The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Look, it looks pretty good." Tom proudly shook the fried tail snail meat at Hermione, showing off his achievements.

The fried tail snails treated hastily by Tom are not as disgusting and unacceptable as they were before, and the snail meat even looks crystal clear. But Hermione was quite impressed by the fried tail snails, and the hideous appearance before the treatment was still vivid in her mind, so even if it looked like shrimp, she couldn't help but take a step back.

"Take, take it farther!" Hermione couldn't help but shuddered.

Tom quickly glanced at Hagrid's location 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 of the blow-up snails. But before the tears were wiped from the corners of Hannah's eyes, Tom's roommate Michael Kona let out another scream.

"It stung me!" A wisp of blood appeared on Michael Corner's wrist, which appeared to be stabbed by the stinger on the back of the exploding snail. Hagrid walked briskly from Hannah to Michael, wrapping the wound on his finger.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they're non-toxic." Hagrid patted his chest as he bandaged Michael.

"Non-toxic?" Tom's eyes lit up, which was really good news. You see, fried tail snails still have advantages!

Hagrid's words are quite reasonable. A species that is covered in carapace and can actively trigger explosions again and again has no motivation to light up the "poison" skill branch.

The carapace of the adult snail is strong enough to deflect spells, and it rampages like a small tank. However, the current fried tail snails are still in their juvenile state, and their shells are not even as hard as shrimp shells. Just be careful not to get stabbed by thorns.

"Clear water is like a spring!" Tom cleaned the fried snail meat in his hand. The fried tail snail had a smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, but after Tom peeled off the soft shell, washed the mucus, and removed the internal organs, the odor disappeared completely.

"Burning flames!" After cleaning the fried tail snail meat, Tom walked a few steps away, raised a fire in the corner, and then slowly roasted the processed fried tail snail meat on the fire.

Tom instinctively felt that the taste of fried tail snails should not be too bad. Especially Hagrid's batch of fried tail snails were just hatched baby snails, and they didn't have time to eat any strange food.

As for appearance? Don't worry so much, it's just crackling and popping shrimp.

The meat of the fried tail snails is not very resistant to roasting. After only ten seconds of roasting on the fire, the snail meat turned snow-white, and there was an aroma of fresh seafood. Tom removed the snail meat from the fire, brought it to his mouth, blew lightly twice, and chewed it in one bite, only to feel the fresh aroma bursting in his mouth, and the lightly roasted snail meat was crispy and fragrant, clear. It was sweet and rich, a taste that Tom had never tasted before. Tom chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed the torso of the fried snail.

The body of the fried snail tastes like a lobster, but the tail has a completely different taste-like bone marrow, with a crisp shell on the outside and a smooth medulla with a greasy aroma on the inside.

The fried tail snails smelled disgusting when they were alive, but the clean meat did not have any peculiar smell, which made Tom move his index finger.

"It's a pity that there are no seasonings. If you can make a sauce with soy sauce, vinegar, minced **** and minced garlic..." Tom looked at the box full of fried tail snails with interest.

Hermione was stunned when she witnessed the whole process of Tom's prey of fried tail snails.

"Are you all right? Can you eat this kind of thing?" After being shocked, Hermione felt a little worried: Fantastic animals can't be eaten indiscriminately!

"Don't worry, Hagrid said, fried-tailed snails are non-toxic." Tom's common sense told him that animals in the ecological niche of fried-tailed snails are unlikely to be poisonous. Tom is more concerned about the taste of fried-tailed snails than illusory poisoning. .

Can this kind of thing be used for sashimi? Will the taste change in adulthood? These are all questions to explore.

"Would you like to have some?" Tom looked at Hermione and then at the box full of fried tail snails, a little hesitant.

Hermione was hesitant. On the one hand, her reason was discouraging her from trying food of unknown origin, and on the other hand, it was Tom's warm invitation. Just seeing Tom's expression, he seemed to be really enjoying it.

"Well, I've eaten seafood like lobster many times, but are you sure that fried tail snails can be handled like lobsters? After all, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" didn't mention this creature, "Magic Potions and Potions" There is also no record of the characteristics of fried tail snail meat." Hermione began to recall the books she had read, trying to find records about fried tail snails, but she failed.

"There is no record, indicating 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 seniors in the magic world." Speaking of this, Tom The seniors in the magic world couldn't help but feel a little bit of awe. It's just a pity that the seniors did not write down the taste of various magical animals.

Tom fished out a fried tail snail from the box again. This time, he did not rush to disembowel the blow-tailed snail, but observed this strange creature very seriously. His dragonskin gloves and long-sleeved wizard's robes played a vital role in keeping him from being burned by the tail of a blasting snail or stabbed by the spikes on his back.

Observe for a moment~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Tom has to admit: the mouth and eyes of the fried snail are really hard to find. Then he removed the head and internal organs of the fried-tailed snail, turning it into a quivering mass of snail meat swiftly with his hands and feet.

"I'm still having a hard time accepting it!" Hermione still couldn't forget the initial appearance of the blow-up snail. It was quite a challenge for her to have a taste of this stuff.

"I didn't see you dislike the snails in French food." Tom came to his fire with the peeled and washed fried tail snails.

After more than ten seconds, a string of steaming grilled snail meat came out of the oven.

"I... I'm also afraid of living snails." Hermione defended herself, but listening to Tom's analogy, she suddenly became more accepting of fried tail snails.

Seeing Hermione who moved her body honestly to his side, Tom knew that the time was ripe, and Hermione was just unwilling to ask for food because of her face.

"It's baked, come, open your mouth!"

"Huh? Wait—" Hermione wanted to say something, but Tom was quick and shoved the fried tail snail into Hermione's mouth.

Well!

The grilled snail meat that was just taken off the fire was a bit hot to Hermione, but... it did have a magical aroma!

She chewed the snail meat quickly, and at the same time exhaled heavily, as if the fried tail snail had come alive in her mouth and had a fight with her tongue.
