I would assume you have had Chongqing hot pot by now. But if not, there are a few joints in Kunming, though these are just shadows of the real stuff you get in Chongqing or Chengdu.

So a while back, probably around spring, I bought some alcohol fermented from honey. It was sold in Carrefour in fresh/fancy honey display area the dried foods area. I haven't seen it for sale again since. The honey wine was from Sichuan province and sold in large and small wine bottles.

Has anyone seen this for sale somewhere else in Kunming?

I think I had to address you directly, since no one else in the forum was hating and misinforming on Wiki.

I apologize for using the term idiotic. You just hold the plain jane form of conspiracy theories. I have seen much worse and should reserve inciteful language for the true nutz.

I did not bring up Wiki being the 6th most popular website as a way to reinforce it's validity. Wiki stands on its own. I brought it up to illustrate how the founder operates on his principles despite having one of the most valuable properties on the internet.

@HFCAMPO

Wiki just like other big media? You can hold your idiotic conspiracy theories, but don't hate and misinform on Wiki. They run the 6th most popular website on the planet with less than 20 people and have to beg for money all the time from piecemeal donations from small donors. The founder could of sold out for billions anytime in the last few years, but constantly struggles just to keep wiki ad free (there aren't even side google text ads on the site).

Also a double blind study is an amazingly powerful medical research tool. Few drugs ever survive a double blind study.

Uh, I'm not a big fan of msg. And no matter what, like any food additive it should be labeled if it's part of anything (which is the case for most western countries).

But it is safe. According to wiki, less lethal than salt. Also, in a double blind study, "There was only one reaction, and it was to the placebo in a self-identified MSG-sensitive individual"

You can bash msg if you like, but bash it cause you don't like the taste or it makes you get headaches or gassy. But you can't bash it as something toxic. Too much salt will kill you faster than too much msg.
