 | Our first day in Beijing we had lunch in a nice restaurant near Beijing Union University. The entrees are served on the lazy susan so that all can share the food. The dish in the middle in Peking Duck, which is served with the flat tortilla-looking things to the left. |
| We ate lunch and supper in the cafeteria. Each meal had 5 to 8 entrees that were served on a lazy susan. We always had more food than we could eat and there was always something for everybody to eat regardless of hers/his culinary preferences. Ron, Jeung-Eun, Rebecca, and Marianne preparing to eat. |  |
 | Supper in the cafeteria. We often had a dish made of fish. |
| These eggs have been soaked in a brine solution for about 2 weeks, which causes the yolks to turn red. You can buy these eggs wherever eggs are sold. The Chinese eat many different types of eggs that have been processed in several different way. |  |
 | This is dragon fruit, which comes from Southern China and Vietnam. The markets have many different fruits and vegetables that one does not normally see in the U.S. |
| Jeung-Eun, Xiaoting, and Ron are getting a lesson in how to make Chinese dumplings (jiaozi) from the chef in the cafeteria. Dumplings are basically a thin shell of dough with something inside, often pork, and then boiled to cook the shell. |  |
 | The dumplings that we made. |
| Another fish dish in the cafeteria. |  |
 | This is the menu from Fang Shan, a restaurant in Behai Park, which serves a menu of items that the emperor was to have eaten. The food is very good. |
| This is the first round of food at Fang Shan. These are a variety of tapas |  |
