I was taken out for a meal in Beijing once at a former Emperors palace. Because I was a Westerner I was automatically afforded the highest status at the table. This meant I got served a whole fish head in my soup ... apparently considered the "most desirable part of the fish" - everyone else got all the lesser parts (you know, like the body). Thanks China.

The 50-year old spirits were nice, though.

OK, Crystal Tom, there's no need to carp on about it. I realise this thread is wearing a little fin, but there's no need to be so rude. You better watch it, or I'll batter you.
