The Deep-fried Live Fish

A news report: Singapore banned restaurants from making and selling a Chinese delicacy "fried live fish". According to the cloud: "This delicacy, cooked with the 'secret recipe of Northern China', was introduced to Singapore by a visiting chef from mainland China. That is, a live carp, after removing the scales, put the part below the two gills into the frying pan to fry. When the fried fish is served on the plate, the fish still gasps for air."

I didn't know there was such a secret recipe in Beiping. There are not many people who eat "choked live shrimp" in Beiping. Hangzhou West Lake building outside the building of a famous dish "choke live shrimp", I have seen, I did not dare to eat. Once upon a time there were not many decent Jiangsu and Zhejiang restaurants in Beiping, small Wu Fang Zhai Dahong House and so on, occasionally have choked live shrimp should be market, the northerners mostly dare not appreciate. But I've seen the guys at Zhengyang House perform eating live crab, a large live crab from the tank, hard to uncover the crab shells, sucking the crab yellow and crab white. The crab's eight legs and two cheeks were stabbed to death! I have never seen such a scene in Beiping. As for the fried live fish, I had never heard of it. The lower half of the fish has been fried cooked, the gills are still in a bulge of gas, if possible, it is palpitating to watch.

I once watched a chef at a restaurant called "Oriental Cuisine" prepare a plate of lobster. A lazy lobster from the water closet, not "raw", after a little brushing, click the head of the shrimp cut off, then peel the skin, cut the meat into pieces, and then put the shrimp head and tail on the plate, the whiskers on the head of the shrimp still dancing. This is Oriental cuisine. They "hara-kiri" are able to do, cutting a live lobster is nothing!

Japanese people love to eat raw fish, I think in the mouth, soft, slimy, rotten, not tasty. We also sometimes eat raw fish. West Lake building outside the building on the "fish raw" a dish, take live fish, thinly sliced, flat on the plate, poured on a little soy sauce sesame oil wine, addicted to the taste of the endless. Yunnan restaurant over the bridge noodles, without a plate of sliced raw fish, Guangdong teahouse fish congee, are cooked raw fish to eat. The gentleman far from the kitchen, hear its voice can not bear to eat its meat! Today the so-called "fried live fish", is to eat fish in addition to appreciate the painful expression of its death gasp, I do not know what its intentions. The ban is certainly appropriate. But to say that this is the secret recipe of Beiping, if true, is also a new invention of recent decades. Once upon a time, the people of Beiping did not have such cruelty.

Cruelty, barbarism, is not new. Part of human nature is originally cruel and barbaric. Our thousands of years of history has recorded many brutal and unkind things, such as the Han Dynasty's Empress Lu to Mrs. Qi "severed hands and feet, remove the eyes, smoked ears, drink methadone, placed in the toilet, known as human swine", earlier King Zhou's "anointed bronze pillar, under the charcoal, so that the guilty line, always fall into the charcoal, Daji laugh, called the torture of cannon brand. The killing of a person is just a head point, no, to let him die slowly, to let him for a laugh, this is the vicious barbarism of man. People are still so to people, the aquatic fish and shrimp can also be merciful?" The secret recipe for fried live fish in Beiping "I would rather believe that there is such a thing. There is an example of eating live monkey brains alive.

The barbaric cruelty of the West is not at all posthumous. The ancient Roman amphitheater of the lion cannibalism, is the entertainment of thousands of spectators. The Catholic Church's trial of heretics burning the living was considered as obedience to the will of God. The Spanish bullfight, in which a sharp sword is thrust into the back of a bull until it falls to the ground and dies, is a grand show for the whole country. Beasts eat people, people slaughter beasts, the same bloody gas, compared to frying live fish and not how particularly cruel.

Savage and cruel habits are deeply rooted in human nature, after years of cultural cultivation, there are fashionable and inevitably exposed. Xunzi main nature of evil, there is his side of the truth. He said: "Those who indulge in sex, an unrestrained, and violate propriety and righteousness are villains. "The one who fries live fish is a villain!
