Boldness be my friend

[desperance]

So when we were in London for New Year (I am become very American; I almost said New Year's), we went to Chinatown for supper (after The Artist, which we highly recommend). And I was too shy to ask for the proper menu, but fjm was not, on my behalf: so I ate fragrant & hot pig's intestines, and very nice they were too.

And today I came home from the market with chitterlings and determination, and now I am going downstairs to recreate the dish. Chillies and Szechuan pepper, largely. I'll let you know.
