a veritable feast for the senses and the tongue

Using all parts of the yak

Oysters served two ways, Qingdao

How soon is too soon to go back to the same noodle restaurant? Like…three hours? Four?

the humble sweet potato. I guess this isn’t really about the aesthetic and more about offering a small measure of thanks to the food that has never let me down

What a meal. Salted pork, vinegar potatoes, green things I don’t eat.

My butthole hurts just by looking at this
Anyone have any idea what kind of dumplings these are? Because I do not :)

my newest insult

Barbecued eggplant in Jianshui. I’ve heard good things.
This is a bizarre memory. Went on a bike ride with a Hunan friend and an American friend who’d come to visit, and my Chinese friend suggested we stop at this roadside place for lunch. Long story short, we were offered seven different preparations of fish over the course of two hours and those peanuts went by FAST.

I hear the food here is just out of this world

We don’t just do food pictures here, we also take the time to appreciate the vessels in which they come to us. I present, a laborer’s lunch.

Mountain girl comes down to steam a whole chicken just for me! And four of my closest friends.
