Wujiang Snack Street to be demolished.
Ethnocide hooray!
A long while back, I bought some candy off a street vendor in Seoul. One candy was some kind of rock candy, the other was corn silk that had been pounded, sugared, and dried. When I showed my mom the corn candy she was surprised. Apparently, it was a poor man's war time sweet that no one made or ate anymore. It was good enough that ten-something years later, I still have a hankering for it. But that was the only time I ever saw it sold, and no one else seems to have seen it either. If anyone does see it, the ABC mail box is open 24/7~
There are endangered animals and endangered languages. What about endangered cuisines? Are there programs or schools that help protect against the loss of "commoner cuisine?" Maybe my next comic will about an anthropologist chef that travels the world documenting disappearing street foods and home dishes.
