What food do you think of when you think of Beijing?

I will believe you are rich when you tell me something only a rich
person would know. Where have you travelled? have you skied in the
Italian alps? A rich person would know the best place to say in the
alps. Where is that?

Any airline stewardess can give you the answers to those questions,
Mark, but how many rich airline stewardesses do you know? As to the last
question, I rather like Saanen.

shut up venning. I'm talking to richasiankid. He does not know
because he's too poor to have ever been to europe, nevermind a fancy
resort in the alps.

Mark, when you do not include the post to which you reply, how could I
know to whom you were referring? Incidentally, have you ever been to Saanen?
I prefer it to Interlaken.

Actually I'm dumb and poor. I even sing opera by the street corner.
Happy now?

Chou Doffu (the most awful smelling food I've ever encountered).

That's a Taiwanese delicacy, I've never seen it (or smelled it) in
Beijing. OTOH, I live in a city with a very large Taiwanese population,
and there are restaurants here that serve stinky tofu, and it's popular
at street fairs and festivals. You can literally smell it a block from
where it's cooking.

It tastes better than it smells.

Especially after a couple of beers.

Good point. I would personally like to hear what food *you* think of when you think of Beijing. Let's see if our tastes are similar.

I can't believe this lame topic has as many responses is it does.
