The food responsibility of donkey meat industry is none other than the burning of donkey meat. It not only makes donkey meat famous in the food industry, but also supports Hebei cuisine with almost no sense of existence.

However, it is obvious that people in Hebei are not the only ones who love donkey meat. There are 100 cooking methods to choose from before the donkey goes to the table.

Only China people like to eat donkey meat.

Not long ago, I met several merchants selling fresh donkey meat in a market in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

The bright red donkey meat is divided into different parts, spread on the flatbed, and a donkey's head is placed in the most conspicuous position to prove that it is a "real donkey meat". The picture looks really cute.

However, it can also show that people in China like to eat donkey meat. Donkey meat is not a common kind of meat, but in China, many provinces have their own representative donkey meat food except Hebei.

Because in the Bible, Mary escaped persecution by riding a donkey when she was pregnant and gave birth to Jesus. It is also recorded that Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, and the crowd waved palm branches and cheered him as "the king of the Jews". Therefore, Europeans are unlikely to eat donkey meat.

However, in China, without such religious and cultural constraints, China people ate donkey meat very early. There are records of eating donkey meat in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, but most of the time it is exclusive to the upper class. After the Qing Dynasty, more people kept donkeys, and donkey meat gradually became the diet of ordinary people, especially in North China.

From a nutritional point of view, donkey meat is not bad.
