Deer-dog skewers are snacks with dog meat skewers and venison skewers as the main raw materials, and they are a special food in the northeast of China. So, what does the deer-dog string look like? Below we will elaborate from several aspects.

The appearance and morphology of the deer and dog strings are similar to other strings, but they are different in the contents of the strings. Dog meat skewers and venison skewers are the main raw materials of deer dog skewers, in addition to some side dishes, such as bean skin, tofu, vermicelli and so on. String strings are arranged on string poles, with uniform size and bright color. The appearance of dog meat skewers and venison skewers are also different: the dog meat skewers are larger, with a thickness of 2-3 cm, while the venison skewers are bright red and small.

Deer and dogs are placed in the bowl in strings. Because the strings are placed on the side, it seems that there are many secrets hidden in the bowl, which is very attractive.

2. Taste characteristics

The taste of dog meat skewers and venison skewers are also different: the meat of dog meat skewers is crisp and tender, with a little toughness, while the meat of venison skewers is more tender.

3, production process

The production process of deer and dog skewers is relatively complicated, and all links must be mastered before authentic deer and dog skewers can be produced. First, cut dog meat and venison into small pieces, marinate them for a while, and then string them together for charcoal roasting. Bean skin, tofu and other side dishes should be cooked in advance. Finally, the grilled dog meat skewers, venison skewers, bean skin, tofu and other side dishes are put into a bowl, and the ingredients such as Chili oil and sesame sauce are poured on it, which is delicious.

4. Historical origin

However, from the geographical location and the dietary religious taboos of the Han nationality, it can be inferred that its origin is probably in Liaoning, Jilin and other three northeastern provinces. Legend has it that in an ancient aristocratic family in Northeast China, there were pet deer and pet dogs. The nobles couldn't bear to kill their pets, so they cut their meat into pieces and grilled it at home, and then gradually formed a special food.

In a word, the deer-dog skewer is a traditional northeast snack with a long history, excellent production and unique taste, and it is worthy of being one of the special delicacies in Northeast China. Nowadays, it is no longer just a local snack, but also recognized and sought after by people all over the world, and has become a part of Chinese food culture.
