Chicken bones and stinky tofu

I went to dinner last night at a Cantonese restaurant. It was very traditional and tasty. We ate warm salad cooked in soy sauce, hairy beans-a lot like warm seasoned edamame, a radish-beef stew, crunchy pork which was so savory, and a chicken dish. I enjoyed all, but the chicken. I took one bite and it was filled with bones. The lighting was poor so it was difficult to get a good look at the meat, so I just put it in my mouth and expected to taste chicken. Unfortunately for me being the novice Cantonese chicken eater that I am, I was shocked to discover little meat and instead, found my mouth to be filled with a rubbery chicken skin sack loaded with bone chips. I tried to be polite and navigate the bones out of my mouth , but I'm just not that skilled and had to spit the whole lot out into my napkin. After that I avoided the chicken.
Today I ate another interesting Taiwanese specialty called stinky tofu. It smells like a strong mix of Limburger cheese and a street festivals porta potty. Very foul, but I though I should still give it a try. Many people love it. Well it tasted like it smelled but it didn't have bones so this time I was able to swallow. Later found that the tofu has to soak for a couple of hours in a brine of literally rotten vegetables and shrimp. It is potentially so noxious that, if not careful, it can be contaminated with pathogens and maggots. This fermentation process is responsible for it's magical smell and taste. Yum. Come visit China.
