Overview

Uncle Aisanjiang in Yili is good at roasting lamb. In addition to lamb and lamb chops, his hidden roasted specialties, such as "saipi" and tender roasted milk foam, are unclear to even the locals. Roasted "pork head" (pork head) in Lishui, Zhejiang, is already considered a normal food, but the pig gums, pig nose tendons, and pig eyeballs that reappear after pig head segmentation start to challenge diners again. The roasted small intestine in Anshun, Guizhou, not only arouses the appetite of offal lovers, but also soothes everyone's tense nerves. In Lijiang, Yunnan, there is a group of noble chickens in Lao Hong's house, which are obviously not ordinary. Lao Hong considers them as "comrades-in-arms," and even won first prize in a cockfighting competition in Lincang thanks to them. However, the 200-meter away barbecue shop is their final destination, and it also makes Lao Hong's most highly praised roasted dish - roasted chicken feet.
