lol
I'm a huge fan of Americanized Chinese food- you know, those highly commercialized buffets... I really want to go to China someday and try some traditional Chinese cooking from their homeland... Although, I'll pass on the scorpions.

I am adventerous when it comes to food. And I like American-Chinese food. I am the one who will automatically choose something on a menu that no one else would. lol

I was going to say. Those that enjoy Chinese food here in the states are not tasting it the way it is made in China. When I went to Hong Kong I tried some of the dishes that I was somewhat familiar with. Very much a different taste. I actually found it quite bland in Hong Kong.

Ah, the China I am so used to!!!!!
YouTube - Dog for Dinner
This video really captures the atmosphere of wandering around the food establishments of any Chinese city (maybe witht he exception of Hong Kong).
One thing I am lloking forward to is that someone going with me soon has never been to China and has never tasted dog -- but she says she is up to it. When I was in Ping Yow I was not aware dog was a traditional Chinese birthday meal. What a coincidence that my son ordered boiled dog -- and ordered a second helping on his birthday.
I prefer the stir fry version.

That actually made me nauseous. I couldn't watch all of it. All I could think of was my own dog which I love as a member of my family.

I am not sure if I would eat dog. Maybe if it was put before me and not displayed in a window like in a butcher's shop.
The only things I've eaten would probably be tame compared to that. I have had frog legs and rabbit.

I can understand that -- people feel like they are eating their pet. One time I was with someone who said they would eat cat, but not dog, because they didn't like cats but had always had dogs for pets.
Another time someone thought all the talk of dog meat was just some isolated thing in China but we were on our way to a fancy Peking duck restaraunt just after getting situated at our hotel and the first thing she saw practically was a street vender preparing dog kebobs. She didn't throw up then, but she did when she went to use a public bathroom for the first time.

In the markets you can get entire toads on a stick as well as rabbit on a stick.

Markets are fun. I've never been to China but do wish I could go there someday. I've been to France though as a study abroad student and the open markets are also fun. The most intresting thing was seeing live rabbits and chickens. My American brain was thinking about the rabbits, Oh it's a pet. lol
