TAR 17 EP 10 "I Hate Chinese Food" (Hong Kong, China)
tivogirl:
Too funny - I was trying to pause and pick out what I could too! I'm sure they'll do some of the things with more interesting textures just to make it entertaining. They'll probably make it look like most dim sum is gross, when it is actually quite the opposite.
Bottom line: that is most definitely NOT sushi! Thanks for backing me up, and for the welcomes!

RE: Sushi v. Dim Sum...
A possible theory of CBS using 'sushi' to generalize the food task is because "Sushi Showdown!" sounds a lot better (with the added alliteration, to boot!) than "Dim Sum Showdown!" Wouldn't you agree? ;)
Yeah, it's technically wrong, but it's so much fun for the casual viewer to be captivated with awe over a tongue-twister instead of something a bit more boring. It's all about the excitement!! :lol3: Plus, the average viewer probably knows squat about the difference between dim sum and sushi.....kind of like categorizing all Indian food as Indian, when it's really not.

I would lean towards the century egg being the problem here.
Look at this description:
Century egg is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving eggs in a mixture of clay, salt, lime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months.
Through the process, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulphur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor.
:eww :barf

Erm.... I do eat century egg congee once in a while, so.... :lol: but that's the only way I'll dare to eat the century egg; I won't eat it alone or in a huge piece.... at least the egg gets sliced into bite-size when the bowl reaches me so the taste isn't THAT strong. I used to dare to eat pork liver, intestines and durian when I was a kid though; ironically, not anymore.... :lol:.
