Bacon can break your heart. Not only is its porcine goodness largely due to salt and fat, but it can also be a fickle mistress. My spirits leaped recently with promises of mail order 'squeez bacon', only to find my heart had been toyed with in a merciless and callous fashion. A similar fate was in store when, to strengthen the recommendation of this weeks restaurant, I was told that the managing company are also sole suppliers of bacon to Hormel in China. This, it turns out, is not true. They do, however, co-brand a sausage sold be Hormel. I am assured, however, that bacon or not, the food at this weeks suggestion is delicious. So come join us in a culinary journey to the bacon free eastern hills of MeiZhou.

Above, mythical Squeeze Bacon, not to be confused with very real actual bacon below. Apparently neither of these have much to do with this week's dinner. |

Jesse Watson pointed out the Dong Po 东坡 is a poet from the Song Dynasty. But I still like the idea of heading to the eastern slopes of eyebrow valley.
