"Boss! Let's get a handful of tendons! It is a common phrase for ordering food at an authentic barbecue restaurant in the northwest. The starting point of the ten skewers of Xinliang barbecue, lamb skewers, beef skewers, grilled tendons, roast kidneys, and other barbecues with large quantities and low unit prices generally do not need to be ordered, and the waiter will ask and distribute the batch of grilled meat skewers from table to table, and finally sign the payment. There is no exact number for the so-called "handful" concept, and the waiter estimates the number of meat skewers according to the number of people per table, and the amount of portions is basically just right.
In addition to beef, lamb is also a major feature of Northwest barbecue. The mutton sold in the Xi'an market is mainly Ningxia Yanchitan sheep and northern Shaanxi Hengshan goat, both of which have good meat quality and low taste, and are unique high-quality mutton varieties in Northwest China. The new lamb skewers are freshly cut, skewered, and grilled every day, and the lamb is fresh, and it is marinated in advance, so it adds more flavor. Three fat and two lean is the best way to wear mutton skewers, so the grilled mutton, the fat meat juice overflows, neutralizes the lean meat firewood, and at the same time increases the meat aroma, and it will have a tender and juicy taste. In addition, as a seasoning for kebabs, the role of cumin is particularly important. Xinliangjia's cumin is half-crushed, which is the best state of cumin as the most barbecue accessories, because it is easy to be bitter if it is too powdered, and the fragrance of complete cumin is difficult to embarras. Seasoning mutton with cumin can remove the fishiness and relieve greasyness, increase the aroma of the meat, and promote people's appetite.
Xinliang barbecue is a halal restaurant and is not allowed to drink. Rather than barbecue with beer, Xi'an diners prefer Bingfeng. Bingfeng is a local orange-flavored carbonated drink in Xi'an, Bingfeng beverage has existed since 1953, the packaging remains the same, the capacity remains the same, the taste remains the same, in the streets and alleys of Xi'an, restaurants, shops, Bingfeng is everywhere. Bingfeng Beverage has a simple appearance and no outstanding taste, but it occupies 80% of the market share of Xi'an's beverage market, and even Coca-Cola cannot replace Bingfeng's position in Xi'an. In the palate of Xi'an diners, Bingfeng with barbecue is excellent, and only drinking it will be particularly greasy and refreshing.
