Bad form to cite yourself, but really, it's Nadeshiko who makes this work-

"I have seen it wrapped in the flatbread and eaten whole, a bit like a dumpling made on the spot. Alternately, it's a bit like the kebabs we make with chicken in the Scorpion provinces- you just pick up a skewer and nibble it off."
Oh, if only Sriyani were here! Then she could have reassurance! Well, Nadeshiko's braver than she looks, and she's no child. She moves back to the buffet and hovers a good, long moment before finally using chopsticks to pick up a single slice of beef and place it delicately on a piece of flatbread. Awkwardly she wraps it together before plating it. The first step done, she steps back to stare at the thing. The flatbread, at least, could dull the meat's texture or taste, should it be offensive -- the last hurdle is the thought of eating an ox, of all things. It... does not seem an appetizing animal.
Well.
The Doji sweeps away such thoughts from her mind and settles in the void left behind as she has so many times before and will so many times again. Don't think, just do.
And with that she picks it up and takes a bite.
"It's chewy,"
Is her first reaction... out loud. Her cheeks flush.
Escándalo!
