>Even Sichuan food in Shanghai is watered down.
That doesn't surprise me. I've only had mostly authentic Sichuan once in my life and it was something else. A guy I used to work with was a first gen immigrant who once gave me some leftovers his mom cooked and it was no joke. I love me some spicy food, but that was a little much for an every day kinda meal. On the bright side, my house is still vampire proof.

While I'm sorta with you here, I feel it should be noted that an "informant" is not an FBI employee. It's more like what we'd normally call a "snitch."
