- Welcome to Hunan Food 101 where we are all getting a crash course in (what is in my opinion) one of China's most underrated cuisines. As Peter would say: "Hunan food is EVERYTHING"

XIA FAN CAI doesn't mean the dish goes on top of rice it means the rice goes "down" (xia) well because of the salty/spicy accompanying dishes
Ahhh thank you so much! I’ve learned the translation wrong 👍👍 will know for next time
@@BlondieinChina all good, next time you can say "this dish is good with rice 这道菜很下饭"
Pretty game to be travelling the next day after eating so much spicy food. Pro tip- always travel with Lomotil 😅
Ah, this explains why my crispy intestines at a Hunanese restaurant in Phoenix, USA, was literally blistered in little red devils when I'd asked for "fairly mild." They had the sour element right, too. Not, I'm afraid, my thing, but it was well done and obviously authentic, so far from the home of the cuisine. Still glad I tried it. Well explained, Peter!
下饭：Tends to make you eat more rice (staple food)
What i love about Peter is that he encompasses what the real modern Chinese are like... Warm, carding and genuine..but the international version... 😊
The international version or the “Kelly from the valley” version 😂😂😂😂
And very knowledgeable, with a campy sense of humor! #SorryNotSorry
@@pbworld7858 Love it...
His chopstick handling is unique
exactly
As a chinese, I have to say peter is a genius in many things, English High level, Chinese culture High level, Talking skills High level.
Peter says hi 👋🏼 🎉😂
yeah his English is better than a lot of Native Speakers I know
@@rickyli9957 hahahahaha thanks for the compliment
yeah, "3 high" people, need lose weight
@@peterzhou372 Hey Peter! Glad to see you here. Always a pleasure to listen to you. You have such a deep knowledge about food, culture, and the story behind it all! I'm just curious how you formed your English accent which doesn't sound very Chinese at all?
HAH I LOVE PETER SO MUCH!
thanks for keeping him a reoccurring character on these food adventures!
YASSS WE STANNNN PETER AND BLONDIE MOMENTSSSS
Thanks for the like lovely human! I have watched all videos. My partner and I have found a love for hot pot since watching your videos. I'd love to see another and learn more about what you get and how you make your sauce! Xo from Canada.
@@catdelaney2986 thanks so much!!!!
Easily 100k views guaranteed with Peter
Peter says hi and thank you for the compliment 😊
I love China so much... its ancient, rich culture, the many different ethnicities of people, languages, traditions and foods, wherever I went, I've never had a bad experience in my life travelling through the majestic country and I never will. I must have been Asian in a previous life🥰 since my first trip I immediately got accustomed to the spiciness and to the peculiar flavors and foods that people from other countries might frown upon. Thank you Amy for all your hard work, hugs to Peter
Hi Veronica! Thank you for your compliment and China is open for tourism again! You’re always welcome to visit again!
Peter is such a riot! I can imagine he's a very fun person to be friends with. More Amy+Peter food adventures please!
Feel free to check out some Cantonese food adventure with Peter in the previous months 😂 and BTW, Peter says hi 👋🏼 🎉
but a bit weird that he is a little bit girlish.
I am an official fan of Peter~ Just love the videos you have with him. He adds flavor and a different insight into your already amazing videos. More Peter please!
Peter says hi and thanks for the compliment 😊
@@peterzhou372 I can't believe that apart from being Cantonese and you also have the last name Zhou 🤣
@@zhou1368 😂 yeah my last name is Zhou as well.
@@peterzhou372 💘💘 Absolutely love your commentary and is always extremely informative. Keep doing amazing work and looking forward to more videos with of you and Amy!! Cheers~
@@oneilchung thank you! I thought ppl won’t like me that much because of my valley girl accent 😂
Peter is great!! You guys should film more together :)
Peter says hi 👋🏼
Videos with Blondie tells all the western world, there is NO Chinese food in China. There are so many different cuisines. Saying Chinese food is like saying European food which doesn't make sense at all.
In China they say European or Western food though as well. So it is not "better" 🤗😅
@@katrinlausch3078 we would call steak as western food but if there’s a specific restaurant of one country we would call them ( ) food
It's funny 'cos here, we have 西餐 which lumps all western food into one catagory, like Chinese food for westerners. XD
The only difference is that China is a country not Europe. And some of these europeans have great regional cuisine like the french and the italian
@@christofat2704 Actually, in China, there are 8 major styles of Chinese cuisines, with a lot of sub-styles branching off from these cuisines. So even if China is one country, it still has a lot of variety in its dishes.
the power combo is back!! thanks Peter for sacrificing his sweat for us to enjoy 😅
Sweat and tears. Peter should run away to Guangdong and enjoy subtle NATURAL , authentic flavors rather than Hunan's highly flavored foods.
We need more Peter.... and Jasmine!!
both together
Hunan is truly one of my favorite places in China!!! I can smell this video~ I’m so glad that Peter shared some of the local love for River dishes. They’re so memorable and I miss them when I’m here in the states
Pleeeeease invite Peter back to your channel again, I really really love how knowledgeable he is when it comes to explaining the different food cultures in China.
Peter says thank you 😊
I think he is popular and other China TH-camrs might invite him to boast their channel
@@philipwong3530 Hahahahaha if they are gonna talk in English, I don’t mind 🤣
Can’t imagine I was sitting at the same table last month during my holiday in China and now watching this back home in Australia.
Really glad to see Peter again in the video!
1.40am here in the UK but can’t say no to a new chinese food adventure 😉
Love your episodes with Peter! And I gotta say, well done, Peter for eating all those spicy food!
Peter was literally crying in the video 😂 Having families from Hunan doesn’t help on my spice tolerance at all 😢
Omg your videos with peter are so fun 🤩 , the food looks so good!
Glad you like them!
Hahahahaha Peter says hi.
Love it when Peter is in the video. He is such a riot.
Great, great, GREAT video - Peter is phenomenal and the food looked beyond delicious. Can’t wait for the next one!
😂😂😂 Peter says thank you 😊
There are so many different kinds of Chinese food that you could go 365 days without eating the same food. A country with 5,000 years of history and culture really lives up to its reputation.。
Peter is very entertaining and lively. He also seems very knowledgeable when it comes to the history of Chinese food.
Peter says thank you 😊
I remember eating those river snails on the street in ghangzhou...only after getting back to the states did i think about how polluted the rivers are although farther up river in the mountains the water is very clear.
I think Peter and my spice tolerance is about the same. I would cry also, but they would be happy tears as I went back for more food! 😂 ❤
Hi John! I would have to say the spice really keeps your adrenaline at a high level 😂 and we all remembered you eating a piece chili pepper all by itself at Little Hunan when you were first trying Hunan cuisine 😂
@@peterzhou372 haha, me too. I still have the scars …….emotional ones! 😜 hehe
@@peterzhou372 my town in the USA has a bunch of hunan restaurants. I'm excited and nervous to go there
@@shreychaudhary4477 Haha really? Where do you live in the U.S.?
@@peterzhou372
I'm from the bay area in California (particularly Milpitas)
(a bunch meaning two but feels like a lot to me because I can only think of one restaurant that sells the cuisine from the state of India that my ancestors come from)
I haven't really eaten much chinese food tbh (though ig part of it is because I'm vegetarian and have, like, no familiarity with chinese languages or chinese cuisine)
I knew this video could be on another level when I saw Peter is in the thumbnail.
1000/10
Peter says #sorrynotsorry from Auckland, NZ now 😂
OMG, blondie is finally visiting my hometown Changsha! Love it!
God...i love Peter and his humour and rich knowledge of chinese cuisine. Really fun to watch!
Peter says thank you 😊
Milk actually only helps with spicy food by coating the stomach, it doesn't stop the burn, same with yogurt. Sweet drinks is what helps by swishing it around before swallowing.
Peter is full of charm!
The banter between 😂 you guys....amazing
We love Peter. Your food adventures with him are so much fun to watch. I only wish I could taste the food, too.
And Peter says #sorrynotsorry for you not being able to taste it 😂 consider visiting China some time!
I can't wait to visit China again, so much to see and do, Peter is awesome as are all Chinese people!
Peter says hi and welcome! China is now open for tourism and feel free to visit 😊
@@peterzhou372 Thank you for your Message, hopefully be there soon
@@jennyohara4011 😁
When I was a little boy, we ate 饅頭 with only chilly sauce inside and my grandparents were Hubei people, north of Hunan
It's always a treat when you go on a discovery tour with Peter.
Peter says hi 👋🏼 😂
I absolutely LOVE videos with peter in it. Yall just vibe so well and the videos just feel more fun and chaotic.
Peter says thank you 😊
one of the best episodes you have made. Amy. Cant wait for the next one.
Wow, thank you!
Peter is always a good complement to your food adventures. He knows a lot of the foods history. And you two have good rapport !
Great job as always, Amy and Peter.
Peter is a gem. I do enjoy the content he gets to be in. He is very informative and I appreciate that.
Peter says thank you 😊
So neat to see Changsha! My grandmother was born there about 100 years ago-her parents were white Americans, but there for a few years on medical-related work. I’ve heard stories of it at that time, but don’t know much about it now, so seeing the cuisine and the street scenes is a real treat. Thank you!
Medical related work? There were some Yale people established hospitals and schools in Changsha back then.
Bingo-they were medical missionaries affiliated with Yale! My great-grandfather was in public health.
@@lauramcmillan9592 good for them. Missionaries laid the foundation of chinese modern medical care and higher education. The hospitals and schools they established are still considered among the best.
Peter is such a soldier even though he cannot eat spicy hot dishes.
Hahahahaha thank you 😊 I really can’t take spicy dishes at all
hi amy another translation for xia fan cai would be a "dish that makes rice go down (your stomach)" . this is the translation i grew up with at least 😂
Peter is laughing soooo hard and is like #sorrynotsorry from Auckland, New Zealand right now 😂
hey Peter, this is naomi from australia. this video makes me homesick. really want to join your guys trip when i come back to china. also, how can i improve my english as same as you. Your level is absolutely a native speaker. enjoy your trip with Amy, i have been watching her channel for few years. really love her….
Peter is so down to earth ❤
Amy! Peter! Nihao! Great to see the dynamic #sorrynotsorry duo at it again!
Hahahahahaha #sorrynotsorry duo, I like that 😂
Very impressed with Mr. Peter for eating all of the Wunan style spicy food, Miss Amy, and definitely need to have six bowls of rice to fill up the portion and reduce the spiciness.
Hello Amy! I'm so overjoyed that you finally visited Hunan, which is my mum's hometown!
I've been a long time viewer of your channel and watching your videos have been bolstering my Chinese vocabulary skills! Watching this video today felt like virtually traveling back to Hunan! If you have time, I highly recommend you to visit 永州 (Yongzhou), which is another suburban city in Hunan! I also recommend trying out food like 东安子鸡 and 血鸭, which are both Hunan's specialties!
Thank you so much for always sharing your amazing experiences in China!
Lots of love from Japan! 🇯🇵❤
我是永州人住在澳洲，好想吃血鸭，酿豆腐还有酿辣椒，我们家乡的特色美食
Yay Peter! Loved this video.
Ah Hunan food. I live in NYC and that has become a very popular cuisine more recently. There's spots with a lot of those dishes outside of the carp face which I love.
I really love Peter! He has such so great energy! Also do i love how he explains everything! He is so great :D
Peter says thank you and please look forward to the video coming up next Tuesday 😁
Way to go Peter. Love the dynamics of Amy and Peter in the videos. 💕👍
😂😂😂 Peter says hi 👋🏼
Great to see Peter again!
Peter says hi 👋🏼
I love Peter!!! ❤❤such great energy and so cultured !
love that trivia about chilli introduced to these provinces, never knew that
I have loved your series covering the cuisine of Changsha. Peter is also a fabulous addition to the video! ❤
OMG it's Peter! Love it already 👍👍👍😀❤
Peter says hi 👋🏼 🎉
@@peterzhou372 oh wow 😀😀❤ More Peter please! 👍👍👍👍👍
Such positive and joyful vibe together! So more and more Peter please! 🙏🙏😀❤❤🎉🍰☕
I enjoy watching Peter on your channel!
Once again, you two have made those moorish dishes even more moorish! :D😋
Yayyy…we got Peter here. Love his vast knowledge of local food and the hidden gems
Peter says thank you 😊
The river snail dish looks really interesting. I’m guessing there are people who have been picking them out of shells for years and can do it incredibly fast. I’m also guessing they don’t get paid enough for how skilled they are.
现在都是用机器了
here, we suck each out.
Peter is just great and brings a fun, jovial, slightly spicy character to the videos. He‘s akin to a Sesame Street character that just brings a smile to watch. You should definitely consider doing more videos, Peter!
Peter says hi and thanks for the compliments 😊
我也很喜欢Peter！英语太好啦，而且讲解很生动有趣。支持Peter变成常驻嘉宾😂
皮特本皮是限时返场嘉宾😉
Peter is such a great funny guest!! Another amazing video
Peter says thank you 😊
Love it when Peter guest hosts together!!!! He’s always so expressive and spot on with his food commentary!!!!!
PS. Amy what VPN do you use??? Do you have recommendation?
Peter says thank you 😊
Love seeing peter on the show, he is so sassy and funny, also he is a total intellectual with such comprehensive knowledge of all the dishes...
As for the profusely sweating part, I can relate on a spiritual level. my shirts are often soaked when I eat Hunan cuisine.
Peter says thank you! If you’ve been to Hunan, you know the deal about sweating, crying and spitting fire 🔥 😂
Amy, so when are you going to do a video with both Peter and Jasmine?
Just imagine 2 of the top crowd favorites on 1 screen.
Peter, my deepest gratitude for sacrificing your digestive system just to educate us all non-Hunanese.
Peter is a total culinary hero!
I think you and Peter should make a show together
😂😂😂😂😂😂 And the title of the show could be #sorrynotsorry ?
Oh boy, your videos are over in the blink of an eye! I cannot wait for the next one.
Peter is such a delightful young Man; if I ever make it to China, I'd want him to be my guide!
Cheers from Ontario 🇨🇦
Haha, forgot to mention the food. Everything looked spectacular! Another video to save.
Peter here and thanks for the compliment 😊
@@peterzhou372 You're more than welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. You're a very likable young Man, Peter. I cannot wait to see you again.
Cheers from the Niagara Region 🇨🇦🤗
@@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst OMG you’re from the Niagara region! I use to live in Buffalo NY for 7 years all the way until the beginning of Covid, got stuck in China and was never able to make my way back. Miss my life there soooo much and that’s why I have the general North American accent when I talk in English 😂
Spicy!!! I miss eating food like this. Enjoy it!!! So authentic
Totally loved this episode!
Peter walk in the restaurant like a queen walking into her palace.Bless him.☺😘😘
Hahahahaha lmao
Lmao
must be this part 8:24
@@Bodonism hahahahaha I feel like I should be RuPaul
The seeds of a pepper isn't what makes peppers so spicy, it's the capcaisin in the ribs or white pith inside the pepper!
Oh wow! I never knew that! Thanks Erika 🙏
@@BlondieinChina You're welcome! It's a common misconception 😅
Hunan is Amazing!
Peter is such a character with so much sas and sizzle. I love it
😂 Peter says hi and #sorrynotsorry
I love your video so much! Now everytime when I feel my food is boring, I jus have my meal and watch your video, it just makes the food more appetizing. Keep it up, can't wait to see more contents!
OMG, this is where my future bride hailed from. Thanks for enlightening their cuisine and what their preferences are.
湖南的女孩子挺能干的！
Hhahaha Peter so surprised
Hahahahaha peter says surprise~
Wow funtastic foods video Amy, Peter made your videos more yummy! 🙏🏻👍🏻😍💯

So much fun! 🎉😂 love your content and watching you explore China.
It is great to view Peter again. China TV would do well to have Peter as a food reviewer, but in the meantime, I hope he becomes an international vlogger.
Omg Peter is absolutely wonderful and hilarious!!!
Peter says hi here 😊
At first I was hesitant. Now I'm all in on Blondie! I love your vids!
Love a Peter episode! Great food tour 🥢
Peter‘s way of holding chopsticks is very unique 😅
Love when you and Peter get together for food adventures!
Gahhh I enjoyed Peter’s intro in this one !
Love watching you and Peter! Where’s Jasmine? Hope to see you all get-together for a big feast soon! Cheers!🥳🥳🌶️🌶️🫰🏼🫰🏼
Jasmine and I now live in different cities 😢😢😢 but hopefully will see her soon!!
@@BlondieinChina awww that’s sad 😢… hope you could see her soon! In the meantime, looking forward to seeing your next food adventure with Peter and regards to Derk!😁😁😁
i love peter!
Like to see some real authentic Hunan food... welcome to 湘菜！
Great thanks to Amy and Peter! The video is so so so so good!
I could really dig into this kind of food even though I haven't tried it yet ! # jealous ;-P
Hooray, Peter! Great video, both of you!
I love saucy foods that require mopping up with bread, rice, noodles etc.
I love Peter hahaha he brings so much zhush to your channel
Love Peter he’s an amazing collaborator!! ❤
Peter is so funny 😆 Already a fan of him!
love it！ great vid！ great Amy and Peter！
