You can take the boy out of the Chinese village…
Even in multi-million dollar (correction: Yuan) condos, old habits die hard in China. The fact these fish were outside an office begs a question or two:
- Do people routinely take large fish to work with the purpose of drying them?
- How is this written up on your performance evaluations. Motivated self-starter. Occasionally distracted by outside influences of a culinary nature. ?
I’ve spent an afternoon or two watching fish dry from my balcony. It’s not as bad as watching paint dry, but close. That begs further questions but I’ll leave them be.
Someone has to be responsible for lunch, don’t they?

I’m with Ron on this one. Lunch, dinner, someone’s gotta take care of it!
Corinas last blog post..This is just to say…
Ron, Corina: You make a valid point, but, dried fish isn’t a “prep at work” sort of meal. Maybe he/she is doing long-term meal planning.
Yeah, you don’t see this too much around here…
Although, when I lived in Phoenix (which is a little hotter than Tucson), if we’d get up to 115 or higher people would try to be funny and crack raw eggs on sidewalks.
The scary thing is, they actually do cook if you leave them there long enough.

I’ve seen people in Iceland hang fish on a clothes line to dry them but never on a sidewalk to dry
Quickroutes last blog post..What did we do before the internet?
When I was in Korea recently I saw plenty of dried fish. I definitely wasn’t brave enough to try any of it myself. I also noticed a lot of squid and I’m still kicking myself for not getting a picture of the piles of Squid sold by vendors at the Korean-American Friendship festival I attended.

Ha.
Last week, I went to Coney Island and saw fish on display just like that.
“Porgys 10 for $5.”

Very nice. I like how neatly the fish have been arranged too on a white table cloth. All you need is knives and forks and salt and pepper.

yb: Some things are better left undiscovered.
QR: The Icelandians must be more advanced.
BM: Squid is one of my faves. I eat it BBQ’d.
Truce: No fish is good fish.
Lee: Fish crosses all international borders.
AJ: Pepper? On fish? Perhaps, I guess.
It’s making me hungry.
cfimagess last blog post..Kinmen’s Military Bunkers
No pepper? Ah, but then I don’t eat fish, not even dried ones.
Craig: I’ll grab a few the next time I see them.
AJ: Are we talking about black pepper, white pepper, or hot pepper?
