On our way to Muntianyu she grabs my arms says pull over back up, she saw a place she wanted to eat lunch at.. good call..
This is a salad of peppercorns before they are dried.. just some chilis, garlic and vinegar.. outstanding..
Might as well share the rest of the lunch..
Fried rose blossom
Some sort of corn fritter... like a pastele
grilled fish pulled from the pen in the stream behind the restaurant.

We were in Xian and Szechuan as part of our tour last year, The smell of pepper or what ever that smell is from the hot chilies, it can be picked up with my not too sensitive nose a couple block away when they make those things in a big batch. I can only handle it for a few meals, after that, it becomes too much. Now, on a cool day like today, I love me some of that hot pots.
