1. Avoid eating with tea

Tea is the "nemesis" of mutton. This is because mutton is rich in protein, and tea contains more tannic acid. Drinking tea when eating mutton will produce tannic acid protein, which will weaken intestinal peristalsis and reduce stool moisture, thus inducing constipation.

2. It is not advisable to eat it with vinegar

The sour vinegar has an astringent effect and is not conducive to the growth of yang energy in the body. Eating it with mutton will greatly reduce its warming and tonic effect.

3. Avoid eating it with watermelon

Eating watermelon after eating mutton will easily "damage your vitality". This is because mutton is sweet and hot in nature, while watermelon is cold in nature and is a raw and cold product. After eating, it not only greatly reduces the warming effect of mutton, but also hinders the spleen and stomach.

4. It is not advisable to eat mutton with pumpkin

There are also records in ancient Chinese medicine books that mutton should not be eaten with pumpkin. This is mainly because mutton and pumpkin are both warm foods. If they are eaten together, they will easily get burned. For the same reason, when cooking mutton, you should also use less hot and spicy condiments such as chili, pepper, ginger, cloves, and fennel.
