    Baozi (Char Siew Bao) is actually a favourite of mine. But I always buy them from a reputable source. I have heard that in China, anything goes into them.
    A friend of mine bought a can of nuts one Xmas, the product came from China, and when he opened the can, all that was inside was a dirty glove.

    Food for thought (maybe not food to eat !!!)

    No, this is a clear case of getting lost in the translation.

    Eat Your Fiber.

    Not

    Eat your fiberboard or Eat the fiber in cardboard.

    ----------------

    Does that count as recycling?

    -------------

    Hey!

    Think of it this way....less toilet paper used!

    -----------

    Seriously,

    If China is having problems feeding their people....too scary to think about.


    -------

    Soylent Green is people? the brown stuff is cardboard.

    ------


    THIS TASTES LIKE CARDBOARD!

    ---------

    "Dim Sum" nasty tasting dumplings!

    -------

    If they got the cardboard from the trash, would that make them REAL DUMPlings?


    I'll be here all week, Please take care of your servers!

    I hope that is based on KNOWING you are eating cardboard....The caustic soda ruins if for me.

    This reminds me of the time I was eating a sloppy burrito and came across the paper it was wrapped in....I wondered where the edges on the other side of the teeth marks went.

    I'm glad it's not true. I love stuffed steamed buns! I'll make sure I know their provenance, though!
