My hosts are understandably very worried about my pallid English palate but I felt that I was carrying the pride of Britain on my shoulders and it was not only my pleasure but my duty to eat anything and everything that was put in front of me. I am there for six days and I need to eat so am whisked off to all sorts of interesting restaurants. One of the great privileges of going off to odd parts of the globe is enjoying the hospitality and discovering places and things that, was I on my own, I would never discover. This is a brief run through the highlights… Everything is steeped in chilli or, at the very least the numbing punch of Szechuan pepper. You can eat different things in different places for months without repetition although there is one really strong thread that unites all this together and that is heat. This is the capital of the Sichuan region and a place that sets great store by its gastronomy. Blogs may not carry the same heft as they used to but they are still an excellent excuse for procrastination.Īnybody who has read my last blog (or follows me on social meeja) will know that I was in China recently swanning around a place called Chengdu. I said that I would write another blog about food and this seems like an excellent moment- in other words it is a moment when I really should be doing things of much greater importance.
