大杜杜It's the annual "May Day" holiday again, and the whole country is once again crowded. However, if I don't go out during the rare holiday, I always feel a little bit of loss. Like every time, I will choose a niche place to travel. So the "3rd China Hejian Donkey Meat Fire Food Festival" came into my sight. "Donkey fire" also has a festival!! I have to give a big thumbs up to the local leaders, who really put their minds to developing the economy. As the saying goes, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground", donkey meat is red and tender, and has a strong taste. It has finer fibers than beef and tastes better. It is not as greasy as pork, nor does it have the smell of mutton. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that donkey meat is the best of the beast meat. Hejian donkey meat fire is a traditional delicacy in Hejian City. The taste is hot on the outside and refreshing on the inside, refreshing and mellow. Hejian donkey meat fire has a long history, which can be traced back to Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. Hejian is the hometown of roasted donkey meat, including Gaomana, Yingxiang Pavilion, Qinglin, Boli, Enci, Sun Xile, Tianci Migezhuang, Hama Tunmi, Lao Suntou, etc., which are well-known roasted donkey meat brands in Hejian and even in the whole country. In terms of choice, I did not choose the "high-end" "Donkey Fire Hotel", but chose a more conventional traditional old store, so "Lao Suntou" became the first choice. The reason is very simple, because just like Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns, which were originally a good popular snack, after being acquired by outsiders and turned into "Goubuli Hotel", the steamed buns can be sold for 48 yuan each, and the taste is no longer the taste of Tianjin steamed buns. So if you come to Tianjin, I recommend the popular delicacies "Ergu Steamed Buns", "Zhangji Steamed Buns", "Yongsheng Steamed Buns"... ..., a bit off topic, let's get back to the point. I ordered a pound of donkey meat for 80 yuan, stewed meat for 10 yuan, side dishes for 12 yuan, 8 pieces of fire-baked skin, donkey offal soup, wontons... ..., a family of four ate well, and spent a total of only 136 yuan, which is really good value for money. The donkey meat is cut into thin slices on the vegetable chopping board. The donkey meat can be eaten with garlic paste, and the meat, stewed meat, and green pepper are stuffed into the fire. A fragrant donkey meat fire is done. The fire is baked on the spot, and there will be a layer of crispy skin on the outside, which is very crispy when bitten. This is worth recommending! ! Next, let's talk about the history of donkey meat fire. Donkey meat fire is a famous snack popular in North China, originated in Baoding City, Hebei Province. Donkey meat hotpot is divided into two schools, the northern and southern schools, namely the Baoding and Hejian schools. The taste and cooking methods are quite different from donkey meat hotpot. In addition, Zhao County, Hebei, located between Baoding and Hejian, has the strengths of both schools and can be regarded as the third school of donkey hotpot. In addition, Dacheng in Hebei is known for its donkey meat, and "Dacheng donkey meat" is very famous, so donkey meat hotpot is also good. Is the northern school or the southern school better for donkey meat hotpot? Is Taihang donkey better or Bohai donkey better? Is round hotpot better or long hotpot better? Which donkey meat in Hebei is the most delicious? Different people have different opinions. There are similarities and differences, and each has its own merits. This is also the profoundness and inclusiveness of Chinese food culture.
