Sample Sentences

嗯，我们还有句俗话，“吃什么补什么”。这也是中国人这么敢吃的重要原因。牛鞭，内脏，脑子......总之你想得到的部位，就能做成菜吃。不过有些我们中国人习以为常的食物，在外国人眼里还是无法接受。比如凤爪和蛇。

Hmm...we still have that proverb：``You bolster what you eat." That's a big reason that Chinese people dare to eat what they do. Bull penis, organs, brain...basically, you can make food out of any part you can think of. But there are some foods that we Chinese people think nothing of eathing, such as chicken feet and snakes, that foreigners are simply unable to accept.
