One of the many sides to the trip was the contact with the background of the Chinese eating habits. A list: cut open and roasted dogs, snakes rodents and turtles on restaurant displays, pigs and chickens in tiny baskets, the cumbersome harvest and drying of rice, etc etc. And to be honest, nothing of this appalled me. Actually, it makes clear the artificial eating culture of the west: we dont understand the nature of our food. In China every aspect of food is wide open and visible. That said, this understanding is not enough to eat half a chicken skull or any turtle soup. Interested observation, ok. Chewing on a pig hoof, can't do, no no no.
