China: Unusual & Interesting Food

http://www.TravelsWithSheila..com
It would be impossible to visit China and never come across something new and different in the food world. At least, new and different to us. I'm perfectly willing to try ALMOST anything as long as I know what it is first, can make a "gag" decision. For example...the duck heads. That was a double "gag" for me. Also on my "don't eat" list is: monkey, snake, rat, cat or dog. That's my short list...

The taco, burrito, crepey, roll-up thing is called "Lo Mah" and I found out later that the green, cheesy concoction was "steamed garden chrysanthemum"...both, very delicious. You never know unless you try it...

Every culture has its own unique points. We find eating dogs and cats unacceptable ( as dogs and cats are carnivores ) but many may find eating chicken not so pleasant. For chicken eat anything that crawls , as they are non-vegetarians. As to dogs and cats being grown as pets , you can also make chickens, cows,cocks and hens pets . - indeed they are grown as part of households in many homes both in the east and the west till the moment the are butchered.

how is it different ?

@sonny19xx It isn't!

LOL

As a Chinese person, I find Chinese food appealing and appetizing.

These "Strange" foods you see aren't part of our diet. We find it weird too just not as weird as foreigners.

People all over the world eat strange obscure things.

Don't hate on culture.

@DaAsianPowah Please don't misunderstand me. I love Chinese food. Whether or not I choose to eat some of it is an entirely different subject. There are many foods in America that I feel the same way about. I'm just trying to show people who don't travel and share these experiences what is out there. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

@travelswithsheila Thank You. Finally someone who understands. I mean, Eaten dogs are raised like Chickens and Cows. Look at the slaughter rate in America without mentioning all the abuse they receive. if you would argue that a dog is man's best friend, why can't it be a cow or a chicken?

@DaAsianPowah If I had any animal as my best friend, it would be a pig (would still eat pork even so). Love pigs. Think they have so much personality.

@dheer1231 I finally saw jaggery in India. The huge blocks of sugar resembled chunks of Parmesan Cheese and that's what I thought it was originally. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best regards, Travels With Sheila
