Snail curry, typical culinary in the land of Minang

News24xx.com - Some time ago, Indonesian Minister of Agriculture has promoted the consumption of snails. This responds to the high prices of meat that are often discussed and also become the spotlight in the mass media.

 

Snails for people, especially those who are on duck farms, are the staple food of their livestock. And there are also those that can be consumed by humans. But, not all of these types can be consumed.

 

In West Sumatra, snails are not seafood, it is a special foods that complement rice. Snail curry has always been known in this area. Even a snack for some people.

 

In West Sumatra there are those who are known by the name Lingkitang, in Limapuluh towns known as rice snails. The color is almost the same but the shape of the shell is different. The circle extends while the slug of the rice field looks a bit like a golden snail.

 

For culinary hunters, if you go to Payakumbuh or Limapuluh Kota it's no stranger to this snail dish. There are several restaurants that serve snail menus as their trademark.

 

If we stop at a rice stall, in addition to our main menu, we will also serve a rice snail curry plate. This is usually served in a number of restaurants.

 

If Mr. Minister now suggests that eating snails or sipuik is too late for the people of Minang who have known it for a long time. Here it has become a typical menu area of ??the conch curry aka sipuik rice fields.

 

Maybe for foreigners to eat snails is disgusting, but in West Sumatra it has long been popular, it is not necessary for the Minister to suggest, West Sumatra has preserved and made it as its regional specialties.
