Mandarin Squirrel Fish - The best fish we've eaten in China (Suzhou) |
The Chinese don't have a concept of 'low-fat', which is good since there is a much better balance of carbs, fat, protein etc.
Ayi Noodles - Home cookin' and Yangmei's favorite! |
They eat the whole animal including the pig nose. No, we haven't tried this yet. |
All-you-can-eat Marriott breakfast. Chocolate covered pancakes! |
As you can see, fish is always served whole. Be very careful of the bones! |
Look at Yanyuan with those chopsticks! |
Please let us know if you ever eat pig nose. I am not sure if I could live there, I probably would only ever eat noodles and rice.
ReplyDeleteFrom Yangmei. Pigs nose is for the timid. How about eating the whole pig's face? They also had the whole face vacuum-packed, as if they had peeled it off the head (eyes, ears in tact), laid it out like a rubber Halloween mask and packaged it up. Very interesting. I met pictures of the kids’ school while it is still green and lush. The picture mike put on the blog makes it look like a prison. Hope all is well!
ReplyDeletewow, really don't think I could even look at that!! Although my neighbor was telling me that after growing up on a farm you learn to use all parts of animals. His favorite thing is tongue. Don't think I could handle it. Missing you all at dance class, but love hearing all your stories
