Back to the age-old question, “Why are Chinese people so thin and trim?” Diet? Exercise? Genetics? General lifestyle? Of course, it’s all of those. Here are some typical snacks in China. (Compare these to a Coca Cola and a Snickers candy bar or a plate of nachos for American snacks and you can see the impact of diet!)
A favorite with me and Sprite. Boiled eggs, soaked in a savory soup so that it enters the shells and permeates the entire egg.
A big favorite in popsicles — green pea. Seriously!
I think that this is sweet, but I have never dared to try it. In my way of thinking, peas are a vegetable that were never meant to be frozen on a stick!
Being a pickle lover, this is one snack that I enjoy.
This is turnip root, pickled. You can eat it with or without the accompanying spice — a combination of hot pepper, salt, and peanuts.
