Corn porridge

　　Corn porridge---In Shangri-La, there is a unique food among the Tibetan and Lisu ethnic groups. It is transliterated as "Qian Tuo" in Tibetan and "Ge Shuai E Lai" in Lisu, meaning corn porridge. The corn is washed, pounded into small pieces, and then put into a pot. Then, wheat, beans (green beans), and ham are also washed, sliced, and stewed together until everything becomes very soft. The taste and deliciousness of corn porridge are indescribable—most people can easily drink several big bowls. This kind of porridge can now be found in both Zhongdian and Deqen counties. (Diqing)
