Yes, they love their chilli. I have just come back from Wuhan to the north of this area. There are bags-and-bags of chillies for sale everywhere. In the local restaurants NOTHING comes without whole chillies. Order green beans - get beans and chilli Order beef - get some beef in a chilli sauce with whole firecracker-type chillies Good place to go! Not sure about making money out of selling things - but hey, good excuse for a trip. cheers grant >>> Dave Anderson <chilehead@tough-love.com> Monday, 7 May 2007 11:59:01 >>> Here's some information for all of you aspiring evil corporate types :) *Tough Love Chile Co.* ** Dear Sir/Madam, We'll hold an international Condiments & Additives exhibition in Changsha ,China.We have visited your website and know your products have hi-quality, so we expect your coming to China to promote your products.
