Shopping for meat and fish in the Chengdu wholesale market
Shopping for meat and fish in the Chengdu wholesale market
1. Different meats are in different areas. The Chinese always place stores in groups. For example, if you wanted to buy a light bulb there would be a group of different light bulb stores side by side. I don't know how they compete with each other. This appears to be the beef area.
2. Choosing the cut of pork.
3. So much meat, so little a stomach.
4. We bought a beef tongue, and ground pork to make hamburgers and meatballs for a spaghetti and meatball meal. I think pork makes tastier hamburgers than beef. I have prepared beef tongue before, and it's one of my favourite dishes, a taste I acquired from my mother's cooking.
5. Then off to the fish market section.
6. An assortment to choose from.
7. Longingly I look at forbidden fruit - seafood raises my uric acid level to the roof and causes gout - which I really don't want to experience again.
8. These things aren't really to my taste.
9. We tried this for a change - it was delicious.
