However, the yellow throat is also quite that treatment, because there is a layer of difficult to tear the membrane to manually remove, so this thing is a little expensive is also normal. Yellow throat is a common dish in Chongqing hot pot, in the hot pot dishes are generally divided into hair yellow throat and fresh yellow throat, yellow throat is an important feature is crisp.

But in the price above, pig yellow throat to be a little more expensive than cattle yellow throat, as for how much more expensive, that is, pig yellow throat need 22-25 a, cattle yellow throat as long as 18-20 yuan a, as for why not use the sheep yellow throat, is because the taste of sheep yellow throat is really bigger, the length of the pig yellow throat is about 60 to 70 centimeters available, cattle yellow throat is at least available more than 1 meter.

First, the color of yellow throat itself is yellowish, and second, it looks like a trachea (throat), and the yellow throat of a pig is short about 70cm, and the yellow throat of a cow is longer about 10m, and one end is thick and one end is thin.

The utilization of the ingredients in hotpot is to catch the principle of cooking of the ingredients, and the ingredients which are not very good to enter into the dish are made into another flavor, and it is cool to eat. A pig has about 60 to 70 centimeters pig yellow throat can be eaten, cattle volume is relatively larger than the pig, so the cattle available cattle yellow throat at least 1 meter above.
