Yanchi Tan sheep = China's most delicious mutton! Sheep raised on Chinese herbs (licorice/bitter bean) and mineral water, with absolutely no gamy smell! Must-eat: hand-grabbed mutton (boiled plain and dipped in salt is delicious enough—absolute confidence in the quality of the mutton), roast whole sheep, sheep offal, mutton saozi noodles, braised snacks. "Ningxia mutton is not gamy" is not marketing—it really is not gamy. Spice level: not spicy.
