Chinese Cooking Channel

I've found some great TV over here! There is a Chinese cooking channel in Dalian. It's SOOOO disgusting! Most of the stuff they are cooking I can't even describe. Weird sea creatures, bottom feeding fish, and other animals....things we would never think about touching, let alone catch, kill, and eat.

You can't understand what's going on, but by certain sounds and gestures you can tell they can't wait to try it. EVERYTHING they cook is rooter to the tooter! They don't discard anything! Everything is getting cooked. One chef finished cooking a fish...as his co-chef complimented him, he plucked the eye ball out of the fishes head and ate it! UGGHHHHH!!! But funny! I can't tear myself away! It's the best thing on TV....of course that isn't saying much!

There is so much weird stuff that they eat! It's unbelievable! The best is watching them get excited to try the finished product. Usually the dish looks like some kind of West Virginia hillbilly stew....They can't get enough!

It seems like everything goes in with it's head on...or chopped off and in with the other parts.

When they cook chicken, they chop the whole thing up, bones and all. Chinese people love pieces of bone with tiny chunks of meat attached. They think that is the best. If you give them a chicken breast, they will throw it away fighting each other for the wing tips...or chicken feet!

It's great to watch though! Survivor could have a never ending reward challenge off this channel!
