That’s a duck foot in my soup, yes it is…
Today is the first time so far (and, I imagine, first of many times this will happen during this project) that I have ‘missed’ the photo opportunity to sum up my day. Right when I walked in my door, it dawned on me what would have been the perfect photo for today: something like this, except minus all the English parts. Basically: I went to have hand pulled noodles at this super authentic, no-one-speaks-English-really place with another friend who doesn’t speak Mandarin or read Chinese. The menu had English on it, but was inaccurate (patato dumplings? Do the Chinese make gnocchi?), and there was a slight communication barrier… but the worst was the entire menu on the wall in Chinese! Maybe we could have ordered something AMAZING that wasn’t on the menu in English! Haha. (I ordered duck but didn’t expect to, um, find a foot in my soup.)

Yeah, if only you knew someone who spoke Mandarin and also loves noodles… sigh.
Sarah says
aw, duck foot. i can see how finding one in your soup would be disconcerting.
