A Bite Of China - a great documentary

18:29 Unknown 0 Comments

This weekend I started watching a documentary series made by CCTV called A Bite Of China (舌尖上的中国). This is a 7 part series which features the history of farming, cooking and eating habits in China. It also gives insights into how Chinese value food and the social associations with food. I just finished the first episode which focused on the various farm life from gathering rare mushrooms in the mountain forest to winter fishing in lakes covered with a layer of ice. I can't wait to watch the next episode.

If you would like to watch it, it is available on YouTube in the original language with English subtitles or on the CCTV website in various dubbed languages.

Warning: Do not watch this if you do have access to Chinese food or before a meal.
