Some counties and cities near western Guangdong in Guangxi have always had the habit of eating dog meat, such as Yulin, Lingchuan, Liuzhou and Hepu Ganjiang. Yulin also held the "Dog Meat Festival". This time we ate a plate of dog meat in Yangshuo, Guilin. The tour guide driver who accompanied us said that there were quite a lot of dog meat stalls in Guilin when he was a child. Later, I don't know if it is because there are more kinds of diets or more "dog lovers". There is little dog meat now.
This dry pot of dog meat in 88 yuan is a catty, which may be a little more expensive, because it is eaten in a tourist attraction. This method has a strong flavor-stir-fry the dog meat with skin in the oil pan, add seasoning and side dishes, and dry the juice to make it taste good. When serving, there is an alcohol stove under the dry pot to heat and keep warm.
Dry pot dog meat tastes spicy and delicious, especially suitable for delivering meals. This practice is a characteristic of Guangxi, with a strong Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan style. Actually, there are many ways to eat dog meat in Guangxi. The practice of dry pot is found in Guilin, Liuzhou, Yulin and other places, and it is fried with skin or braised raw, which has a heavy taste. It can be said that Guangxi basically relies on southern cities to eat boiled vegetables, most of which speak vernacular, while central Guangxi and northwest Guangxi like spicy food. Some netizens said that the best dog meat in Guilin is Lingchuan dog meat. Lingchuan dog meat is also braised. Adding tofu milk, one of the three treasures in Guilin, is quite fragrant.
Different people have different opinions about which way to eat dog meat is delicious. In fact, it's not just Cantonese (or people who speak vernacular Chinese) who like to eat white cuts. The mainstream in Northeast China eats dog meat and cold sauce dogs, which is similar to that in South China. Jiangxi and Zhejiang also have ways to cut dog meat for nothing. But I think Zhanjiang white-cut dog is the most authentic in terms of authenticity. Most of them are pickled in the north, or the sauce has a strong flavor. In short, the taste is heavy.
But some people are not used to the taste of white cut, and feel that there is a fishy smell. They still like to eat braised (stewed), stir-fried (dry pot), crispy skin and so on. When eating, the dog meat is rolled in the mouth with the smell of seasoning, and it feels cool. Dog meat that is not cut in white is not so good to cook, because the dog skin is difficult to handle, and the skin should be chewed, but the meat should not be rotten, and this kind of cooking is not easy to master. In some places, when dog meat is almost eaten, add a spoonful of original soup to stir-fry side dishes, or add a spoonful of oil to beat a few eggs, which is so enjoyable.
Huajiang dog meat in Guizhou is also very famous, and it is called "Guizhou Three Musts" in the form of clear soup and hot pot. The dog meat is cut very thin, and the entrance is very fragrant and tender. Stew dog meat with special technology and cut it into thin slices. In the soup pot is a special dog broth, next to which are dipping materials made of dozens of seasonings. When eating, put the originally cooked dog meat into the boiling dog broth, then melt it with the dog broth and eat it while dipping. Spicy, hemp and fragrant. Clear soup dog meat, boiled dog meat and stewed dog meat are all similar practices.
Regarding the price, a netizen said: "Braised dog meat 38-70 is sold, food stalls in rural areas are cheaper, and shops in the city are more expensive. The braised dog meat I recently ate from the first brittle dog in Yulin was only one catty in 40 yuan, but I want to eat one catty in 50 yuan at the food stall here in the old health school in Wanhua community. There are also 60 s and 70 s, which I have never been to. I usually go to Xikou market to buy raw dog meat for my friends to help me process. His braised dog meat is delicious. " This price is similar to that of the whole country, and it may be cheaper in the north.
As a Cantonese, I prefer the boiled dog meat in Zhanjiang, which is a typical series of boiled dog dishes in Zhanjiang. The washed dog is boiled in a big pot, and then cut into pieces, with the core and the necessary secret dipping sauce, in order to truly taste the meat taste of dog meat.
Although the eating habit of eating dog meat has been in China for two or three thousand years, in recent years, there are more and more voices against eating dog meat, and young people eat less and less dog meat. Most people like to eat after 60, 70 and 80. First, there are too many foods that can replace dog meat. Second, because there are too many opposing voices, they are too lazy to get into trouble; Third, because the source of some dogs is really unclear. But as far as I know, most of the dog meat here in Zhanjiang comes from the meat dog farm, and the stolen dogs are a few, which are not fat enough and have a bad taste.
Generally speaking, there are many people who love dog meat all over the country, and their cooking methods are different, each with its own local characteristics. Which do you prefer, dry pot, white cut pot or soup pot? Tell me about your experience.
