I have always thought that mutton is the freshest thing, in addition to the expensive points have no disadvantages, the people who like to eat lamb in the north and south of the river should be similar. It wasn't until I saw an authoritative statistical chart a few days ago that I found that southerners may really not like to eat lamb.
The vast majority of provinces in the south, the amount of lamb per capita eaten a year is very small, Chongqing, Yunnan, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guizhou these provinces and cities of the annual per capita mutton consumption is less than one pound, the least Guizhou only consumes 4 or two mutton per capita a year, which may be a difficult to accept in the north, after all, eating a meal of lamb, barbecue or whatever is more than 1 pound. What is the reason why southerners do not like to eat lamb? Probably for the following reasons.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >1, the lamb in the south has a big taste</h1>
Southern sheep breeds are actually not too many, and most of them are goats, goat meat is much larger than the sheep meat, each bite will be more intense, so the southern lamb rarely white cut, stewed, shabu eating, generally braised, red braised and other methods, put a lot of onion ginger garlic wine and the like to cover the smell, but it is still difficult to remove this taste.
And there are many varieties of sheep in the north, and there are many top well-known varieties, such as Altay big tail sheep, Salt Pond Beach lamb, Zhongwei City Mountain Sheep, Inner Mongolia Uzu Muqin lamb, these lambs are not only small in taste, delicate in meat, but also sweet to eat, and even have a milk aroma, the best way to eat is "white cut", put a little salt boiled water, holding a large piece of meat to eat is the most enjoyable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" >2, lamb in the south is expensive</h1>
The lamb in the south consumes less, the circulation is slow, the price of strange goods can be relatively high, a pound of lamb sixty or seventy yuan is normal, compared to cheap pork, chicken, fish and even beef, the taste of large and expensive lamb is not the best choice, after all, there are too many seafood, fungi, meat to choose from, in a word, there are too many good ingredients in the south.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" >3, southern lamb is cooked less</h1>
Mutton in ancient times in the north is quite popular, especially after the cold weather, eating mutton is more able to make people warm and warm, the practice is also quite a lot, Inner Mongolia hand meat, roasted whole lamb, Xinjiang lamb pilaf, lamb skewers; Beijing's shabu lamb; Henan's red braised lamb, lamb braised noodles, Shandong's onion fried lamb, Gansu's haggis soup, fried haggis, mutton can make too many tricks. The lamb practice in the south is relatively small, and many times it is still used as a topping, such as mutton powder in Guizhou, lamb pots in Suzhou, and more places to make braised lamb with skin.

The statistics of eating lamb may not be in line with some people who love to eat lamb, feeling a little less, but this is per capita, men and women, young and old are included, in fact, there are many people who do not eat lamb for the first time a year, and there are not many after the average.
There is a big difference between southerners eating mutton and northerners eating mutton, and southerners eat mutton with skin! At that time, Liang Shiqiu said: "The braised lamb that the southerners eat is goat meat, which has a strong temperament, the meat is thin, and even the skin is eaten, and the northerners think it is a strange thing, because the northern sheepskin is left as a skin jacket and is reluctant to eat." "Of course, now the use of sheepskin to make cotton jackets, leather shoes is not the main reason, but the northerners still do not have the habit of eating sheepskin, want to buy no place to buy, sheepskin sweet, crisp and elastic, the taste is quite good, it is a pity a good ingredient."
