Things to Love about China: 41 of 100


Vegetable Flavored Popsicles

I've only been in China for two months now and I've seen so much. Between actually working as a 10-year-old teacher and exploring Shekou, I have managed to see as many as seven other very different Chinese cities. I've hardly had time to scratch down my experiences as words. But I've wanted to do this blog for a while, so here it is.

Pea and corn flavored popsicles! I've never been one to mix healthy food with dessert but who is? I first encountered this oddity during my trip to the beach about a month back. My Ukrainian friend, Natalie, purchased the pea-flavored treat and we all tried some. What can I say, it tasted like peas.

I have since seen these popsicles all over the country. It seems quite popular. I know people keep corn and peas in their freezers, maybe one day they decided they weren't going to wait for the vegetables to thaw and then they thought they were on to something.

That's all I've got for now, but there is more coming as I just spent a weekend in glorious Hong Kong.
