It is always interesting watching the authentic Chinese living on the morning commute to work. Yesterday my driver took a small side street that we normally do not use. Seeing a food stand with kebobs laying over some coals, I asked him "Duo Shao Qian?” (how much?) He replied, “Pianyi” (cheap). Than he said “free” in English. I gave him a questioning look…”mao rou”, he says. “Mao rou?” Surely not. He nodded his head confidently. Mao is the word for cat. Rou is meat. Great…now I know where to get a cheap lunch time snack. He explained that this is why there are less stray cats lately. Never made the connection. Haven’t been eating the street food…not going to start….yuck!! I did ask him about dog meat…nope…only cats.
