Food

Yes, it's true: the Chinese eat many things that we would not think about eating, in Europe. Yet, with a little bit of courage, if you you give it a shot, many things are not so bad as they seem on first sight.

Like these silk worms, or rather, the cocoons of silk worms, that I ate last weekend in a restaurant in Fuzhou that specialises in northern Chinese cuisine. The cocoons are fried, with a bit of salt I think, and then eaten after dipping them in a mixture of salt, pepper and sesame. Ok, it will never be my favourite food, but ... they were quite tasty!
