I would never ASSume anything about such a consuming experience.

驴肉火锅 is actually a common meat in Hebei. As I remember it, it tasted a little gamey to me. In Baoding, they're known for their 驴肉 burgers...
Paul Todd:
Absolutely right, My students tell me that Baoding has the best Donkey burgers in China! Not that I have tried one. Donkeys remind me of trips to the seaside as a child too much to want to eat one. I have tried donkey unwittingly at a picnic once. You know the routine you are offered something to eat so you try it only to be told after the fact exactly what it was. I have since worked out the signs of this, people tend to go a little quite and stare, a sure thing that what ever it is will cause them great hilarity when your told just what you have eaten! ;)

Paul, Peggy really enjoys giving me foods that I do not know what they are then watching my reaction. :o I'll react just to make them happy. ;D This began the first full day I was there.
I'll try just about anything but I;ll throw a fit when I find out. I agree with your observation but will add one more. I will ask them what it is and if they say that they do not know the English word for it then they all sit there and watch get ready you are about to eat donkey, dog, cat, rodent, pigeon, worms, etc...
I can't wait to get Peggy here and have her try cow tongue, tripe, pickled pigs feet, ox tail, of course this may be nothing to her. :(
Arnold:
Shaun , it's funny you mention cow tongue , tripe ( which she try'd in Menudo ) and ox tail .. but my LaoPo stays now far away from those . How dare she .. after all I been eating ! >:(
