When I say Chinese food, I mean it. I don’t mean that stuff you get in the rest of the world like beef-and-broccoli or fortune cookies or General Tso’s chicken. No Panda Express. No Asian Super Buffet. We will heretofore refer to that stuff as “Chinese food.” I mean Chinese food that you buy in China that Chinese people would recognize and eat. Chinese food. No quotation marks. |
I didn’t eat all of the following things pictured. Why? Well, read on and I think you’ll see why.
Some things are just odd combinations of basic foods. The juxtaposition can be delicious.
Then again, the Chinese like to eat every part of every animal, so that can stretch my American concept of what’s edible and what’s not.
The Chinese also excel at taking something foreign and tweaking it, which results in strangely familiar items.
Open your mind.
Here we go!
I welcome your thoughts!
