another day, another.....lunch. I managed to convince them that if I had another piece of seafood I'd grow fins, jump into the sea and swim away so we had a wonderfully bland meal of chicken and mushroom soup, duck, BBQ pork, pepper beef, chow mein and vegetables. It was delicious.

The fish I can cope with, but am shuddering at the snakes and frogs sydneylizzie · 2010-11-06: 06:49

Aww, poor snake. Sounds like a great lunch! Liiisa · 2010-11-06: 06:53

Gag! We had salmon, asparagus and spaghetti. JenPat · 2010-11-06: 07:07

Yum! The only thing I don´t eat are eyeballs and...erm...bits. rezinka · 2010-11-06: 07:26

Hmmm lunch! Quailia · 2010-11-06: 07:56

excuse my language but...Fuck you Jen! Don't get me wrong, i love chinese food. But i've been eating out morning noon and night for over a month and i just want a lamb roast or something! sarez · 2010-11-06: 09:43

and the frogs reminded me far too much of cane toads to be able to consider them a foodstuff. sarez · 2010-11-06: 09:45

I remember being presented with one of the chinese 'mystery foods' when I was there. lots of debate at the table over one item... sort of like a fish backbone, but meatier... turned out to be snake... it wasn't bad. but then i had eaten eel in holland. kitegypsy · 2010-11-06: 11:15

Pass... Oweena · 2010-11-06: 12:44

snake not super appetizing to me I'm 'fraid... (that said, things like crawfish and bluecrabs prolly look gross to people not used to eating them), still... thisismizb · 2010-11-06: 19:09

I love seafood but that could have turned me into a vegitarian. Sending you warm thoughts of steak and potatoes. moxxxie · 2010-11-06: 19:48

I will confess that I coughed up for a steak at the hotel retaurant last night....steak, potatoe gratin, sauteed mushrooms, spinach and a bottle of Hungerford Hill Shiraz. Cost $110 amd was worth every cent. Got the other half of the bottle here and think I might get a woodfired pizza delivered to my room tonight. I used to give David grief about ordering overpriced pizza and wine when he was always travelling. Now I TOTALLY get it so I sent him a message last night to apologise. sarez · 2010-11-06: 22:29

Hmm.. Not my choice for lunch! Sare--know exactly what you mean re: having 'normal' food when away for longer periods of time! ifpics · 2010-11-07: 06:18

Pizza is a wonderful idea. moxxxie · 2010-11-07: 07:11

having a G&T now, the pizza is on it's way! sarez · 2010-11-07: 07:37

Oh i wanna be sick. All those poor poor creatures. ShangriLa · 2010-11-07: 16:59

Fish I can cope with - but frogs and snakes... blecch. MelanieO · 2010-11-07: 17:18
