This weekend we hosted a small BBQ party at our new apartment. We served some homemade Chinese-style ribs with a healthy portion of fruits and salads. Unfortunately, I forgot that there are folks that cannot or do not pork or beef, for religious or personal reasons. Fortunately, there was enough other foods to satisfy these guys. :P I respect these people very much, but I feel sorry for them because I feel that they are missing out. As an ethnic Chinese, I eat just about anything and everything. Food is great! I love to taste all that different cultures have to offer. On Sunday, we went to the LA Sister City Festival. There we got a chance to see and taste what a select 21 cultures had to offer. We didn't get a chance to eat much as we had some leftover ribs for lunch not too long ago. But, we had sample some El Salvadorian food. Yummy pupusas! Anyway, all this talk of tasting new foods, got me thinking about the times I have tried to introduce my non-Chinese friends to Cantonese dim sum. Many people will ask what's in a particular dumpling or grimace at the sight of chicken feet on the table... Anyway, life is short. If you can't travel all over the world, the least you can do while you're here (esp LA) is to taste as much of life as possible!
