China Series : Jade Green Snail Soup
In the olden days in Minqing the Foochows caught snails in the creeks to make a special jade green soup to nourish their lugs.
It was a commoners' dish, home cooked and enjoyed by every one, especially by those suffering from TB and other lung infections. May who suffered from TB were skinny to the bones and some died violently at the end of their short life.
Today this soup is a rare dish in good restaurants in centres of counties in Fuzhou Province.
I am blessed to have been served this soup during my recent May trip to China.
