It is rumored that Genghis Khan's expeditionary force will put beef under his ass. In fact, this is just a misunderstanding.

In a very popular food book, it is said that Europeans eat ground beef because of the influence of Genghis Khan's expeditionary force. In fact, this has no scientific basis, but it is just a misunderstanding, but the military food of Genghis Khan's expeditionary force is indeed related to beef.

Genghis Khan's expeditionary force used beef jerky as its main military food. Dried beef is specially treated beef, which has been completely air-dried and has no moisture, so it is easier to preserve, unlike beef, which will go bad if it is not refrigerated. It is said that when Genghis Khan led his men to fight bravely in Shacheng, he would prepare a lot of beef jerky as military food before leaving. Not only is beef jerky convenient to store, it also has some other advantages. Soldiers' anti-Japanese war is very hard, and they need enough physical strength, and beef jerky is rich in protein and various minerals and amino acids needed by the human body, which can ensure the physical strength of soldiers. Furthermore, making beef into small pieces of beef jerky is also convenient for everyone to carry. After all, it is best to go into battle lightly, and the less things, the better.

Combining the advantages of beef jerky, Genghis Khan's expeditionary force chose beef jerky as military food. However, the beef jerky is easy to be broken after a war. Anyway, it is the same if it is broken, so the soldiers simply take out the broken beef jerky and eat it. When others see it, they think they are eating broken beef. Therefore, over time, there is such a rumor that Genghis Khan's expeditionary force put beef under his ass and turned it into minced meat, which is thought to be a different kind of food. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that how can people who ride horses and fight put things under their buttocks? In that case, what a dangerous thing it would be. People at once are likely to fall off their horses.

Because of this rumor, a dish called beef tartar became popular in France and became popular in Europe and Asia.
