Food & Comfort

Applewood smoked bacon + Alder wood smoked salt + deep milk chocolate, 41% cacao = Bacon-Flavored Chocolate , something I would like to try. . .


It should be more pleasurable than Sichuan meat dumpling (粽子). My first and only bite of it was so drastic that I could still remember the sweet meaty experience in my mouth. Other than our local 肉干, I was not expecting a sweet taste from meat … Prof. Qiu, on the other hand, certainly did not look forward to seeing my purpled-face reaction to his favorite hometown delight. Although, we did took a long time to get used to our differences, we had more joy and laughter in the process…

According to student XL, chocolate will help comfort my stomach. Chocolate may not be able to help me much, but XL's words definitely did.
