Yes, Liz -- actually, I'm a retired Chinese cooking teacher. And a dedicated liason for Chinese scholars and students who studied in the NYC area. Why, my hubby and I were known as "Mrs. & Mr. Penny Stamm" and I shall treasure that moniker till I die..! Never had monkey brains at a Chinese Consulate banquet, but I'll never forget when we were served frog's legs. My daughter wouldn't touch 'em. "It's delicious!" I coaxed, not having the faintest idea what I was eating. She pursed her lips and refused. "Whazzamatter?" I asked. "Try it!" And thru clenched teeth she muttered, "They're frog's legs, and they'll never cross my lips!" So I ate hers.
