Foreigners and Baijiu…Courtesy of 300 Shots at Greatness
Posted: August 1st, 2012 | 1 Comment »300 Shots at Greatness is a blog by the author and editor Derek Sandhaus, now a resident of Chengdu, concerning all things baijiu. I decided to ask him about any references by foreigners in China to their encounters with the filthy yet ubiquitous stuff. Here‘s what he came up with from Marco Polo to Pere Huc! Well done Derek, and he managed to throw in a good Sapajou cartoon that I believe was originally commissioned by Carl Crow for his book Foreign Devils in the Flowery Kingdom.
