About this episode

This episode explores the adventurous world of Chinese food, particularly focusing on traditional dishes that use offal, through a visit to a Taiwanese night market.

Exploring the world of Chinese food is not for the faint of heart. Those of us not used to eating the organs of animals should be weary. Many traditional Chinese dishes revel in using all kinds of offal in their preparation. And names can be misleading. Even if you think you know what is in a dish, it's easy to get it wrong. In this lesson, two friends check out the food at a Taiwanese night market and are in for a surprise.
