I still remember when I was a child, anyone who sold mutton kebabs would be labeled with the word "Xinjiang", which represented the purity of their "bloodline" and the authenticity of their craftsmanship. Although many kebabs are obviously opened by local people, those with the word Xinjiang always make people feel inexplicably practical and always feel that this family is the most authentic. However, in recent years, with the rise of the barbecue industry, it is found that those vendors selling mutton skewers no longer hang the word Xinjiang, and mutton skewers gradually get rid of the shadow of Xinjiang and form their own characteristics. So in these years, what made these mutton kebabs no longer occupy the first position in Xinjiang? In fact, everyone who has been to Xinjiang knows what is going on!

Once a colleague traveled to Xinjiang and went to the local Houman Street to find Xinjiang mutton kebabs. But I didn't find any! So I asked the local people, where is the Xinjiang mutton kebab? Who knows that the locals say that there is no mutton kebab in Xinjiang, and Xinjiang is called barbecue! I see! After I walked in, I found that the barbecue here was nothing more than a kebab, but it was several sizes bigger than the kebab I had seen before. Either made of red willow branches or thick stainless steel sticks. In short, each one looks very shocking. Recalling the mutton skewers I have eaten before, it is like a joke in front of Xinjiang barbecue!

The mutton used for barbecue in Xinjiang is really tender and has no fishy smell at all. It is said that the sheep here eat grassland pasture and drink snow water from Tianshan Mountain. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large. To keep out the cold, sheep have a thick layer of fat. After peeling off their fur, they can see a shiny layer.

Although this kind of mutton fiber is thick, when it is used for roasting, its own oil infiltrates into the mutton itself and tastes very fresh and tender. Moreover, it has no fishy smell, and there is no need to add various seasonings to cover up the taste. What you eat is its original flavor. Therefore, when Xinjiang kebabs are usually roasted, it is enough to add salt, cumin and Chili noodles. If you add other ingredients, it will cover up the delicious mutton itself, but it will be self-defeating!

So after seeing the authentic Xinjiang barbecue, I realized how authentic those foreign mutton kebabs named "Xinjiang" are. With the development of the Internet and many netizens traveling to Xinjiang, more and more people know what the authentic barbecue in Xinjiang is like.

At the beginning, those mutton skewers named after Xinjiang mutton skewers were finally forced to go offline. Therefore, it's not that Xinjiang kebabs are not famous, but as more and more people know their own strength, they are no longer allowed to pretend to be Xinjiang kebabs. Let's go back to the original appearance and give it a more real name!
