Edit History

Got myself a bargain today. These peanuts were on special offer.

They are 龙脑桥麻辣花生 (lóng nǎo qiáo má là huā shēng), Longnao Bridge Mala Peanuts.

Longnao Bridge is an ancient bridge (built between 1378 and 1389) in Luzhou, Sichuan (Not Liuzhou!) and Mala is the signature flavour of Sichuan - hot and numbing from chillis and Sichuan peppercorns. What the connection between the bridge and the nuts may be, I have no idea. They are actually made in Guangzhou in Guangdong province. Still, the taste is authentic.

Beer food supreme.
