In Taiwan, if you see &#8220;y\u00e1ng&#8221; on the local restaurant menu, usually it is the goat, not sheep. I am not a goat or lamb lover. But I like one thing called Yangrouchuan. It is a snack, that originated in Xinjiang (an autonomous region in northwest China), sees bite-sized pieces of meat (nestled between pieces of fat) coated with salt, plenty of cumin seeds, and pepper powder, before being placed on a charcoal grill to cook. It is super yummy!!! You should try it if you have a chance to visit Taiwan or China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center
