Sichuan Gong Bao Chicken

Sichuan Gong Bao

SpiceBreeze
"Gong Bao" is a classic, spicy dish originating in the Sichuan Province in Southwest China, named after a former governor of Sichuan. Unlike the Westernized version, also known as Kung Pao, its signature spice is Sichuan peppercorn. Don't be surprised; this pepper is not hot but causes a slight numbing sensation on the tongue. Add fresh chili pepper to taste for the desired level of heat.

Bavarian Obatzda

SpiceBreeze
200 years ago, the beer garden started as an extension of a brewery, where the brewery could sell beer directly to the consumer instead of delivering it to pubs. Last century, a Bavarian brewery owner created Obatzda to make use of overripe Camembert cheese. Today, Obatzda is a popular Bavarian beer garden dish that is served with pretzels and beer. You can also shake up your mac and cheese with this new taste.
