1. Apple Sauce 2. Chocolate
3. TOMATO SAUCE
All three made this dessert even better.
At the request of Mrs. Conching and the 3C Students, here are some pictures of the various foods that we have eaten. As a person who has "specific needs" when eating, I have been thrilled to try different foods that I would have never tried in America. The food here is SPICY, so my allergies have never felt more clear in my LIFE. Ha ha. Here are some pictures of our meals here in Wuhan, Hubei Province and some from our stop in Seoul, South Korea: Some of the images below may be . . . Yes, those are FROGS chilling in their bath waiting to be bought for . . . a nice sauna. Ha ha. Actually, frog is sold by street vendors. In Hubu Alley, a famous street in Wuhan; the whole frog was served on a stick, much like a Popsicle. I have to work up the courage to eat this. Ha ha. Our lunch today (11/21/13) was beef stomach. At first I thought this was cut up steak or pork, so I was glad to eat it. I was enjoying my meal, eating what I thought was pork or steak, then the teacher came in and told me what it was . . . yeah. Needless to say I was proud of myself and even more proud of Ms. Frank for eating, or in my case trying, the beef stomach. This is the snack bar at Wuhan Changqing no.1 Middle School. IT'S LIKE A 7-11. They have got all types of drinks: sodas, water, coffee, lattes, etc. They also have GUM for the students. The snack bar sells hot foods as well as various baked goods for the students to purchase while at school. This past weekend, Ms. Frank, our teacher friend Ms. Emma, and myself tried deep fried bananas at Hubu Alley. This was an excellent dish. They have three sauces that go on top: 1. Apple Sauce 2. Chocolate 3. TOMATO SAUCE All three made this dessert even better. These are some of the snacks I found in the Supermarket near Changqing Garden. These are chicken feet and chicken leg pieces for people to snack on. My red flags went RIGHT UP, as I have some concerns about eating chicken with bone. I am sure this is super delicious, but this snack is just not appetizing to me.

Congrats on your food adventure! The food look yummy! Let us know when you decide to try the frogs. ☺ I’ve never seen frogs served on a stick, but they are usually a stir-fry dish served beautifully on a nice platter in Chinese restaurants. They are in fact very delicious, considered to be a delicacy. Beef stomach is what we call “beef tripe” here in the US. They serve it in various restaurants in Hawaii. Please keep the pictures coming! Looking forward to your next blog. I enjoy reading Stevenson and Justin’s blogs as well.
