What food do you think of when you think of Beijing?
"Ira Humperdink MD" wrote in message oups.com... be careful about those dumplings. they pay workers $0.10/hour to make these dumplings. at wages so low, how many bother to wash their hands after going to toilet? do you mean they have some workers who are like those who work in the many McDonalds in the USA???? I am sure you don't know what goes on in all the kitchens in restaurants in the USA, expensive and cheap.. I hear stories a while back and don't think the USA is always sanitary.. there was a huge stink in Phila (close to where I live) where all those pretzel vendors were observed by a spycam (local TV station).. they showed these guys picking their nose and ****ing behind their cart, then come back and pick up a bunch of pretzals and sell them to someone.. these pictures were on TV, it's not an urban legand.. it happens all the time in the USA, and I am sure some chinese are just as dirty as americans. almost all the time, what I don't know can't hurt me.. that goes for McDonalds by my home or in any country. |

I said that statement as a truth.. For you to say "almost all visitors" PROVES just one thing. You are a spammer hung up on making a political statement.. get a life... You must be from some tiny country who is afraid of it's own shadow. You and your country can't stand Mr. Big because you are so feeble and depressed. Yes, a "few" places in the usa that are not clean, but you can be sure most are. My company gets many, many international visitors at my research center, I can't remember one person coming here on a trip who was sick in my 32 years working there. You are simply spam, like a natt on a horses ass.. You have no substance to add, so you ruin the thread for others just because no one will talk to you and you are bored. Go away you twerp, get a life. The point I was making is that the Chinese are "people" just like Americans are "people" any country has lazy and dirty people.. but most people are not dirty and lazy.

wrote: food, for example. You mentioned dumplings (jiaozi). Jiaozi exist all over the place, but Beijing-style jiaozi are a specialty, and are very good, indeed. There are all sorts of other Beijing-area specialties, and though I had no trouble passing on the silkworms and scorpions on I've had dumplings in Beijing, Shenyang, dandong, dalien, haungzhou, shanghai, wuhan, Chongqing, and a few other places I don't know their name.. Basically they are all the same.. you must have some extra sensitive tongue that can pick up the differences in water flavor in them or something.. Nope, not water flavor. basically they are all made the same way, yes you can get some spicy, and others are not.. [snip] That's hardly the only variation in dumplings. How about the ingredients in the fillings? That's kind of like saying "I've had pasta dishes in Palermo, Naples, Rome, Siena, Perugia, Spoleto, Florence, and Bologna, and they are all basically the same." Oh yeah? Forgetting the differences in the shapes and composition of the pasta (differences in the flour, additions of spinach, tomatoes, squid ink, etc.), what about the different sauces? I have to wonder if there are some tourists from China who find Southern Italian and Northern German food much the same. Do you also find that you can't distinguish the difference between the sound of Mandarin and Wu (Shanghainese language or so-called "dialect," which I understand has about as many spoken words related to Mandarin as Polish does to English)? I find that they don't sound similar at all. Michael If you would like to send a private email to me, please take out the NOTRASH. Please do not email me something which you also posted. |

I find that they don't sound similar at all. Michael Michael, you are making too much of this.. I was not saying there are not different foods that are more common in the south than the north.. that is a no-brainer.. I'm saying the overwhelming foods are the same.. Just like in the USA, you can get a steak in the NORTH, and the SOUTH, and the EAST, and the WEST.. there are many more foods like that than things like hush-puppies, and other regional specialities.. In china, most places sell traditional dishes that you can buy anywhere. I remember when I was in Chongqing.. they advertised hot-pot a lot.. I had it, and it was pretty crappy where I had it, but I had similar dishes up north.. so what was the big deal about hot-pot.. which is the most famous dish in the yangtze basin.. to me nothing.. it was not really new, it was something that I've basically had other places far away from there. yea.. dumplings have different fillings, you can get like I said well over 40 types in Lo Bien in Shenyang up north.. I seriously doubt that you'll find any dumplings in the south that will be much different.. I've not seen any surprises in shanghai, I've been to that old city stand that is supposed to have the best there. and they were basicaly the same as up north, just slightly different.. nothing to write home to mom about description at he http://www.sycbd.gov.cn/channel/0006...11226_0001.asp |
