Articles : woody commented on news I’m Sure It’ll be Fine: Street Food and Food Safety Standards in China

You really have some poor comprehension skills. You asked "did I have a normal western diet". I stated that I was brought up on meat and 3 veg and IT was boring. Where did I mention anything of a dislike for pizza or other foods? That's is what we had day in day out when I was a kid. Rissoles, chops or sausages with ... Full Comment>>

Yes. Meat a 3 veg. Boring as bat shit. I just had a meal in a little Muslim hole in the wall place. Some soup made with lamb, some sort of wonton type dish which I made a sensational dipping sauce with chili and vinegar and some little lamb in flaky pastery sausage roll type things. Not to mention a tanghulu or 2 ... Full Comment>>

Agree. I am an Aussie, rarely eat in restaurants back home but I just enjoy wandering around and trying what takes my fancy here. I have been to China 6 times and stayed for up to 3 months at a time.
