"Look, it looks pretty good." Tom proudly waved the squid meat towards Hermione, showing off his achievement.
The squid that had been hastily handled by Tom was not as disgusting and unacceptable as it had been in life. The snail meat even looked crystal clear. But Hermione was quite impressed by the squid before it was processed.
The ferocious appearance was still vivid in her mind, so even though it looked like shrimp meat, she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Here, take it away!" Hermione couldn't help but trembled.
Tom quickly looked at Hagrid's position and found that he was comforting Hannah whose fingers were burned. It could be seen that Hagrid was trying his best to eliminate the adverse effects caused by the blast-ended snails. However, one wave did not end, and another wave appeared.
Before the tears in the corners of Hannah's eyes were wiped away, Tom's roommate Michael Corner let out another scream.
"It stung me!" A stream of blood appeared on Michael Corner's wrist. It seemed that he was stung by the sting on the back of the bomb-tailed snail. Hagrid walked away quickly from Hannah and came.
Go to Michael and wrap up the wound on his finger.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they are non-toxic." Hagrid reassured Michael while patting his chest.
"Non-toxic?" Tom's eyes lit up. This is really good news. You see, the squid still has advantages!
Hagrid's words are quite reasonable. For a species that is covered in carapace and can actively cause explosions, there is really no motivation to light up the "Poison" skill branch.
The carapace of an adult snail is strong enough to deflect spells. When it runs rampant, it looks like a small tank. However, the current snail is still in its juvenile state, and its shell is not even as hard as a shrimp shell. Just be careful not to get pricked by the thorns.
alright.
"The water is as clear as a spring!" Tom washed the fried-tailed snail meat in his hands. The fried-tailed snail originally smelled like fish and rotten shrimp, but after Tom peeled off the soft shell, washed away the mucus, and removed the internal organs, the smell was gone.
It completely disappeared.
"The flames are blazing!" After cleaning the fried-end snail meat, Tom took a few steps away, lit a fire in the corner, and then slowly grilled the prepared fried-end snail meat on the fire.
Tom instinctively felt that the smell of the snails shouldn't be too bad. Especially since Hagrid's batch of snails were just hatched babies and had not had time to eat any strange food.
As for the appearance? Don't pay too much attention to it, it's just crackling shrimp.
The meat of fried-tailed snails is not very resistant to grilling. After being roasted on the fire for only ten seconds, the snail meat turned into a snow-white color and gave off the aroma of fresh seafood. Tom removed the snail meat from the fire.
I brought it to my mouth, blew it twice, and chewed it in one bite. I felt the delicious fragrance explode in my mouth. The slightly grilled snail meat was crispy and fragrant, sweet and rich, which Tom had never tasted before.
It was so delicious that Tom chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed the body of the snail in one go.
The trunk of the snail tastes exactly like lobster, but the tail has a completely different texture - like bone marrow, with a crispy shell on the outside and a greasy marrow with an aroma of oil inside.
The fried-ended snail smelled disgusting when it was alive, but the cleaned meat had no peculiar smell, which made Tom's index finger move.
"It's a pity that there is no seasoning. If you can use soy sauce, vinegar, minced ginger and minced garlic to make a sauce
Tom looked at the box full of Blast-Ended Skrewts with unfulfilled interest.
Hermione witnessed the whole process of Tom hunting the squid, and she was dumbfounded.
"Are you okay? Can you eat this kind of thing?" After the shock, Hermione felt a little worried: Don't eat magical animals indiscriminately!
"Don't worry, Hagrid said, the snail is not poisonous." Tom's common sense told him that animals in the ecological niche of the snail are unlikely to be poisonous. Tom is more concerned about the taste of the snail than the illusory poisoning.
.
Can this kind of thing be used as sashimi? Will the taste change after adulthood? These are all questions that need to be explored.
"Would you like some?" Shi Yan looked at Shi Yan, and then at the box full of snails, feeling a little unfinished.
Shi Yan fell into determination. On one side, her reason was dissuading her from trying food of unknown origin, and on the other side was Tom's warm invitation. Looking at Tom's expression just now, he seemed to really enjoy it.
"Okay, I've eaten lobster and other seafood many times, but are you sure that squid can be treated like lobster? After all, this kind of creature is not mentioned in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Magic Potions and Potions"
There is no record of the characteristics of fried-ended snail meat." Shi Yan finished recalling the books she had read and tried to find records about fried-ended snails, but she failed.
"There is no record, which means that it has no special potion value, and there is no need to care about it. You must know that those poisonous and harmful magical animals have long been discovered and recorded by the predecessors of the magic world." At this point, Hai
Ge couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for his predecessors in the magic world. But it was a pity that the predecessors did not record the smell of various magical animals.
Hagrid fished out a blast-ended snail from the box again. This time he did not rush to disembowel the blast-ended snail, but observed this strange creature very carefully. His dragon skin gloves and
The long-sleeved wizard's robe played an extremely important role in preventing him from being burned by the tail of the Blast-Ended Skrewt or being stabbed by the spikes on his back.
After observing for a moment, Hagrid had to admit that it was really difficult to find the mouth and eyes of the snail. Then he removed the head and internal organs of the snail, and quickly turned it into a trembling mass.
of snail meat.
"It's still hard for me to accept it!" Tom still couldn't forget the initial appearance of the squid. It was quite a challenging attempt for her to take a bite of this thing.
"I don't think you dislike the snails in French food." Hagrid brought the peeled and washed snails to his fire.
Ten seconds later, a bunch of steaming grilled snail meat came out of the oven.
"I'm afraid of living snails too," Tom defended himself, but after hearing Hagrid's analogy, her acceptance of the snail suddenly became higher.
Looking at Tom who moved honestly to his side, Shi Yan knew that the time had come, and Shi Yan just refused to take the initiative to ask for food out of face.
"It's baked, come on, open your mouth!'
"Huh? When Tom wanted to say something, Hagrid, with his quick eyes and quick hands, stuffed the snail into Shi Yan's mouth.
Ugh!
The grilled snail meat just taken off the fire was a bit hot for Shi Yan, but it did have a magical aroma!
She chewed the snail meat quickly and exhaled loudly, as if the snail came to life in her mouth and had a fight with her tongue.
