Another Food Story

Over the course of the next few months it may seem as though we tell tales often concerning food. As unentertaining as the subject may be, it seems to be at the center of our most adventuresome outings.
Though this food tale doesn't contain a hilarious story, the pictures may be what grabs your attention. While dining in a local restaurant the other day, we simply had no clue as to what we might should order. Thinking surely that this was a safe idea, we asked the waitress to just serve us whatever she likes. She told us of a tasty chicken dish and we said, "Sure that'll be fine." This, my friends, was no ordinary chicken dish. Served right on top of the big bowl of chicken parts and potatoes was the following item. If you were ever wondering what a boiled chicken foot might look like, well there you go. It's declawed of course. Needless to say, it somewhat ruined our appetite for anything else that this delicatessen might have in store. I'm not sure we'll ever return there. But before we left we saw the cutest person in all of China.

She brought her mom over to us, pointed at us, and in what she must have thought was a whisper said, "Mommy, look foreigners." (in Chinese of course) Then her mom knelt and did her best to explain what we were, meanwhile, Brandon snapped this picture.
Deciding we couldn't handle anymore local food for the day, we gave in to the magnetic pull of Magdonlao (McDonalds). We had our first foreign cooked french fries and hot fudge sundaes. Boy were they tasty.

And...for some odd reason our computer has stopped uploading pictures. (it's tempting to blame everything on govt propaganda, so that's what we'll go with here) So no pictures of our local McDonalds, sorry. But check out our link to the right to see the rest of our pictures.
