Behind th Steam

· FOOD AS PROCESS ·

Nothing pleases me more than entering the hidden

world of Asian kitchens. Behind the scene, parting the

veil of rising steam, doors flapping one-way and service

entrances to the back alley, flames roar under woks, vats of

broth bubble, water cascades down fan covers to prevent fire,

deadly cleavers rat-a-tat against chopping blocks. And wet

markets say more about geopolitics than a thousand G-11

summits. All you have to do to understand Hong Kong is

visit its main vegetable depot, where massive lines of

cross-border trucks reveal a daily dependence on

China. Yet, as with the sexual, we sometimes

flinch at the graphic details of delivery

systems tied to our stomachs — each

titillating peek at some bottom

rung of raw hunger.
