Summer is the golden season for eating barbecue, especially after entering the cloudy day, the weather is hot and dry, many people like to go out at night to cool off, by the way, order some small skewers of meat, drink some wine, so the barbecue stall business in this season is very hot. The fragrant skewers are really appetizing.
When it comes to eating barbecue, it is necessary to mention food safety. Now, in order to make huge profits, some merchants will "counterfeit" the choice of barbecue raw materials, some of which are the most easily counterfeited meat ingredients, processed raw materials can be counterfeited, and profits can reach more than 200%, which is difficult for outsiders to distinguish.
First, lamb kebabs
Lamb kebabs can be said to be the "shoulder handle" in barbecue ingredients. Most of the first kebabs ordered by many people are also lamb kebabs, which shows that lamb kebabs have a high status in the hearts of gourmets. But you know what? For the sake of profit, some unscrupulous merchants would pass off on cheap duck breast meat as lamb. After the frozen duck breast is naturally thawed, they will peel it, cut it into small pieces, and then cut the sheep's tail oil into small pieces. Combine the cut duck and tail oil in a 2:1 ratio and marinate with some seasonings. Because the sheep's tail oil itself has a very heavy mutton flavor, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish between true and false in appearance and taste.
Second, sheep loins
When it comes to lamb loins, I'm sure everyone is familiar with them. This is a favorite of many male friends. Roast lamb kidney is a rare delicacy, fragrant and oily and tender on the outside.
There are generally two kinds of lamb loins on the market, one is crude oil lamb loin, and the other is oil-wrapped lamb loin. The quality level of the oiled lamb loin is uneven, and a large part of it is "counterfeit". As we all know, sheep only have two waists, and the market is not enough to supply, so there is an "oil-wrapped waist". Oil-coated tenderloin is usually replaced by cheap beef loin or beef liver and covered with a thick layer of mutton oil. After freezing, it looks like crude loin meat.
Third, beef skewers
Lamb kebabs can be forged, beef skewers can be forged, the cost may be lower, and the degree of simulation is higher. The price of beef has always been more expensive, so the price of real beef skewers will be higher. At present, in some barbecue stalls in the market, the price of beef skewers is about 2-3 yuan, and the size is not small, which is likely to be fake beef. This beef and lamb is usually made with lymphatic meat or duck meat as raw materials, and then marinated with "beef essence". Cured meats are very close to beef in taste and texture.
