Back in Chengdu... a quick morning breakfast at....
Porridge with... a chunk of rotten egg (it's supposed to be in there)
Sweet bread (just like a doughnut)
Just an egg
Egg and sausage samwich
Hashbrown sticks
A bakery on the corner near my hotel was a great place for me to get some lunch each day.
This pizza-like thing is filled with a layer of pork floss (shredded dried pork), and then topped with a sweet glaze.
This bun was topped with onions, ham and cheese and a sweet glaze.

A delicious beef rice bowl. I didn't know at the time but those strips of meat are cow stomach... I didn't mind... cut as strips is not as gross as logn sheets of it. There's also a brown egg... I didn't eat that.
The Coca-Cola Company has almost all of its products in China.
Can't resist trying the fried corn every chance I get.
Ultra-spicy beef and peppers. This is when I learned, after struggling to eat this dish, I'm really not supposed to eat the read chilies.
Pork soup. that veggie is kind of like a melon.
Chicken and chilli paste. It's tough to get chicken that isn't hacked with the bone in.
Beef noodles
Tiramisu from hagen daz

More food of Chengdu (a lot of the restaurants had bad lighting and often I didn't bring my SLR. My pocket Canon is horrible at white balance).
Fried green beans. A favorite from previous years.
Spicy Beef, peppers, and onions. This was amazing, but the sichuan peppercorns numbed my mouth for about an hour after.
Pork and veggies. Another favorite from last year. Delicious.
Pork and peppers.
Tried some traditional Chengdu clay pot food.
Black chicken... a lot of bones.
Spicy beef stew. Excellent.
Rice, sweet potatoes, pickles
Duck soup on the lower left.

Another traditional Chengdu meal: Cold Pot....
Served cold, a huge pot of oil... which I witness being reused... and sure has been reused for days... is stuffed with skewers of cold meats, veggies and seafood. I wasn't a huge fan of this at all and just assumed I would get sick from it. I didn't. The noodles and dumplings saved the meal for me.
Some melon juice (I had this before)
A dessert... Some rice gel in a sweet sauce
Cold noodles with minced pork.... There's spicy chili sauce under the noodles. Actually very good.
Dumplings.... these had a wrapping very much like ravioli. Pork filling. Chili sauce underneath. These were outstanding.

So, what were the insects? Grasshoppers?
I'd love to learn how to make that corn. You're right, it would be a huge hit over here.
Most of the food looks really good.
