I am also inclined toward the bold and hearty sheng's.. along with all sorts of other odd strong flavored foods that people at work often complain about as being unpalatable and too strange for human consumption. I also come from a long line of fog dwellers it seems...but I still don't understand the Chinese disdain for moldy cheese.. or any sort of cheese for that matter. I suppose that's where our paths fork on the road.Mighty Tea Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655155569359131117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-14567929046090092382013-05-05T09:00:33.301-07:002013-05-05T09:00:33.301-07:00The trick as the movie version says is not minding...The trick as the movie version says is not minding of course.

I think you must have some sort of genetic advantage in thriving on young sheng. Between you, apache, and a few others- we should figure out the genetic markers. Unless of course it's the same trick from Lawrence of Arabia.<br /><br />Hhsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-71037921305794268192013-05-03T01:44:24.974-07:002013-05-03T01:44:24.974-07:00Dear Hster,
