When I was in California, I had tasted intestines for the first time ever and I thoroughly enjoyed them very much. I normally can not take spicy foods but this one was so delicious I kept going back for more bites as my mouth was burning up and I sipped water every few seconds. The taste was truly real and is brought all the way from the Szechaun region of China.

This dish is spicy pork and beef intestines with Sichuan peppercorns, toasted sesame, and chili. Delicious spiciness. It was full of texture and flavor. The intestines were fried well with a nice crunch. Its crispy deep-fried exterior went well with a crunch to the meltingly pork inside. The flavor is quite delicate but also had heat to spice it up. Together with the sauce and chilis, it becomes sort of a gelatinous all combined, which many Chinese people like.

These days, real food does not taste like real food as it is said to be. It is unlikely to taste real Chinese food such as soup dumplings from Shanghai or ma po tofu. These tastes are just too accustomed to American people’s likings.
