In Wenzhou, I am never made fun of for disliking bread. My family and their friends share my astonishment at how someone could like cheese, let alone eat whole blocks of them. And they cannot, cannot imagine a life without eating seafood, and cannot cannot imagine why it is ever a good idea to dispose the fish head, which contains a main delicacy, the eyeball — good for your eyesight!
There are tons of other delicacies, of course, other than fish eyeballs, that my family tend to try to overfeed me with whenever I’m back.
Exhibit A: Yanmei, aka the BEST FRUIT EVER.
So so so good.
