This guy had a good three hundred skewers of lamb with garlic and peppers, seasoned with turmeric and cumin, roasting over hot coals (2 RMB each). I am a sucker for lamb kidney on a stick (1 RMB each).

ReplyDeleteOn my first week in China I was taking buses and trains from Laos to Beijing by myself, with no guidebooks or anything. I came across a small alley with lots of food vendors, in Xi'an I believe. I saw one making lamb skewers with cumin. Looked delicious. I made a gesture for 10 with all my fingers, the guy looked a bit puzzled and he made a gesture that looked like a + sign. Later I learned that meant 10 in chinese finger gestures. I made the + sign with my fingers twice more that evening and enjoyed some cold Tsingtao beer! Best evening of vagabonding ever.
That's such a great story of how you learned your hand gestures! They do come in handy when buying stuff, don't they? Coincidentally, I'll be heading to Qingdao, home of Tsingtao, in just a few days, so I'll likely be trying out the DG-Vagabond diet.
