This episode is by far one of the best. I think that the foods were very much interesting to look at and also were very good looking. I don't think I would have wanted to eat most of what he eats, but it does make you realize that there are more foods than you think. The food in China is very diverse and often very complex. I didn't think donkey was a source of food, but I guess it's common eating over there. The episode was very good and very much enjoyable because of its vast assortment of foods and entertainment. Thank you.moreless
