China opening up to gastronomic delights

MARKET FORCES Besides fried silkworm grubs and various animal genitalia, Beijingers are now trying out raw fish from Japan and even bangers, mash and baked beans

THE GUARDIAN , BEJING

Throughout the city, eateries and bars are now spreading at a stomach-churning pace.

Even the service has improved. But some Beijingers are shocked by changes, especially the weird dishes available.

The raw fish served at Japanese restaurants is quite a shock to many locals. As is the bangers, mash and baked beans at the English pubs. It's only a matter of time before someone asks me: "Do people really eat this stuff in your country?"

I will advise them to try the food before making a judgment.

Or, at least, to get their reckless friends to take the first bite on their behalf.
