成都美食英文介绍(配有图片)
Chengdu snacks are popular for their unique flavors and cooked with various seasonings. They have a particular style in color, smell, taste and shape.
火锅以及其配菜、调料
Most of Sichuan food are quite spicy. You should be sure to order non spicy (不要辣; búyàolà), little spicy (微辣; wēilà) food or very spicy (老辣; laola). If you are not accustomed to it yet, a small dish of soy(bean) sauce works much better than water to quell the spicy taste. However, if you are used to authentic Indian or Thai food, the level of spiciness in Sichuan food should be no problem at all. But I must mention that Sichuan food also makes heavy use of Sichuan pepper (花椒; huajiao), which looks like but is not a true peppercorn干胡椒, and causes your mouth/lips to become somewhat numb. Sichuan pepper is added in most spicy dishes. If you can eat/prefer spicy food but do not like Sichuan pepper, you need to order so (不要花椒; bu yao huajiao). However, authentic Sichuan tastes commonly used both Sichuan pepper and chili peppers in proportion, relicso I strongly recommend you to try the
authentic versions with the Sichuan pepper before making your decision.

Hotpot
The spiciest food in Chengdu is hotpot (also called steampot or steamboat), although its tradition originated in Chongqing, yet it is quite popular in Chengdu. Sichuan hotpots are basically a big pot of spicy soup and spices simmering in a hole in the middle of your table. While the hot pot keeping simmering, ingredients have already placed into the pot. Patrons ['peitrən] choose from a large selection of meats, vegetables and other add-ins(beverage ['bevəridʒ];alcoholic drink;liquor烈酒). Most popular includes: lamb, mushrooms, beef, tofu,
quail [kweil] eggs鹌鹑蛋, potatoes and various others (pork , fish balls, carrots, and even pig's brain!) You can choose spicy pot or non spicy pot. With spicy hot pots, unlike eanstern hot pots, the soup is NOT for drinking; instead, fish out捞出 your cooked items with chopsticks (do not fish the liquid out with a spoon, it is too spicy even for locals to drink; the fished out vegetables are spicy enough), dip them in the small dish/bowl of oil provided to each person, and just enjoy.

ck (九九鸭脖子), Bangbang chicken (棒棒鸡), spicy rabbit meat (二兔丁). All of them are so delicious and you must try them. But you need to ask a local to take you to the right place. Quite often you may find that some small restaurants and shops offer the most delicious and cheapest food.
