After finishing all of the interviews in Wuhan, we went out for a good dinner at a huge restaurant (three floors) in downtown Wuhan. The food was excellent. Looking at the menu, though, I was worried.   I hoped we wouldn’t try some of the more “realistic” dishes.   We didn’t, but I had a great time looking like a tourist snapping pics of the dishes.

Check out some of these crazy dishes. My favorite title is “Crystal Snakehead Slice”. It’s kinda freaky when you’re in the mood for “Roasted Lamb” then you actually get the entire lamb roasted, complete with roasted eyes staring off into space. The third picture is some sort of insect cocoon…maybe a cicada?   I don’t know.   Ack.   Also, would you like to eat the jaws of a duck? I guess it’s just me.

Here are some shots of more conservative food that we ate. (left) Tasty sticky rice meatballs with Mingjie and Sally in the background.   (right) This is a little sweet corn dumpling thing with a bit of meat inside.
