Growing up, my family occasionally visited Chinese
restaurants. I liked the food. As I got older, I realized that Chinese food in
American has been Americanized. So, when I came to Chinese, I knew not to
expect to see any sweet and sour chicken or mu shu pork. I did not, however,
expect to see any bread.
China, it turns out, has a lot of bread. Of course, there is
the Western, imported stuff. But, there is also Chinese bread. In northern
China, wheat, not rice, is grown. So, this part of China has bread and noodles.
I never expected this.
A lot of the bread is different than what I’m used to. For
starters, the bread is often steamed instead of baked. Also, there are several
types of flatbread. Everything, though, has been good.
So, if you’re ever in
China, remember to pass the bread basket!
