Our 4th eating adventure, and the last truly strange one, was at a noodle house in downtown Guangzhou. It was decorated very nicely and the waitstaff wore traditional clothing that represented the area in Northern China were the food was from. We were expecting really nothing more than noodle dishes, but our guides surprised us one last time. They ordered us blood sausage (very similar to the gelled blood from earlier, only in a sausage casing instead of sliced from a mold) and something called pig jelly. I'm still not sure how that was made, but it was a clear jello type substance with bits of pork fat inside. It had absolutely no taste though. The biggest surprise of the night was the dish of dark brown meat in a sauce, which we were informed was donkey meat. It tasted very good, however I've been yelled at by a few people for eating this because they said its too closely related to horse meat and horses are our friends. |
