Bread filled with spicy meat and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Baked on the side of an oven on the street. My favorite street food so far in China!

Some pretty awesome spiced and stewed meat in a tomatoey sauce over handmade fries. This was the only good thing at this random crappy restaurant I stopped at in Sevilla, Spain. It was much better than their paella (I know when you’re using yellow food coloring instead of saffron, sirs!)

My stepbrother, who is a professional meat and cheese connoisseur, gave me five different types of cured Spanish jamón as a graduation present (he clearly knows me really well!). After consuming the entire package of this perfection, I decided to google it. I discovered that it’s one of the most expensive meats in the world ($87/lbs) – and I was not surprised. Easily one of the most amazing things I’ve ever eaten.
Why is it so expensive? Well, according to this site,the pigs are raised free-range in western Spain, where they eat acorns, wild mushrooms, herbs, and grasses, yielding meat that’s richly flavored and low in saturated fat. The ham is then cured for a minimum of two years before reaching the market.

Still cooking
Almost done!
The Sapporo Beer Garden in Sapporo, Japan has several restaurants offering this dish that the Japanese find so ridiculous that they named it after Genghis Khan. What is it? Just lots of meat that you cook yourself. Basically a Mongolian Barbeque. As an American, I think it’s funny that the amount of meat they serve is considered ridiculous. (There was a little more than can be seen in this photo, but not much.) I like my meat, damnit! Ridiculous, indeed.
It was pretty damn good though, that’s worth mentioning.

That succulent meat will be shaved down, grilled, and thrown into a sandwich with whatever you want – pickles, tahini, hummus, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. I want some right now. Jerusalem, Israel.

I’m a hardcore carnivore, so this makes me salivate more than Pavlov’s dogs. This cradle of meaty goodness was found in Tai’an, China.
