Cochineal Parasite Food
On the cochineal insect food
In the ancient world, there was a strange food, called cochineal insect food. Its origin is very different, and it is known to everyone.
The cochineal insect is born in a foreign plant. Its body is tiny, red, and gathered among the branches. It is collected and processed by a wonderful method, and can be a delicacy for food. At the beginning, people did not recognize its taste, but occasionally ate it, and felt that its taste was amazing, so it spread to the neighborhood.
Its food is also wonderful. When entering, it tastes fresh but not greasy, with a fruity aroma and a slight sweetness. When chewing, the taste is unique, and the unusual taste is comparable. Eating it can refresh the mind and refresh the spirit. At the time of feasting and drinking, they put this food at the table, and everyone was shocked, thinking it was rare.
However, this thing is not easy to come by. It is necessary to find the place where it grows, observe the season, and pick it at the right time. If it is too late, the insect body will be old and hard, and the taste will not be good; if it is picked too early, the taste will not be fully produced. The preparation after harvest also needs to be fine. Or boil or steam, or add spices, to make it delicious.
Therefore, although the food of cochineal insects is delicious, it is difficult to get and complicated to make. Even so, the name of its taste is still passed down in all directions, and it is a must for food.
