Lake Sheep Meat
Lake sheep are raised in the areas around Taihu Lake and its neighboring regions. Originating from the Mongolian sheep of northern China, they were brought to the Taihu area by northern migrants during the Southern Song Dynasty and have been bred there ever since. Lake sheep are a breed of lamb, characterized by their small size. The meat is rich but not greasy, tender and delicious—perfect for hot pot. Among the more distinctive local dishes are Huzhou-style sliced lamb and sweetened sheep tail.
