Chinese people think a lot about food.In fact,I think that they are sometimes obsessed(痴迷) with it.My first experience of this  __16__ of Chinese culture came at a banquet during a trip to Beijing in 1998.I had eaten Chinese food often,but I could not have __17__ how fabulous(丰盛的)a real Chinese banquet could be.The first six or seven dishes seemed to __18__ the table, with plates dangerously __19__ one on top of another.I thought this vast __20__ of food was the total number of dishes to be served,and I started eating __21__.Everyone else just __22__ a bit of each dish and then put their chopsticks down,continuing to chat.“They can't have very big appetites,” I thought.

Another aspect of“food culture”is that the Chinese seem to eat almost every part of every animal——much to the  __28__ of many westerners.Stomach,ears,tongue,tail,hoof and lungs are all likely to __29__ on the dinner table in front of you.The first time I saw a three-year-old kid __30__ chewing a chicken's head I had bad dreams for weeks.

These days I enjoy that sort of food myself.__31__,there are other kinds of foods that have taken longer for me to __32__.The infamous(臭名昭著的) choudoufu is a(n)   __33__.(The name says it all:“stinky tofu”.) Just when I got used to it,  I found another __34__on a trip to Hunan:deep-fried choudoufu,a horrible black substance that looked and __35__ about as appetizing as a burnt tennis shoe.Maybe I'll get used to that, too—some day.
