[quote=APAULT,228279]I think I cab truly say that I have eaten everything I have been offered in China. Sometimes I would prefer not to be offerd it again, other times I am just surprised. First of all I was surprised to be taken to 'night tea' (effectively a late night yum cha) at 11pm after having a full dinner earlier in the evening.... but maybe after 12 months in China I should not have been so surprised, after all, food is so very important here ! As I was looking for something light my friend ordered stewed fruit for me. It was just as I would make at home except that it had a poached/coddled** egg in it. To an Australian or a Briton, this is a very strange combination. I find it hard to say why, except 'it's just not done'!! ** poached or coddled are eggs boiled without their shell[/quote]
