Mutton-Eaten-with-Hands is a famous local delicacy of the Qinghai grasslands. It is not only a restaurant dish but also the staple food of the herdsmen.
Although the mutton does not need to be cut or fried, this dish still has a special color, fragrance, taste and form.
When you visit the grasslands in the autumn, the hospitable herdsmen will pick a fat sheep for you, kill it in large chunks, and in about half an hour, the lamb will be ready to eat.
With lamb in one hand and a knife in the other, cutting as you eat, you will surely find this tasty dish different from all others.
The pity is that mutton-eaten-with-hands as a restaurant dish has lost much of its original flavor. If you want to taste real mutton-eaten-with-hands you are always welcome to visit a herdsman's home on grasslands.
