Tangqi Fine-Sand Lamb Tails

　　Fine-Sand Lamb Tails:

　　When outsiders hear the name “Fine-Sand Lamb Tails,” they often assume it’s really roasted lamb tails. In fact, Fine-Sand Lamb Tails have nothing to do with actual lamb tails at all. It is a sweet dessert named for its resemblance in shape to a lamb’s tail. In the past, this dish was an indispensable delicacy at banquets in Tangqi.

　　Fine-Sand Lamb Tails are primarily made with pork lard and red bean paste. After being deep-fried, they have a crispy exterior and a soft, glutinous interior, sweet but not greasy. Their appearance closely resembles that of a Hu sheep’s tail, hence the name “Fine-Sand Lamb Tails.”
