There is an old saying in the countryside that donkey meat is fragrant and horse meat is fragrant. Why donkey meat tastes better?

As the saying goes in the countryside, "Donkey meat smells like horse meat". Is horse meat really smelly? There are actually three reasons.

I believe many people have heard the saying, although it is exaggerated, it vividly shows that donkey meat is a very delicious thing, that is, "donkey meat on the ground of dragon meat in the sky." Compared with dragons, we can see how delicious this is.

Donkey meat can also afford this honor. Donkey meat is popular all over the country, and the fresh and firm taste greatly increases Bian Xiao's appetite. Not only that, there are more folk sayings that prove that donkey meat is delicious from the side, the most famous of which is "donkey meat smells like horse meat".

Speaking of which, I believe some people will wonder. Why does this sentence use the method of belittling another food to show that it is better than the previous statement? In fact, this is not belittling, which has its own mystery.

First of all, the argument that horse meat is not delicious is not groundless. Because as we all know, our Chinese food is varied, and at the most abundant time of the year, it is almost full of banquets. Everything that flies in the sky and runs on the ground, as long as it tastes good, there is nothing we can't do.

Some netizens even joked that what foreigners regarded as a scourge was eaten up on the way to China. Although this is only a joke, it also proves that our demand for food is endless.

Therefore, horse meat is not ugly, but really bad. It's not as smelly as the saying goes, but it's not as delicate and firm as donkey meat. Even if it's cooked, donkey meat will have a wonderful enjoyment.

Horse meat is crude fiber, which is difficult to chew in your mouth. It tastes bad when cooked, and even feels like chewing wax. In contrast, horse meat is naturally defeated in front of delicious donkey meat.

Besides, there are actually many other factors that cause people not to eat horse meat. Among them, the first point is that the position of horses in ancient times is very important. Think about it, in that era without cars, a group of good horses was even the key to victory in the war.

The status of horses at that time was actually higher than that of other species, and it is actually the same today. You can see that many people like racing cars, raising horses and taking care of BMW ponies, but when have you ever seen anyone treat donkeys, mules or cows like this? Therefore, our country actually did not have the habit of eating horse meat from the beginning.

In addition, just like many people still don't choose to eat dog meat, horses are actually spiritual, and some can even have a spiritual connection with their owners. In ancient times, one's own horse was even his wandering partner, so no one would eat one's own partner and the same kind.

There is another problem, which can be said to be the third reason why no one eats horse meat now. Unlike other livestock, no one will keep a special meat horse. Most of the horse meat on the market now is old, weak, sick and disabled horse racing. In order to win the race, these horses are usually injected or fed with many drugs.

These drugs will be deposited in horses over time and will remain in horses' meat after death. No one can tell what effect these drugs will have on people's health, but they always make people feel a little uncomfortable.

But having said that, Bian Xiao is talking about our habits, not the habits of nomadic people. The environment on the grassland is much worse than ours. Under many extreme conditions, they can't decide their own food, but eat whatever they have.

In addition, few nomadic people will raise their own horses, and many people will raise some meat for horses. The cooking habits of prairie people are also different from ours. Under their cooking, even horse meat with bad taste will have a different flavor.

Bian Xiao said so much, but horse meat is not to your taste. You still have to taste it yourself to know. Just like many people are used to silkworm chrysalis, some people are not. In the final analysis, it's all a matter of personal taste.
