Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
Can't help but notice that the organized dinner wasn't very Chinese, or didn't sound very Chinese. I mean, Apple with Honey and Osmanththus SAuce as a main dish?

Can't help but say "me, too". Go to a Chinese fast food chain at least...(Well, GZ has one, don't know if BJ does.) Dumpling shops, noodle shops.
People say you gotta roast the dog first to give it a roast aroma of some sort. Otherwise it taste like regular mutton.

FRom left to right
Now for some real decent food, thats my untouched hamburger at a bar and eatery called LUSH, offering Western food and drink, the two guys in the 2nd photo claimed to be Tibetean Students. They were pretty much out of it having spent a bit of time on that pipe thingy and drinking. They were also regular patrons of LUSH where it was taken.
3rd photo Some good old Beijing University cafateria food. the guy wiping his mouth is an American, teaching Phd students English.
I did try some of this street vendor stuff.... mmm not bad

Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
When I was in China, I make it a point never to give anything to the beggars. And for good reason too... many of the beggars (as you have said it) are professional beggars... that is their job... and many made use of kids (do cruel things to these kids) to get sympathy out of you. And lastly... if you give one beggars, you will be swatting beggars off your back for the rest of your trip because they will be swarming you from all over the place.
Back to food...
Have any of you been to the beer festival in Qingdao? I think it is around November... And man, it is fine!

Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
Where did they get the duck? Those are some HUGE pieces of duck meat! I thought the Peking ducks are supposed to be cut into small pieces, 108 pieces to be exact. Yep, I am not kidding. Authentic Peking duck should be cut into exact 108 pieces, no more and no less. And only bones should be left after the cutting. Each piece should have some lean meat, some fat and the skin.

Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
Then why are the Crepes so large?
The other place I went to was supposedly a 4/5 star place served it out in a similar fashion, but unfortunately the pics are on the other camera with my wife.
All in All I an enjoyable experience, if not a bit like that british comedy program "Fawlty Towers" ( I had a hassle with the security guards or whatever you call them at the Beijing Campus entrance and some parts of the uni as my Temp id card/ had no photo and was not allowed into the library, over here anyone can walk into the campus grounds and buildings.and thank goodness I did not have to report myself to the police if I got stolen)

Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
If that's what you are talking about, then the NZ recipe is definitely very different from the originals. I can imagine preserved mustard greens being banned, but taro is a staple of Polynesians and I am guessing the Maori are no exception... I know New Zealand isn't very taro farming, but.........
Anyway, 扣肉 is atraditionally Hakka dish and has two main versions, one with taro (very thick and excellent to mix with rice!) and the other with the preserved greens.(a lot more soy and watery.) It does take a long time to make especially with all the frying (Pork and taro. Starches like taro and potato are always better fried!) but a pressure cooker, especially with the taro version, is very helpful, especially if you like your taro soft and mushy.
I've never heard of it getting a cold water dunk.
As for hair/seaweed, this?
