Unwrapping a Chicken
I tend to blog about the more serious parts of life here, but this one's a glimpse into life here that's a little less serious.
This past weekend in Jiezi I bought a chicken roasted in clay.
Tonight was the unpacking of said chicken, and I wanted to share it with y'all.

At first it looks something like a muddy dragon egg. |
Once you get through the clay, there's a layer of brown paper, then a very large leaf. |
Apparently lotus leaves are ancient Chinese clingwrap. As Susan said, it's a greener alternative. |
It's smiling at me! (Also, please note how the feet are stuck in the butt to be out of the way...) |
And this is what cleavers are for. |
The feet have been freed! |
Meat in one container, trash in a bag, and other parts in the pot to make soup. ^_^ |
