Chapter 57: Hand Finger Lamb
The Kazakhs are a minority on horseback, they can sing and dance, they live in pursuit of water and grass, and what is even more strange is that they are also the most frequently moved ethnic group in the world, except for winter, they have to move constantly in other seasons of the year, and the reason why they keep moving and their whereabouts are uncertain is the need for grazing.
For a nomadic people who often move, use the grassland as their bed, and the sky as their bed, it is obviously impossible for people who want to be comparable to other countries in terms of food, and pay attention to delicacy everywhere.
Bayi smiled and said: "You are from China, I know that there are many delicacies in China, and our food here cannot be compared with China, and I don't know if Reporter Zhou can get used to it?"
Zhou Sen smiled, "It's okay, I'm very adaptable, just eat a little as you want, just give me whatever you usually eat, I just want to shoot a show that reflects your usual life conditions." ”
"Reporter Zhou, you are our honored guest, it is rare to come once, you must be well entertained, although our food here is a little rough compared with Chinese food, not up to the top of the refinement, but the Kazakhs are not sloppy about eating, not only varied, but also delicious. ”
Bayi was talking to Zhou Sen, and the whole lamb was roasted, and in order to take care of Zhou Sen, Bayi asked his son to cut off the mutton with a knife.
The aroma wafted in, and the lamb was already roasted.
"Hand-grasped lamb, this dish is our main dish, when a guest comes, we will take out this dish to entertain the guests, reflecting the enthusiasm of the Kazakh people. ”
"This is roasted, roasted out more fragrant, there is another way to fresh mutton just add salt to cook, put on a plate, eat when sliced, accompanied by local purple onion rings, half of the mouth is meaty, half is green onion, both nourish the body, but also greasy, very beautiful. ”
"Mr. Xu is a frequent visitor, he has been coming to Kazakhstan for several years, he can get used to our food here, reporter Zhou, you try it, I specially asked my son to make two different flavors, one is baked, the other is boiled, you try it, see which one you prefer?"
"Okay, thank you!"
Bayi is very enthusiastic and very good to Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen follows the customs, since he wants to grasp it, Zhou Sen took out a napkin and wiped his hands, and then grabbed a piece of roast mutton from the plate and put it in his mouth.
"Well, it's really good, it's really fragrant when grilled!"
"Hahaha...... Seeing that Zhou Sen likes to eat, Bayi was happy, "Reporter Zhou, you can taste this again, this is boiled with salt!"
"Okay, thank you!" Zhou Sen grabbed another piece from another plate and put it in his mouth, unlike the crispy baking, the oil and water boiled out were not so much, but they were still crispy.
"Well, yes, each has its own flavor, it's delicious!"
"You try Bourshak, which is the staple of our Kazakh breakfast, which is made by adding ghee, milk, sugar or honey, baking powder, etc. to the flour, kneading it, rolling it into thin strips, cutting it into diamond shapes or squares several centimeters long, and then putting it in a boiling mutton fat pan and frying it until golden brown. ”
"Well, it's delicious, it's crispy, it's fragrant, I love it!"
"The main types of noodles are naan, baurshak, oil cakes, noodles, Besbalmak, and noodles are cooked together with meat and oil. ”
"Horse ** is the favorite drink of Kazakhs, the main drink in daily life is milk tea, three meals a day are inseparable from milk tea, cream, ghee, milk lumps, milk tofu, crisp cheese, etc., when eating meat, thirsty, with milk tea to drink. ”
"Horse meat is one of the meat that the Kazakh people like to eat, when winter comes, the conditional family slaughters a fat and strong horse, smoked out as winter meat, horse meat, thick silk and very tough, very chewy. ”
"You Chinese rarely eat horse meat, right?"
"Yes, except for the nomads in the north who eat horse meat, people in our cities rarely eat horse meat, because every household has no conditions to raise horses, they are all high-rise buildings, and they are not allowed, we eat pork, chicken, duck, shrimp, and fish more. ”
"I know that you are from the big city, but it is different from us, the weather here is much colder than China, in winter, minus 40 degrees, if you don't eat some meat, increase the calories of the body, you can't bear it!"
"Yes, I know what it feels like to be minus 40 degrees, it's so cold!"
Horse oil has the characteristics of bright yellow color, not easy to solidify, slippery but not greasy, horses are good at running, and horse oil is rich in active and thermal factors.
Kazakh people eat smoked horse meat in winter, it can increase calories for the human body, supplement nutrition, is a good edible medicine for blood circulation. In particular, smoked horse oil has a special effect on lung disease, so the Kazakh people have a saying that "horse meat is a hot medicine, goat meat is a cold breeze", and roast whole sheep is different, smoked horse meat is boiled out to eat, generally boiled over high heat for about 40 minutes, taken out and cut into pieces to eat.
"You Chinese city dwellers can barely even eat horse meat, let alone horse intestines, right?"
"I also have horse intestines for you, you can taste them!"
Horse intestines are poured into the clean horse intestines with horse meat, and then smoked, also called smoked horse intestines, divided into two kinds of meat and minced meat, the pieces of meat are cut into long strips according to the length of the horse ribs and packed into the horse intestines to smoke, especially large, must be cooked in a large pot, and the minced meat is chopped up and packed into the horse intestines smoked.
"Horse intestines are the best delicacy of the Kazakh people, an indispensable special dish in large and small banquets, its taste is better than that of horse meat, and its therapeutic effect is also better than that of horse meat. ”
Zhou Sen smiled, "I really haven't eaten horse intestines, today is the first time I've eaten it!"
Bayi said: "Then eat more, I have enough here, not enough for them to prepare!"
"Thank you!"
Kazakh yogurt is made from fresh milk, which is delicious, rich in vitamins, lactic acid and minerals, very nutritious, and white in color, like white jelly.
Yogurt has the health care effect of helping digestion, dispelling fire and detoxifying, relieving cough, soothing the liver and regulating qi, nourishing blood and beautifying the face, so yogurt is not only a must-have and indispensable drink for the Kazakh people in summer, but also a supplement to supplement nutrition.
Zhou Sen tasted it and felt that the taste was different from the yogurt sold in Chinese supermarkets, with less taste of food additives, and the yogurt made by the Kazakhs was more natural, and the taste was not as sweet as the yogurt sold in Chinese supermarkets, so delicious, and even more sour, but there was no need to worry about any food additives, which were harmless to the human body.
