Ingestables: Things we [should not?] put in our mouths

Start voting: Yes or no?

Dumpling stuff with the ovary and digestive glands of a crab. HOT. Vote = yes.

I hate, hate, HATE clumps of circles like this. *brrrrrrr* GROSSSSS. No. I think it's lotus root or something, btw, according to my mom. GROSS.

Yes. It was a great dinner. :D

Shanghai tiny wonton = YES, hell yes. I ate about 12 bowls of this in 3-4 days. ^^ It was my last meal in China!

Menu... prices range from 40 cents to beef noodles being the most expensive at $1.50 or so.

Beer... meh, not one of my favorites.

Empty glass full of rum... also not my favorite, but better than beer.

Tracy drinks the soup out of a steamed soup bun before eating it. Yes.

"Meatballs-on-a-stick" = yes. Very yumsome. Can be had ready-made at convenience stores. ^^

Candy store, anyone? Not my personal preference either, but yes.

I vote big-time yes. There's (left-to-right on the lazy susan) potato strips with green bell peppers, ma-po tofu (spicy), mu-xu vegetables (cabbage, wood-ear fungus, egg, pork strips), veggies with garlic, eggplant, and then in the middle, chicken in sweet and sour sauce, I think. Rice, of course. Yum.

I'm not a fan of sweets, but Oreos at the Great Wall = yes.

Reno and a "jenny Cola," which is what all my classmates called diet Coke. (It's "jian-yi kuh-luh," so they'd say it when they were ordering in restaurants, etc. Sounds like Jenny Cola, no?)

Watermelons = OK. I'm not a big fruit person either. Mostly carnivore if I can help it. ;P

Chicken = yes. ;p

Tea = yes

Breakfast is small fried buns and a green tea. Yes.

Drinks at the top of the Great Wall = yes, and they are worth their exorbitant prices because, I mean, she hauls all that weight up to the top. She deserves money!

Fried bun with egg and spicy saucy sauce = yes, although as an early breakfast, it might make your tummy rumbly

Meat-on-a-stick, as we liked calling it... lamb skewers, or "chuarr"(? Closest pronunciation, lol, in a Beijing accent) grilled over charcoal and topped with scrumptious spicy spices. I think I ate over 200 of them in China. :D They're not that filling.

Dim sum place in a food court = yes

Fancy opening banquet dinner = yes.

My ice within the Forbidden City = yes. Note the pen in my hand... my lucky pen died about 1/2way through the trip from lack of juice and I have not been the same woman since.

Chicken nugget justified with wasabi sauce from McD = yes, many yesses. Asian fast food has nice light batter. I can't say much for the taste of the rest of it, though.

Fries and nuggets + wasabi sauce = meh... I tried to avoid eating American food, but sometimes it wasn't worth putting up a fight when my friends got homesick for familiar food. =) It wasn't bad. I like the sauce a lot. KFC was atrocious.

Bacardi super sweet peach Asian breezer with no alcohol taste whatsoever = no.

Snake rice wine = one time yes, after that, never again, no. It tasted like licorice.

Beer again = meh. I like Tsingtao and that's it. (I probably had about 12 bottles of that in China... they have some huuuuge beer bottles, lol)

Coke? Sometimes yes. Mostly no.

Kitche with veggies = interesting? Maybe yes? With lots of garlic?

Tea = yes

Michelle's bakery = not bad. I like Taiwanese breads better. Food racist I am. ;p

Dog = yes.

Just kidding.

Bananas = I hate them. They are God's torment to toddlers. And big sisters who must clean them up.

Meat in a Muslim butcher shop on the main street = yes. I <3 meat. I know I will die an early death.

Xinjiang food = not bad... yes

Buns by the roadside with water? Yes!

Pearl milk tea? Don't get it in China; come to Taiwan for the real stuff. Again, food racist. ;p

Cleaning up the remains of baby's ingestables? Meh... not for me for many years, please please. ;p

Tea? Sure! Always! Yes!

Chrysanthemum tea in a portable bottle? OK. Yes.

Coffee in the Forbidden City? Yes.

Rice-wrapped-in-bamboo-leaves, randomly given to me by an old couple in the Forbidden City? Yes.
