Dining Family Style – China Tour

Yes, that’s me in the picture. We’re all dining Chinese family style. What happens is that a multitude of dishes are brought to the table and everyone helps themselves. Not such a problem, until you realize there are no serving spoons or utensils. Then you realize that everyone is using the same chopsticks that they’re eating with to get the food off of the serving dish. I would have liked to ask if anyone had seen any serving spoons, but I couldn’t really get my point across to my Chinese hosts. Someday, I predict a serious outbreak of some type of virus in China.
