Visiting the African vegetable market, lobsters and crabs are everywhere. Why do the poor in Africa say they have nothing to eat?

Now we treat Africa as if it always smells a little bad. Africans always give people the first impression that they can't eat enough. As long as we can often see the relevant African scenes on the Internet and TV, the people there seem to have suffered from famine for a long time, and the children are thin and dark, and they eat very little. But this idea is a bit one-sided. Are Africans really hungry? This is not necessarily true, because Africa's new land is vast.

if you have been to Africa, you will be surprised by the local natural environment, especially the local farmers' market. you certainly didn't expect that there are a lot of seafood everywhere in African food markets. Africans actually eat more seafood on weekdays than most people in China. Mainly because Africa has a long sea area, and the warmest sea surface and current produce rich and diverse seafood network resources.

In African food markets, you can see small traders with big and fat fish in front of them. They need crayfish longer than adults' arms, a lot of big abalone, sea lobster and mountains of cancer. In the eyes of many people, this kind of seafood is all expensive ingredients, but for local people, this kind of food is just the ingredients that have been used to eating on weekdays, and it is still something that people don't want to eat. What's more, it is the leftover ingredients that poor people eat.

why do you say that this seafood sashimi seems to be leftover food from poor people? After all, in the local farmers' market, the price of this kind of seafood is so good that you can buy a bucket with only 1 yuan money. No matter whether crayfish or cancer are put in the bucket, you can buy it directly and take it with you. For the poor, this kind of seafood is more suitable as a product than as an ingredient.

why is Africa in such an excellent position that it can master so many seafood, but African natives don't like seafood and say that they have nothing to eat? On the one hand, the total number of seafood in Africa is too large, and poor people can basically get some just by Shanghai. Eating seafood every day, after eating for a long time, anyone can't be interested in seafood. Therefore, when people in Africa treat a lot of seafood, they just treat them as general ingredients.

On the other hand, the way Africans cook seafood is really reduced. In addition to boiling water, it is fire, and there is basically no other way. In many coastal areas of Africa, stone fish is the most common thing for everyone to eat. Even the cafeterias are full of stone fish and baked all kinds of freshwater fish. Crayfish, cancer and shrimp are all boiled in water, and there is no seasoning or flavor, so Africans have had enough of this light-flavored seafood.

Looking back at African farmers' markets now, can you still say that Africans don't have enough to eat? In fact, there are quite a lot of ingredients in Africa. Apart from all kinds of seafood, there are also breadfruit growing on trees and cassava starch with extremely surprising growth and development level. All these foods are African dinners. So don't say that Africans don't have enough to eat, that's definitely prejudice.
