Amazing food is one of the great pleasures of traveling in China. This weekend I crossed 3 of the 8 great food regions (Guandong, Anhui and Hunan). Anyone used to the American version of chinese food gets to explore additional varieties. There are no chop suey, egg rolls or fortune cookies on the Mainland. They never heard of it. Today I experienced Hunan food in Changsha, the Hunan capital. Spices remind me of Sichuan food which I particularly like. From a Paleo perspective they have no problem here serving your food without rice and only veggies. A short layover took me to the largest Chinese restaurant in the world that employs over 1000 staff and can seat 5000. Now that’s one to remember. And after 2 days if extreme hiking, I decided to give my legs and body a rest.
