Szechuan Food

I met my dads coworkers today. We had a fancy dinner tonight in a Szechuan restaurant which rivaled my Hong Kong dinner and included lamb ribs, frog stew, eel and fake eel (which is made from tofu), fish, pork, pork and fish together, chicken, chicken feet and thankfully ONE vegetable dish which they ordered especially for me. We also had "swa-mei-tang" which is plum juice. It was quite good and helped to take the spice out of the famously spicy Szechuan food. 

The coworkers were all very nice. They told me an urban legend about a Spanish man and Chinese woman who got married. The couple spoke English to one another in order to communicate. When they had a baby, they spoke to the baby in their mother tongues. Three years later, the baby still couldn't speak any language at all. Finally it started speaking in a language nobody understood!
