An illustrated book or web site would be fantastic.

Though about all I've been able to discover is that there's tea growing on some of the higher slopes (an early introduction by the British to try and compete with China, before realising India was more suitable). I've seen people gather plants around my village, but I'm sure it's for medical rather than culinary purposes. The think the trick will be to searching in Chinese rather than English.<br /><br />Cheers<br />AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855162150273950842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590338995575781808.post-18729949794116238332010-11-01T17:31:24.827+08:002010-11-01T17:31:24.827+08:00Andrew,

But why not - surely in the lush greeness of the New Territory (as you suggest) there must be produce waiting to be found.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020445581810054798noreply@blogger.com
