What you looking at? I’m chewy, leave me alone.

On a recent trip to Tibet, I come across one of the most unusual burgers to date. A Big Yak Burger. Let me assure you that this will not be a world revelation. The meat is very chewy. In fact, it could double up as meat chewing gum and put Wrigley’s out of business!

In Li Jiang, China (Shangri-la region - think James  Hilton’s book), Banyan Tree; a swanky resort nestled high in the mountains also sells Yak Burgers. Having tried both, neither stand-out as a reason for a trip…

Having tried a Yak burger, I will not be rushing back for seconds. There will be no Yak Attack and no I’m not lovin’ it.

Tibet: Spirituality personified. The Dalai-Lama & co have most things right

but not their burgers.
