Talk:Sichuan mala/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The clear history of mala sauce is still unknown, but it is widely believed that people in Sichuan province, one of the poorest provinces in Chinese history, invented strong-tasting mala sauce to cover up rotten meats."

This is total baloney. First of all, Sichuan province has never been "one of the poorest provinces in Chinese history". On the contrary, it is called Tian Fu Zhi Guo (Kindom of Heaven) because of its high agriculture output thanks to its rich soil and water system. And where is the source for the taste cover-up crap?
