You now go out to eat a stuffed skin without tahini, and you have to deliberately remind the merchants not to put it, and when you encounter a busy meal, you must remind it again and again, for fear that the seasoning aunt will forget your words with a habitual action. If you are packing and taking away, then congratulations you must eat tahini, because the package is packed in advance by the merchant, there is no choice.

The popularity of tahini is probably synchronized with the popularity of hot pot, tahini in the hot pot shop that is a must-have condiment, the difference is to eat more and eat less can be added by yourself, eat or not eat completely by their own choice. Although Gansu has a long and cold winter, but because of regional and historical reasons, it has been relatively poor and backward for a long time, and the large-scale popularity of hot pot restaurants is still after 2005. Nowadays, with the gradual improvement of people's living conditions, they often cook hot pot at home to eat, and over time, the tall condiment tahini in the restaurant will also enter the table of ordinary people.
