Hey Stil--reply #2, second photo--what is that? Some kind of fruit or melon hung out to dry? I've seen it around here the last few weeks too.

It's a kind of white carrot that they dry and pickle in a spicy brine out here. It's called 胡萝卜 húluóbo.

Ah, that stuff! Perhaps I know it as luobo gan then. Often to be consumed with la rou, the Chinese bacon that isn't bacon and only good if not too salty though it frequently is.
I am, sadly, reminded of the best la rou I ever had, made by a Jiangxi couple who had a literally tiny restaurant in a hole in the wall in Wenzhou. They cured their own meat and instead of being out and out saltlick like most la rou seems to be, this one had a sweetness as well. Very tasty. I never met the like again.

These are out-takes from the movie "Brizil", aren't they? |

胡萝卜 It's like a very large radish more than a carrot, IMHO.

Yeah, I agree old34 but they call it a carrot. 红萝卜 hóngluóbó seems to mean carrot or radish around here too.

My husband calls the white ones 白萝卜, which I guess means radish or turnip. He's pickling some now and they smell awful when they're pickling!

Amazing stuff, Cal, and again greatly appreciated. Why aren't ALL you wankers posting photos? You're in CHINA. Not exactly a lack of stuff to photograph out there...   |
