McDonalds is OK.

There is nothing wrong with a little McDonalds 

when you choices for food are the following:

 

Snake.

 Cicadas.

 and Starfish...to name a few.

Crawfish...China Style

Chicken on a Stick...China Style.

I went to college at Ole Miss.  We eat chicken-on-a-stick there. It comes from the Chevron station, is deep fried tenders marinated in crack something fabulous on a stick and and its  addictive.  It is very popular with Freshman and drunk people and sober people and pretty much everyone who is lucky enough to be on Oxford.

There are facebook pages for this Mississippi delicacy, odes and songs. 

For Example:

  

Ode to Chevron's Chicken on a Stick

By Peter | June 15th, 2008

Oh crunchy delight !

so crispy, so juicy

so deep fried with love

it’s like you’ve been sent from way up above

So easy to eat, and so quickly consumed

can, though, sit in the stomach like a full blown balloon

Take heed, dear gals, as you inhale this perfection

as, minutes later, it might feel, quite like you’re expecting

A key component to every frosh 15

it’s also rumored to be polio’s alternative vaccine

A no finer snack can be found after midnight

for locals and students needing assistance to stand upright

But, there is a lot of distance between Oxford and Beijing....

And this gives a whole new meaning to chicken-on-a-stick.

Fresh Herbs and Sweetened Bean Curd

I went out with friends to a herb garden on an outlaying island of HK.We hiked to the beach and then we ate bean curd, sweetened with ginger sugar.  Bean curd is a type of tofu and the sugar was brown sugar with crystallized ginger.  The sugar was my favorite part...

I ate it.
