Hangzhou, China
This is a meal a reader in China sent of her family’s celebratory dinner for the Dragon Boat Festival. Can’t tell you how cool I think this is, you readers all over the world, sending in these great pictures. Many, many thanks.

Dang, I meant for this to go up tomorrow night. I don’t normally post two VFYTs in a row. I screwed up the scheduling. I’m not going to take this one down and repost it tomorrow now that there’s a comment. Apologies.

Chinese home cooking is so different from Chinese restaurant food in the West. The sender of this picture is my daughter who went to a Dragon Boat celebration at the home of some relations of ours in Hangzhou (not Huangzhou).

Sorry I got the name of the city wrong. I’ve fixed it in the post.

Quelle table somptueuse. I may have to rethink my attitude to Chinese cuisine. I worked with a guy who was married to a Chinese woman and he never ate in Chinese restaurants. His mother-in-law never trusted them! My sentiments as well. But home-cooked chez un ami I would indulge.
To calibrate the above, I would never eat frog legs (cuisses de grenouille). Ni grenouilles ni chiens ni chats. Pouah!
Fascinating. I don’t even know what all that is, but it makes me hungry. It brings to my mind the book “What the World Eats” http://www.amazon.com/What-World-Eats-Faith-DAluisio/dp/1582462461, which I so enjoyed looking at–my children liked it too. It inspired me to pay more attention to variety.
