Claim: Enshi cuisine is generally spicy, and most of the restaurants cater to Chinese tastes.
Evidence: The food in Enshi is spicy and includes many "Hot Pot" style dishes as well as smoked pork and chirzo style sausage meat, spicy fried potatoes and lamb skewers. Restaurants here in general cater for Chinese tastes; however there is one western style restaurant called "Mac Home" in the city center.
