“Succulents” on Dining Tables in Rural Yunnan

Aloe, Euphorbia neriifolia and cactus are popular plants in our village. They can protect crops from animals as natural fences and they don’t need much care. On top of that, they can be used as ingredients and served on dining tables. You must have few chances to know these dishes and may feel a little weird, but it’s true we make such dishes in daily life. The elders in our village always said that they’re of some special medicinal use. I’m rather in doubt about that, but whatever, as long as they taste good.
