    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 was just watching a spanish language news report.

    China is at it again!

    Apparently, counterfeit ciggies are being made in China and sent to Panama.

    The fake smokes have cow and rat crap in them. People are buying them because of the cheap prices-thinking they are buying real cigarettes.

    In one interview with a street vendor, the seller stated that he didn't know where they came from, he just sold them.


    Nice.

    I hope this brings something to light: To the Western world, China looks like a looming competitor. The truth is that it's not.

    It's taking a small percentage of cities and speeding them ahead while the rest of the country wallows in sorrowful neglect. I saw this in the televised Chinese news. The production of these buns take place in a very very poor rural neighborhood (literally, some random guy's home). China is really despicable sometimes.
