chicken must be dipped in lime salt. and lime leaves, flipped duck eggs served with sliced ​​ginger and coriander, …).

Many familiar spices such as lemon basil, mint … have positive effects on health

Herbs: Lettuce, basil, smell, oregano, fresh onions, chili, garlic …) provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, are very good plant “antibiotics”. Green vegetables (cauliflower, celery, leeks, tomatoes, …) and fruits (oranges, lemons, mandarins …) are a source of vitamin C, vitamin C in the fruit is not lost due to processing. Out. B – Carotene is found in yellow, orange or dark green vegetables such as red pepper, carrots, tomatoes, mango, gac, red rose, greens, water spinach, green onions … Green vegetables are also a good source of folic acid, vitamin K. Legumes are rich in B vitamins (B1, B2). In addition, spices “natural antibiotics” are effective in preventing flu and viruses such as onions, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, apricot leaves, perilla, oregano, basil, mint, herbs, basil, …

But if raw vegetables are not hygienic (while using fertilizers: fresh manure, composted manure, using improper pesticides, …) is a carry-on dish. pathogen for the user: susceptible to gastrointestinal infections, helminthiasis, acute and chronic pesticide poisoning.

To ensure safety when using, it is necessary to pre-process and wash many times with clean water, it is best to wash each leaf directly under running water is the most effective method to remove worm eggs, pathogenic bacteria. and residues of pesticides still on the leaves of vegetables. Soaking raw vegetables in a dilute solution of potassium permanganate (usually a 1% solution of potassium permanganate) or dilute saline is often not hygienic. Through a number of experiments showed that, in the purple, dilute salt water, there is no effect on worm eggs and some pathogenic bacteria. The amount of plant protection chemicals is not significantly reduced if not rinsed many times.

Overuse of spices can have many potential health risks

So should apply the way to wash raw vegetables with clean water several times, then pick up the vegetables, drain before eating.

Salty spices such as fish sauce, salt, soup powder, … should be extremely limited, so eat them lightly because it is associated with a number of diseases. One 5g teaspoon of salt contains about 2000 mg of sodium, which is equivalent to the amount of salt that should only be consumed during the day for a normal adult without high blood pressure. Abandoning the habit of consuming foods containing a lot of salt such as salted eggplant, pickles, shrimp paste, shrimp paste, canned foods …

For a salt-restricted diet, individuals and families can reduce their salt intake with the following simple measures:

– Reduce the amount of salt, soup powder, fish sauce … added to food when cooking. The maximum is no more than one-fifth of a teaspoon of salt per one’s meal a day.

– Limit the use of products with high salt content such as french fries, pizza, canned foods …

Choose products with a low salt content when buying processed foods.

Read the labels when buying processed foods to check the salt content.

– Children should eat natural foods and strictly control the addition of salty spices.
