Chinese food group 1 brainstorm

    Well I have never been to China and the closest to authentic chinese food that I can get is Panda Express, but I was in Vietnam this summer and it sounds as though the customs are very similar. I had frog legs and pig intestines. Never again. I think that just as interesting as the food choices were the customs at the dinner table. Eating on the floor, family style eating, having really no manners while eating. These are all things that I think that if we are gonna serve food during our presentation that we should incorporate into the presentation. It would be cool to just clear the desks out and make everyone sit on the floor. Maybe teach everyone how to use chopsticks.

    It sounds bad but I didn't know that sushi wasn't chinese, thats a bummer

    The moon cakes are a great idea. Let's definitely get after that. I think that it is important to talk about what actually is chinese food and what isn't because the difficulty with this topic is that people think that they have nothing to learn about it, and this would be a great opportunity to tear down that wall and establish a wall of facts.
