Most ethnic settlements you visit in Guizhou are more or less touristified. Entrance to some is ticketed, there are restaurants, shops and ethnic shows. It doesn’t always deprive them of authenticity, but it certainly doesn’t add to it either. Here, in this remote village, life is unspoiled. The stilt wooden houses silently await their dwellers to come back from the fields, bedsheeds dry in the air, corn cobs rest on balconies.

Bameng village 八蒙村 is part of the Xinghua Shui Ethnic Township 兴华水族乡, which is actually located not in Sandu County (Sui people's autonomous county), but just behind the border in the neighboring Rongjiang County 榕江县.

Cauliflower fungus! (Sparassis crispa). Found and photographed in Poland. Does it also grow in your country?

The cauliflower fungus has many names in Polish, including kozia broda (literally ‘goat beard’), szmaciak (‘rag’ or ‘raggy’ mushroom) or siedzuń (probably from ‘siedzieć’ – ‘to sit’). All these monikers embody its looks: it’s like a cauliflower or a ragged cloth ‘sitting’ in the forest litter. I would also add a comparison to lettuce or sponge.

In Poland, it is dried, fried while fresh or pickled. The young fungus is appreciated for its nutty zing. When old, it gets tough and loses flavor. It can grow to really considerable sizes: up to 1m in diameter and above 10 kg! We found just small-to-medium ones – swipe to see photos from both forest and kitchen.

The species was considered endangered until 2014 but can bee freely picked now. Unlike in some other countries where it is still under protection – so if you want to try it, consider doing it in Poland.

Do you remember my yesterday's post? While all the suggested there relationships of chilies and charcoal are true, the most important one is in soy sauce production.

Charcoal is added to filter impurities. Chiles have antimicrobial property. So, yeah, the duo absorbs nasty stuff and kills bacteria 😎. The beige objects seen submerged underneath on the photo are meju - bricks of compressed fermented soybeans - the main ingredient; the key to Korean pastes; the key to Korean cuisine. The brine itself will become soy sauce (ganjang), the remainder will be mashed into bean paste (doenjang).

Though store shelves in Korea are heavy with commercially manufactured sauces, a large number of companies are, well, 'craft microbreweries' (like the one pictured). At the same time, surprising numbers of people still make their own sauces at home. How the preserving tradition is fermented - oh, I mean: how the fermenting tradition is preserved - in Korea is heartwarming.

Swipe for photos from the charming town of Korčul

Swipe for photos from the charming town of Korčula - its late medieval stone architecture and sweet goodies from Cukarin, a cult pastry shop.

It was established in 1994 by Smiljana Matijaca who still single-handedly runs the business, crafting new batches of cookies day by day. Just ammonia and no modern baking powder nor baking soda is used and only she herself knows the recipes.

The eponymous cukarin (no photo here, go to my website) is a simple claw-shaped biscuit sprinkled with sugar, meant to accompany a glass of wine.

Klašun (photo 3) is made from the same dough but shaped like a hat and filled with nuts.

Amareta (photo 5) is made from ground almonds, citrus zest, figs and honey.

The funky harubica (photo 1) includes ground carob (that grows on Korčula) and is topped with orange marmalade and lemon rind “horns.”
.
.
.
Korčula is both a name of the town and of the whole island. Narrow yet almost 50 km long and rugged, driving from one end to another may take hours. Its rims are notched with numerous coves of stunning beauty (photo 10). Parallel lines of roads hang on different levels and it seems impossible to descend from one to another to reach the inlets. Sticking your head out of the window and looking down feels like flying.

Some people say that Marco Polo was born here.

Ssanggyesa 쌍계사 (雙磎寺) was founded in the 8th century by two monks who went to China, brought the skull of Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, and enshrined it here. The temple is famous as being the site of early tea planting - I already posted about it several weeks ago (Feb 26 and 27 to be exact). Old wild tea trees survive in the nearby mountains.🍃

Photos number 6 to 9 were taken in Guksaam 국사암(國師庵), a hermitage branch shrine in blissfully serene woods a few kilometers away from the principal monastery compound.

Tea that needs a saw.

I love compressed teas and how they ocasionally are creatively shaped. But Anhua Dark Tea 安化黑茶 is special for being so hard that shops display it with a crosscut hand saw, like if it is a log of wood. It sure does look timberish. Just look at my picture and then swipe to see more photos from this particular store and a VIDEO too.

Have you ever tried it, have you seen something similar? Drop a comment.

As the name indicates, this tea comes from Ānhuà 安化. It is a county in central part of Hunan province.
.
.
The brick form of Anhua Tea also reminds us of its past importance on the ancient Tea Horse Road, a system of trade routes connecting China with Tibet, Bengal and SE Asia.
