Anybody believe eating shark fin soup or bird nest soup is good?
 

(i've been in Hong Kong a few days)

They cost a lot and don't taste that great. But Chinese people believe eating it will be good for health, will give you good skin and complexion. Does anybody believe this?

Seems to make sense.. if it's disgusting it must be good for you, right?

Anybody believe that Contact asks some really peculiar questions?

'I am sure, sweet Kate, this kindness merits thanks.
What, not a word? Nay, then thou lovest it not;
And all my pains is sorted to no proof.
Here, take away this dish.'

Shark fin is also supposed to increase your libido (i watch a lot of HK films & there's often reference to it). I don't think that's necessarily true, but they might be rather healthy??

Incidentally, I'm jealous that your in HK... I want to visit there someday!

YES.

gross.

bird's nest??? what do they do--take the twigs and stuff and grind it up? or take the newborn baby birds and kill them???

this thread is odd

WOW, Ya Kids are Great! I drink olive juice and eat pecans to stay the way I am!

Could be nuts tho!

I am going to try to fix the Damn Turkey again, well the other half that I did not eat for Thanksgiving as was still trtying to get off off of the plate!

Wish me luck! Do have instant taters, stove top as then with the Turke may be good to good! More to come at a later time:( One is hoping?

Going to do a peach pie I think. But got store bought ice cream! Hell should have gotten stuff to make mine, is better!:)

I think it tastes good. I'm sure it has some healing abilities as well. All of my mom's soups have healing abilities according to her.

I am not sure who asks the stupidest questions. Contact or Dinosis.

LOL, we're talking about swallow's nest, made of their saliva, we're not talking about cardinal's nest. :D

Sure I do believe that those are good for you. Mind you, Chinese culture has been exsisting for more than 4,000 years. http://www.mostbeautifulmen.com/foru...s/approved.gif

I think this thread is great, and I want to visit Hong Kong again sometime! Rock on! http://www.mostbeautifulmen.com/foru...ilies/rock.gif

Give me an idea for the next one!

And you contact, are you a friend of Curiousgirl's ?

*edited* Moderator please LOCK this thread. This sadistic topic of ganking little chicks out of their nests and making soup from it, turns my stomach.

LOL.
