The Sichuan Hotpot
We arrived in Sichuan's Capital "Chengdu", after a 38 hour train ride. It wasn't too bad, I learnt a lot about whales, having a copy of Moby Dick to peruse. We were each on the top bunk of a hard sleeper; Lemon was particularly happy about having nought to do but sleep for two nights and a day.
We arrived and checked into a beauty Qing/Ming Dynasty building now converted to a youth hostel. And out to try the local cuisine, Sichuan Hotpot.
Now, I pride myself on my love of spicy food, but here this: Ye Indians Turks and Thais, ye spice lovers, chili munchers, mustard and wasabe guzzlers - taste of the Sichuan Hotpot before ever ye wax proud about the heat of ye food!

Well just for a change it's pissing with rain in Wellington. Have not put nose out door as it is so wet and windy. I look forward to trying the hotpot sometime - get the recipe. B
