The Dee End... 01/26/2010

Moving to CQ 4 months ago, I made a decision to assimilate into the Chinese culture.  The first stop:  food. 

We all know about Hot Pot.  A big ole Pot that’s as hot on the way out as on the way down.  But, as I have started to discover, Hot Pot is the tip of the iceberg…
A week ago I tasted my first “Bone Soup.”

The special treat of the meal is the bone (of course)!  The diners put on the glove, take a bone, and proceed to use the straw to suck out the bone marrow.  A bit of meat is on the bone as well, and can be gnawed off.

Overall, I was a bit perplexed by bone soup.  The straw was a bit much for me, but the marrow was quite tasty.  If your wanting a new adventure, check out one of the many Bone Soup shops around China.
