Bad Chinese food

No, it's not exclusive to DC. Or even the US. Sadly, much of the local Shanghainese food is disappointing (some of the dumplings and buns are decent). This guy has eaten way more of it than I probably ever will, so I'll let you read his description/explanation on the first half of that link. [Word to the wise: I think his site's really interesting, but if you go surfing around for very long -- perhaps just the lower half of that page -- you'll probably find something that will gross you out. I like to try new things, but the fact that he named his site Weird Meat should tell you something. Just from checking out the master list, I can guarantee that I will not be as adventurous an eater.]

By the way, I've already pointed some of you to this video, but for the rest of you -- eating things that are still moving is apparently also popular among some Koreans.
