Comments on: Expensive Blueberry Shrimp… Hungry? http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/06/23/expensive-blueberry-shrimp-hungry/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:04:33 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: lalala http://www.weirdasianews.com/2008/06/23/expensive-blueberry-shrimp-hungry/comment-page-1/#comment-10482 lalala Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:08:34 +0000 http://www.weirdasianews.com/?p=1689#comment-10482 Yes, this particular dish was popular in Shanghai maybe 4-5 years ago? The dish is called "Qiun-Xia" (or Chi-un-Sha, I forgot how to use ping-ying), which literally means "drowning shrimp". I actually like to eat raw shrimp (ama-ebi in Sushi joints, or the actual drunken shrimp "Tsuai-Sha" in Shanghai), but to bite the head off the shrimp while its alive, with the rest of its body flipping in your mouth is disturbing. Food in large Chinese cities such as Shanghai are like fashion trends. They come and go year after year. I have not had this dish for years.

The chinese would not eat the food served to the american laborers, so the cooks had to "invent" dishes which the chinese would eat...chow mein, chop suey, etc. au contraire….american “chinese” food was invented by railroad cooks to feed the chinese laborers who were imported to build the railroads across western USA in the 1850-1880 era.
