In Kangding I was treated to a hotpot restaurant by some of my wife's colleagues and it was delicious. I remember feeling a big queasy about duck intestine and yak stomach but when I ate it all I could feel was the unusual texture and the kick of the red, red (did I mention red?) spicy sichuan sauce it was in.
Ah, I've eaten all kinds of stuff at chinese restaurants in hk / beijing before.. but preferred not to ask what was in there. Chicken feet was the only thing I could recognize.
The most surreal part was being asked if I had eaten stomach before; I said I had - I had recently eaten haggis. I was asked to describe it.. and when I did they looked visibly ill and said "That's disgusting!"
You made a chinese guy look ill? That's a first.
