My local museum is holding a temporary exhibition of Dong Art.

 

Many of the ethnic minority Dong people (侗族 - dòngzú) in China live just to the north of here, in northern Guangxi and in Guizhou and Hunan provinces. They are largely agricultural people, some mere subsistence farmers. They are also renowned for their unique architecture, especially in bridges.

Their diet consists largely of rice (glutinous and regular), fish, pork and chicken along with various green vegetables.

The art exhibition features images of daily life and, as such, there is a fair bit of eating going on. Here is a selection of pictures which have at least some culinary content.
