Wow, this is great. There I found this absolutely superb mirror
to the mandarintools dictionary:

Top-notch stuff! One can get large enough pictures of the characters
for the uninitiated to copy down.

Also, my local library happens to have "The Eater's Guide...";
thanks for the tip. I think I'll photocopy "the naughty
parts". I think I'm in business.

Thanks! (and to Rona too!)
