1. Dali rawhide

Dali rawhide is a unique local delicacy made from pig skin. It is also one of Dali’s traditional dishes. The selection and production of raw hides are very particular about the methods. Good raw hides are made from the pig’s hind legs, tenderloin, and waist. Roast the pig skin until it turns yellow, wash it, and eat it raw with seasonings. The raw skin can be eaten directly with seasonings, or it can be mixed with other raw meat. It has a delicate taste, without any fishy smell, and is spicy and fragrant.
