Random visit
Note that the covers over those stands were red, so I got lots of pics with "red light".
Lots of food in the Amazon's basin, of all types.
Although selling turtles and their eggs is legal, most species are quite threatened, and their “harvest” is regulated, but authorities are not able to "enforce" regulations...hence lots come from areas supposed to be protected....not sustainable.
Turtle eggs are (not only in Peru, but in many parts of the world) supposed to have lots of medicinal properties (against bronchitis...as a natural equivalent of viagra...against aid....), so although they are more expensive than chicken once (quite equivalent in nutrient content), in addition of being "a delicacy"...there is demand.
"Culture" I've just discovered that "Wang Ba Dan"..."turtle egg" in Mandarin...is an insult (kind of son of a b..)
Le bassin de l'Amazone fournit beaucoup de nourriture, de tous types.
Bien que la vente de tortues et de leurs oeufs soit legale, beaucoup d'especes sont en danger et leur prelevement est reglemente, mais les autorites n'ont pas les moyens de faire respecter cette reglementation....le braconage dans les zones dites protegees est important...et cet approvisionnement va s'epuisant.
Dans differentes parties du monde, de nombreuses proprietes medicinales sont attribuees aux oeufs de tortues …(”bons pour les bronches”, equivalent du Viagra, voir traitement ou prevention du sida….) si bien que malgre leur cout, plus eleve que ceux de poules (pour des qualities alimentaires jugees equivalents par d’autres, plus “scientifiques”)…il y a de la demande, d’autant plus qu’ils osnt recherches pour leur gout.
Hum "culture"..je decouvre que "Wang Ba Dan"..."oeuf de tortue" egg" en Mandarin...est une insulte (genre fils de p.....)
