The Delicious Hams of Zhouzhang
OK, I have to admit, I didn't try these beautiful specialty hams of Zhouzhang. I was so full from lunch I could barely walk!
But they looked and smelled fantastic.
So far, everything I thought was unusual or unique to China is actually pretty easy to find in the SF Bay Area, so I hope to have another chance.
This is in the touristy part of Zhouzhang, which I am told is something like Venice, Italy, for its charming canals.
Like a lot of places in China, if someone invites you in off the street to have a cup of tea or a beer, do not go! It will cost about 100 times what it should. Well, if you must, at least ask how much before you order. Duo xiao? "dew-oh sha-ow" or how much? We paid $30 US for green tea! Don't let it happen to you.
