Food

I think I spoke too soon when I said that food is better here. I've had some really hard experiences lately where I've disappointed everyone - the people treating us to eat and my poor husband who can't understand why I have trouble eating the food here. Well, no matter the trials, I can now add more to my list of new things I've tried.

• Goose. I first saw it whole, cooked with legs, feet, neck, head, beak and eye balls. Then I watched it be chopped up, with goose liquids spraying with each chop.
• Clam pudding. With whole, open clam shells in it.
• Eel. It had eel skin still attached.
• Thousand-year-old Egg. Not sure why it's called that, but I don't want to know.

I gagged on all but the eel.
