Turns out, scorpions don't taste so bad -- though eating them is more about texture than flavor. They do impart a satisfying crunch. 事实证明，蝎子并没有那么难吃──虽然吃蝎子更多的是质感而非味道上的体验。咀嚼它们，的确能给人带来一种令人满足的嘎吱嘎吱的响声。 I was with my husband and three children in Li Qun, a roast-duck and fried-insect restaurant in a back alley of a rundown hutong -- a neighborhood of traditional courtyard houses -- in Beijing. The only 'facility' was a hole in the ground down the block, but still, on the walls of the restaurant hung photos of famous visitors: Jet Li, Al Gore. 当时，我和丈夫及三个孩子在利群──一家位于北京一条破旧胡同后巷、供应烤鸭和炸昆虫的餐馆。胡同是传统四合院住宅的街区。那儿唯一的“厕所”就是街区尽头地上的一个洞。尽管如此，在这家餐馆的墙上还是挂着造访此处的知名人士的照片：李连杰和前美国副总统阿尔・戈尔(Al Gore)。 |
