Food Fun

Another food post. In fact, I am going to try to pound out a number of posts this weekend to amuse Joe. I hope they are amusing as they will be mostly photos from my shitty phone.

I’m not one for photographing meals- too busy eating. So these are photos are weird foods or events that made me stop and take a photo. It may be interesting to note that I became a strict vegetarian upon landing here in China.






mmmmmm. FINGER LICK'N GOOD
This little face was staring up at me all through lunch last weekend.

I have a nuber of coworkers who have given up on eating meat because of the high probability that it will be served with a recognizable face.




SHOPPING IN HONG KONG
I went shopping in Hong Kong a few weeks ago. I think people were a little surprised that my only purchases were made in a grocery store. I'm not sure what they thought that I was going to buy.

I have actually located most things on the mainland now except for lentils and bulgar. Hot chocolate, a cake mix, ginger cookies, granola bars, a measuring cup and spoons and a loaf of bread were just impulse purchases.


'TIS THE SEASON
I have a co-worker that says that you know the oranges are in season when the streets are paved with the peels. We have been walking on them for a few weeks now. 

Most are tiny little things with so many leaves on them. Some of them are basically branches with an orange attached. I LOVE them. I buy them with as many leaves as I can even though it makes them more expensive. Like 20 cents a kilo instead of 18 cents- so I guess expense is relative.


I also love the dragon fruit here. It is neon purple and dyes everything it touches neon purple. It tastes little like water melon.
