"Ming Qian snails, game eat goose." These six words point out the seasonal characteristics of Suzhou people's cuisine. Suzhou people are very particular about seasonal food, such as green dumplings, support cakes, Ming snails, early spring goose, cauliflower turtle, Jiuyongbing, Xiaoshu rice field eel, winter wine, etc., are all tied to the season.
During the Qingming Festival, the temperature gradually rises, everything recovers, and the dormant snails crawl out of the soil one after another. At this time, the snail meat is plump and there are no small snails in the shell. It is the best season to eat snails. The snails are green in color, thin in shell, large in grain, and fat in meat. They are indeed excellent delicacies. The taste and nutrition are not inferior to the "Early Spring Goose", the king of poultry in Suzhou. After the Qingming Festival, a snail butt head followed a group of small snails that gradually formed and hardened. It was troublesome to eat, and the meat quality was poor. So Suzhou people no longer eat it, and the snails can reproduce with peace of mind. It's usually cooked in sauce, but today I changed it and made a snail soup!
