About

But there I was, in the oppressive heat of an Eastern China summer.  With no outdoor space of my own to cook in, I hit the streets.  BBQ's of all shapes and sizes pop up out of every nook and cranny.  Whole fish, legs of lamb, sides of beef, and pork shoulders can be found on the more elaborate.  A whole range of types, shapes and sizes of tofu can be found on others.  Baby birds and whole skinned frogs are also not hard to find.  Mystery meat is prevalent on many.
By far, they most interesting to me are the vegetables.
