Around the world, is the glory of the magical properties of the meat poisonous snakes, which increases the vitality of the organism. Particularly useful is tasty and the meat snakes fallen into hibernation. On the eve of winter, then come a good time to eat a snake.
It is believed that the simplest solution - to catch a snake. Where are harder to cook from her delicious dishes. Perfection is reached Chinese and Vietnamese, they have a real art. Do not fear the unpleasant consequences of eating meat snakes: almost all snakes are edible, but the poison, as we know, there are only in your head.
Snakes disgusting smell. The faster of the snake will cook the dish, the less unpleasant sensations (of course, if you decide to cook snake delicacies of his own). However, when the snake meat is underdone, it also can reek.
So, if you decide to cook your own meals from a snake, then the sequence of action follows.
Another live snake make a short longitudinal incision and consequent collect blood. Then the snake's blood can be mixed with vodka or cognac - would make an excellent aperitif.

The most delicious morsel at a snake - the heart. It is extracted through the incision made earlier. The Vietnamese prefer to eat the raw heart and drink rice vodka (Fortress 20-30 degrees depending on the variety, rather, it is rice wine) mixed with snake blood.
Now you need to be skinned. First, the skin in the direction from the tail to the head should be cut with scissors or a thin knife. After a long longitudinal section, with one hand take the skin, the other pulled the carcass. By the way, from the carcass do not forget to remove the colon. Then the carcass must be washed, cut and ready to continue as a fish.

The dishes in these restaurants (except for pork and chicken) is prepared from products, mostly imported from China. Ingredients exotic dishes, such as those of snakes, often delivered by plane. Hence, the corresponding prices in the menu.
In general, the Chinese cuisine, there are four main areas: Beijing, Shanghai, Szechuan and Cantonese school. Dishes also made of snakes, belong to the front of the Chinese kitchen. From a snake can get a full meal, if ordered snake skin fried in butter, broth from snake skin, snake stew meat with bones and alcohol, mixed with snake blood and bile.
... I am impressed by the Chinese approach to food. They may wear cheap clothes, shoes without socks, but the food - it is for them sacred. It's a ritual, or, if you want, the cult of consumption of food. By and large, all right, because your body - this is what you ate.
