Intestines, anyone? 1
Before taking the HSR (High Speed Rail) to Kenting for the Fulbright Mid-Year Conference, FSE had us stay in Taipei for one night. Since we were close to Ximending, we decided to go there for dinner and to meet up with our friend Kat. We at dinner at the famous Chang Zi Mian Xian restaurant where you eat noodles in a bowl standing up. There are no tables or chairs, instead there’s just a bunch of people crowded around this shop holding their bowl of soup.
As we slurped down our noodles, Eric realized there was something white and chewy in his bowl. He asked, “What’s this? Squid?” The Taiwanese lady standing nearby replied, “No,” paused to think and then continued, “it’s intestines”. After discovering the true identity of the mysterious meat, Eric refused to eat any of his intestines, leaving them all to gather at the bottom of his bowl.
When he finished, Eric turned to me and Deborah and asked, “Do you want my intestines?” Charming, isn’t he?
