images on this blog are hosted by
ImageShack®. But their habit of regularly losing pictures has made me move to Photobucket. Imageshack managed to send me two emails in one day. The first apologised for permanently losing some pictures. The second said they had never lost a picture, ever, ever, ever. But they couldn't find the one I was complaining about. Idiots.
Sorry if any pictures are missing. I'll eventually move all of them.

Liuzhou Food revisited
The previous link was to an excellent set of pictures of local dishes (not mine) but is, unfortunately, on MSN Spaces. 99% of the time you reach a page telling you that
I then linked to another site, but it seems be equally unreliable.
So here are two galleries of pictures accompanied by my rather loose translations. Warning! These do include dog dishes. Not food for dogs. Dog meat. If this offends you, read on!
In fairness, dog isn't eaten that often (only in winter), although snails are indeed very popular. So to bring you the full range, I have a new project. I will attempt to take as many pictures of dinner as I can and build up my own database of local food.
Get back to you when it is ready!
Thankyou for the beuatiful and mouth-watering pictures! Having lived in
Guangzhou I am hard to offend, but I think I would pass on the intestines.
The duck jaws look delicious! I know that Ya is duck - does Xiaba simply
mean "jaws", or does it reveal anyting about cooking method, spices or the
like? Again, thankyou for an enjoyable blog!
Xiaba (下巴）means 'lower jaw'.
Hello Louzhou.
I'm a Louzhouer but not living in louzhou. One year ago I have argued with
you about the sense of presenting a "Guancai" as a gift. Do you remenber
that?
It made me sad that your blog was blocked for a long period. I'm
really happy when I finded I can open the web again (your site is always in
my "my favorites").
I really love your essays. They are insightful and humourous.
These pictures make me feel that I am starving.
Go on! Tell us then!
I was told that "Qicun" is rectum. That is the final portion of the
intestine.
Thanks! I've eaten worse.
