my mom's in China on a business trip. Everytime she goes, she comes back with some sort of wild story about something that she ate or she experienced. Usually she tries to stick to food that she is accustomed to or able to recognize. Apparently last night's dinner was a little much for her. (No offense mom). I think it sounds pretty fun!
"OK, so we went to that old seafood restaurant tonight. It is on stilts in the middle of the dirty river. The floor is old and I am afraid we will collapse and drown. We had pigeon! It is supposed to be famous in Zhongshan. It was BBQed and cut up into sections but still looked like a pigeon—lots of bones! Yuck! We also had shrimp with the heads, spicy crab-mixed in chile peppers. We used chopsticks and our teeth to crack the shells! Oh yes, eggs, like a frittata, with small fish mixed in. Needless to say, I am hungry now, since I couldn’t eat much. So you are correct, Chinese food is not filling!
I almost forgot the pear and chicken soup. And no dessert. Miss you and love you.
