Had a great night out last night and just wanted to share it with everyone right away! :) It was a friends/coworkers birthday dinner at a Japanese restaurant. This restaurant barely exists as it is just a small little door on the outside with 2-3 tables on the first floor. Hidden in the back was a set of stairs that barely fit an American body. When we got upstairs we were greeted and told us to take off our shoes before entering our eating area. It was such a cute place. It was all you can eat... so we order a whole bunch of stuff. We ate all sorts of things and I even tried salmon and quail eggs. I almost passed on the quail eggs but Lauren and another coworker (Mark) said "Hey I am being adventurous!" So I decided to go for it! I actually thought that it would be exciting to tell everyone that I tried quail eggs and how shocked everyone would be! But... I have an even better tale to tell :)
So we got all types of foods and meats (It was probably the lowest carb meal I have had in China). We got a sizzling meat platter and then meat on a stick. I told everyone that I hate eating stuff that looks like beef because it could be any type of meat and never know it. So we got the meat on the stick and it was DELICIOUS! I even grab another stick! :) Later on in the night we decided to order more of this delicious dish. We picked up the sticks and gestured that we wanted more of whatever was on the stick. The lady goes "OHHHHH" and points to the item on the menu: COW TONGUE! Yes ladies and gents thats right Meghan ate cow tongue and LIKED IT! And in case you were wondering we did order more and ate it! :) I was a tad bit freaked out but hey... I'm in China! :)
Pics of me eating it will be posted later! :)
You use to scarf down pureed liver when you were only months old. I'm not suprised that you liked it, I'm just suprised that you even TRIED it! No telling what might come next...
