8.14.10 - take a guess

so tonight i had the privilege of going over to a new friend's house for dinner. jing and her husband ye are from china and recently went home. tonight they had a group of us over for real homemade chinese food and to show us the pictures of their trip.

among all the delicious food was this platter that displays the most talked about item of the evening. just for fun, take a guess at what the darker grayish item on the tray is and i will come back and post the answer here on friday! :)

*****so...j, you were close - it was pig's tongue!! i wasn't quite brave enough to try it. most everyone else did though and said it tasted sort of like ham...which makes sense. but i'll just stick with actual ham... :) *****
