What do you mean by "sheep don't expect ginger (sheep don't expect it) and cows don't want leeks"? Does this make sense?
The whole story is: pigs are not pepper, sheep are not extravagant (ginger, star anise), cattle are not leek, and fish are not garlic. Since ancient times, China people pay attention to the harmony of five flavors, the complementarity of yin and yang, impartiality and no fault-finding. These proverbs are accumulated by the experience of the older generation. On the one hand, they ensure the better taste of ingredients, on the other hand, they reduce the adverse effects of food on people's health.

A pig without pepper

"Pigs don't put peppers" means that we can't put peppers in stew, especially when the older generation of northern chefs stew.

First, because pepper is heavy, it is easy to cover up and take away the rich flavor of pork itself; In addition, putting pepper when stewing pork will turn lean meat into firewood, which will greatly reduce the taste of pork and taste like chewing wax; Zanthoxylum bungeanum hanging on pork is difficult to remove. For some people who don't like Zanthoxylum bungeanum, it indirectly affects the beauty of dishes and appetite. However, some southern dishes, such as boiled pork slices, have different practices in pursuit of spicy taste. There is not much direct reaction between pork and pepper, so a lot of pepper will be put in this dish to improve the taste! Therefore, pork without pepper mainly means that pork is stewed without pepper!

The sheep didn't expect that the sheep had no ginger.

"Sheep unexpectedly means that when cooking mutton, you can't enlarge the material. This star anise is star anise. In general cooking, adding star anise can remove the fishy smell and improve the freshness and taste. When cooking mutton, you can't add too much spices, especially star anise, which will cover up the original flavor of mutton, and the color of cooked mutton soup will become dark, which will affect the texture. Sheep don't want ginger, saying mutton can't be eaten with ginger. Because mutton and ginger have the function of dispelling cold and warming up, they are both hot foods, and most people can't stand it and get angry easily! I remember once before, after eating instant-boiled mutton and drinking some ginger juice brown sugar, I immediately began to have a nosebleed!

In addition, mutton is recognized as a "hair product". If you have liver disease or high blood pressure and hyperactivity of liver yang, you'd better eat less. In addition, ginger has a pungent taste. If mutton stuffing is mixed in the stuffing, it will take away the umami flavor of mutton. Moreover, the mutton flavor and the pungent taste of ginger will give off an unpleasant smell if they are made into dumpling stuffing. Personally, I think the best ingredients for mutton are fish, fish and mutton. In my hometown, mutton is rarely cooked alone, and fish and mutton are stewed soup. The soup is delicious, which perfectly explains the word fresh!

Niubujiu

Don't eat leek beef. Leek is pungent and warm, which has the effect of warming the middle and helping yang. Beef also has the effect of benefiting qi and strengthening yang. If beef and leek are eaten together, the tonic effect is too strong, which will generally lead to the rise of virtual fire, leading to symptoms such as swelling and pain of gums. In addition, the leek contains oxalic acid, which will make the beef special and will not rot, affecting the taste of beef. Moreover, if beef and leek are cooked together or fried together, they often give off a very unpleasant smell. So the leek beef tastes terrible and stinks! Compared with beef, several vegetables not only taste good, but also have high nutritional value: beef+celery: beef nourishes the spleen and stomach, nourishes and strengthens the body, and has high nutritional value. Celery can clear away heat, promote diuresis and lower blood pressure. Beef+white radish+onion: white radish is rich in vitamins and has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, strengthening stomach and strengthening spleen; Onions have the functions of expelling wind and sweating, promoting digestion, treating colds, sterilizing and hypnotizing.

Fish is not garlic.

Garlic-free fish mainly means that when making wild fresh fish, don't put garlic to destroy the delicious flavor of wild fish itself. However, most of the fish people eat now are farmed and have a strong fishy smell, so garlic should be put to remove the fishy smell when cooking fish. Therefore, fish should be cooked without garlic according to the specific situation. If the fish itself is fresh and wild, and the fishy smell is weak, then it is very simple to make, and it is not necessary to add garlic, a relatively tasteless seasoning, to maintain the natural taste of the ingredients.

Of course, pigs don't have pepper, sheep don't have luxury (ginger), cows don't have leeks, and fish don't have garlic. But the situation is different and the treatment methods need to be changed accordingly. We can't copy mechanically, and we can't stick to this sentence too much.
