Review by teacrew - Invitation to a Banquet: The Story of Chinese Food

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Genuinely learned a lot. Like how Chinese character for home 家depicts a pig under a roof!

How many words and characters there are for mouthfeel in chinese like 滑嫰爽糯 and how big of a part of eating it is.

Mantou has a werid history - meaning barbarian heads!!

And how vegetarian buddhist food is treated in china.
