Q: i was insist by a chinese friend to eat.....
yesterday i went to a restaurant with some chinese friends and they ordered FROG nd ask me to eat that but i refused they insist me to eat that shit , did you ever got situation like that when are forced or insist by some one to eat some thing you cant even imagine of......
There was that chicken feet and I tasted a little bit, but couldn't finish it. Something about feet I just don't want to smell it or more so eat it. hahaha!
mozart2vienna:
indeed, chicken feeds are definitely not for beginners.
First time I ate them I had that impression that I would eat the hands of a little child. Next time I saw an image before my inner eye of how those chicken stand in their own shit for their entire lifetime.
But meanwhile, meanwhile, I got used to it and whenever I feel images of that sort coming up, I just turn my back and look in another direction ;o)
What doesn't kill you makes you just stranger.
mozart2vienna:
meant "feet" not "feeds". sorry.
Oh man, sometimes I really wonder how my poor English students should ever learn something useful from me.
But then ... he man, I guess we all have to pay our bills somehow.
Do I ask how their parents possibly managed to earn that much money so they can afford to pay me that much, hm? NO!
So then. Those little brats should just keep their mouths pretty closed and better stick their nose into the damned textbooks I sold to them recently.
Actually frog is pretty good and is usually cleaner than fish. You should have a more open mind; if you do your Chinese friends might be willing to help you with your grammar.
aroberts42:
I "did got" a problem with your grammar when you use it to try and pretend you aren't Chinese or, worse, to pretend you are American. As you can see, stereotypes that Americans have poor grammar and that Chinese have amazing grammar are not true. You should learn to be more authentic and true to yourself. And try frog; it's delicious!
:
did you saw any of my post where i post that i am from big AMERICA ,no i didn't post any thing like that and i am very happy and thanks to god that i am not from America because i got much less problems than Americans here...and i didn't pretend to be American......and if i wana pretend i am from some where at least i will select some better country not America thats all i got fr ya
Frog is pretty good. I use to eat frog legs all the time when I was a kid in the US. Some of my best memories of my father was when we went out to catch frogs to eat.
I have been offered many, many things to eat here in China that have seemed strange to me. And I always try everything that is put in front of me.
My philosophy is this: If 1.6 billion people can eat it, then so can I.
And honestly, the food here is part of the adventure of being here.
I would try frog. It's certainly more tempting than eating a bunch of small snails or chicken feet.
Where is your sense of adventure? You are in China... try something different.
Frog is yummy. I love frog legs. And that is the least of the weird you'll find to munch on in China
HugAPanda:
That depends on where you are from and how readily available they are.
I have eaten: frog, snake, rat, scorpion, chicken feet, rooster testicles, brains, guts, etc.
The ONLY thing I will not eat is dog. And that is what I warn my friends. When they ask me, to try something, i ask if it is dog. If they say no, I will try it.
I mean, coming TO China is the easy part! Why not eat (some) of what the locals eat! then, you can brag about it when you go home!
I was in a party about two years ago, and ordered a martini. Well, instead of an olive, they had a grasshopper. They told me it was customary in some Asian country, I just for the life of me cannot remember which.

HugaP and Jnus tied frog legs! Are you gonna let some girls beat ya???!!!
HugAPanda:
yeah! You gonna let gurlies kick your rump shaker when it comes to poundin down some frog? Frog is easy.
G!! Go to the Penis restaurant in Beijing.
Burp. Ohh I wonder if anyone who eats there is called a Sperm Burper?
GuilinRaf:
I wouldguess they are called "dicks" After all, one is what one eats....
i've never heard insist used that way. especially so often.
be a pucking man or woman and hold your ground. and dont come whining on this board. in america we take pride in holding our ground and refusing to bow to peer pressure. bowing to peer pressure is a sign of weakness. in chinese culture bowing to peer pressure gains face. so you've got it mixed up buddy.
any brit can tell me if if insist is used that way with british english?
tomcatflyer:
Your right Crim it definitely is not the way we use it. we would say insisted, being past tense, and we wouldn't use it so many times in such a short time. Makes you wonder why so many Chinese on here can't just be honest and admit they're Chinese rather than pretend to be American, English or whatever. You can usually spot them a mile off, they just don't realise how poor their English is sometimes.
GuilinRaf:
if they can fool us, that speaks volumes for their english ability.
But, they cannot, so.....
:
amercians............i have to say BUHAHAHHAHAHAHA ,some people never change and thts y they are called __________ guess it ?
according to food many people are trying to eat much of the things which i guess many of them have not tried it before but seriously, i will mention one thing in it , there are different religions in china, so some people do not eat whatever is put on the table for eating. And Mr. wajidkhann, kindly brief your chinese friends whenever you are going on to eat with them especially, if you have certain boundaries, let them understand it first. i hope you can explain to them what are your limits in foods.
Please stop pretending you are english.
:
me and english no way and surly u dont wana know where i am from ? and save your precious words fr some one else ,i think my question pissed you of
nevermind:
No it's you sitting here trying to pretend to be a foreigner that is pissing me off. Unless you're actually a foreigner trying to pretend to be Chinese in order to make them look stupid. If that's the case you are doing an excellent job!
:
yeah i am foreigner and i can proudly say that i am a foreigner and keep that in mind that foreigner are not only from America and if you are thinking like that then you should have to pack your things and go back and from every foreigners post on this site i can proudly say i am living much more better life than others and your problem is that my posts are pissing you off and you cant do any thing about that
nevermind:
Where are you from? WHy does your English have the characteristics of Chinglish?
aroberts42:
Not very "proud" of you to refuse to say where you are from.
Wajidkhannn is not Chinese, he is Middle Eastern, you can tell by his anti-west outlook on foreigners. At first I thought he was from India, but Indians have better English and grammar, not trying to piss you off Waji, I'm trying to state, as a doctor, didn't you sign a hipocratic oath, this should tell you to ease up a little. Frogs legs are enjoyed all over the world, not only in China, to be honest, they taste a bit like chicken. And try the donkey meat, it's amazing
Mr_spoon:
Donkey meat "sandwiches" are surprisingly good, to be honest. Not FANTASTIC, but, you know, good.
Waji, really it's quite good. Look, before I came to China, I would have never thought about eating donkey, frog legs yes, donkey no, but I was eating street food from a vendor. It's fast cheap and I can eat it on the way to catch a taxi, finally one day my wife asked me if I knew what I was eating, I said no but it's delicious, pork maybe, she said donkey, I stopped eating it for about 2 weeks, but I eventually went back to it. Don't try anything to taboo, but some of the things you must try as a professional with your co workers or boss, sheep brains and intestines, it's expensive and no one eats a lot but everyone eats a little
:
i never tried iit because it is forbidden for us i mean for Muslims, we can only eat halal food and i only buy my food stuff from halal market ,
diverdude1:
I ate donkey in Mexico. Good enough when u r escasez de comida...
Frog is perfectly normal here, if they introduce you to bugs or worms how would you feel? They are the kind of food that isn't normal for a Chinese diet but is something special so they wouldn't feel offended.
How would you feel if they refused to eat something you see as normal?
Have a sense of adventure, PLEASE don't be an expat that comes here to live like you're in your home country and not eat the local food or delicacies, even just to try!
sam239:
We eat snakes and alligators where I come from, but only as a delicacy. I've eaten some strange foods here but they really weren't that good, it was like they were eaten just to try to be strange rather than because they actually taste good.
hiddenjelly:
That's what I mean, sometimes you have to try something just because it's different. At least you then have stories to tell!
happywanderer:
Yeah, when you're confronted with grubs and brains that's the time to worry. Although sea slug is my personal hate. I will never understand why it's expensive because eating it is exactly like you'd imagine; rubbery.
frog,, haha,,,, in Taipei in1987 I had me some fresh Cobra blood and bile. :-)
what do I mean by fresh ? well,,, let's just say before I drank his blood and bile about 10 seconds earlier he was still crawling... lol did u know snakes still wriggle around after u cut their heads off & gut them ? fkn weird
