The Freshest Cuisine - Jan. 28, 2009

---

According to the locals, Chao Zhou has the freshest cuisine in China.

I met my plump brown bird just before it was feathered, thrown in a tub of cold water, and finally cooked. The bird rice porridge was a first for me. Glad I didn't meet the frogs before eating frog rice porridge (1st time). Was offered some frog skin but declined. It's all so delicious and disturbing.

I am so far removed from the food processing and distribution process. I'm used to seeing things frozen and pre-packaged. This adds a whole new dimension to organic, cage free, grass fed, etc..

A couple of more times of meeting the animal kingdom only to have them become my meal will surely turn me into a vegetarian for life.

Alls I got to say is "Damn, that's fresh!"
