Before the outbreak in Hebei, I had an experience with my friends eating sheep's head, and for the first time, I learned the beauty of sheep's head. I remember that it was an early winter day, a group of friends gathered together in the middle school period of the old class leader's home, to the meal point, the old class leader said: "Let's go outside to eat the sheep's head, the door restaurant has a new steamed sheep's head, there is no smell at all." Someone said, "How much meat can a sheep's head have, and the old squad leader will save money." "Then you are a layman, the sheep's head is a good thing, the sheep's tongue, the sheep's brain, the sheep's face, the sheep's eyes, the sheep's ears, not fat and not greasy." It is particularly delicious, or a must-eat product in autumn and winter in old Beijing. ”
The old class leader is right, I once read a book "Koufu Old Beijing", wrote two ways to eat sheep's head. One is sheep's head meat, and the other is sheep's head with sauce. The book says that the sheep's head meat is a must in Beijing, cut as thin as paper, sprinkled with pepper and salt crumbs, and used to chew the wine, which is a supreme product. Sheep's head meat includes "face", "letter" (that is, the root of the tongue), "ceiling" (sheep loading), "ladder to the sky" (sheep tongue), sheep eyes, sheep hooves, sheep tendons, hoof tendons are not counted, and the sheep "face" taste is the most profound. Sheep's eyes are eating the middle of the heart, sheep ears are eating crisp bones, lamb tendons are eating a tendon, eating sheep's head in winter, drinking two or two small wines from head to toe is warm.
To this day, white water sheep's head is still a fine product in Beijing snacks, and the sheep's head is boiled in white water and sliced, sprinkled with pepper and salt. The color is white and clean, the meat slices are thin and large, crisp and tender, mellow and not greasy, and it is suitable for accompanying meals and wines. In the "Yanjing Small Food Miscellaneous Songs", baishui sheep's head is praised: "In October, Yanjing is cold and windy, and the sheep's head is endlessly delicious." The salt is sprinkled like snow and thinly cut into the same paper. "The poem tells the taste and skill of the white water sheep's head, which is a must.
"Sauce sheep's head" is produced outside the Door of Desheng, the inventor is Dong Siba, the "sauce sheep's head" made, the taste is deep, especially among which "walnut meat" is the most interesting. Dong set up a stall in DeshengMen Neiguozi City North Yixing Gate Head, for a long time, there are many customers, and there are willing to sell for it, so it gradually became a "sauce sheep's head workshop", in addition to self-sale, there are still a large number of production and sale.
The hotel recommended by the old class leader is not far from his home, which is a long-established brand in our Zhao County. It is mainly based on the traditional eight bowls. Steamed sheep's head is a new dish in his family. Because of the delicious shape of this dish, it has become the signature dish of the restaurant. His family's steamed sheep's head, the original taste, the sheep's head has to be boiled until the skin is separated, the meat is rotten and sticky to the hand is cooked well, and the cut is extremely thin, with crisp raw white radish slices on the bottom, the radish slices have the effect of degreasing greasy and clearing the mouth. Steamed lamb head meat is not pepper salt, poured with vinegar and garlic sauce. The combination of lamb and garlic sauce is excellent.
Anyone who eats sheep's head is a person who can eat. Although the sheep's head has many bones, the three pounds of sheep's head only produce nine or two pieces of meat. But sheep's head meat is indeed delicious, and it is a lamb delicacy that many people like to eat. After the sheep's head is cooked and stewed, the taste is more delicious than the simple lamb. Sheep's head meat is warm, often eaten in winter can not only increase human body heat, resist the cold, but also has a high food supplement value: blood warm menstruation, warm tonic liver and kidney and spleen and stomach, is an excellent warm supplement ingredients.
