Hong Kong: In this land where
everyday speech is peppered with old
Chinese sayings, and chefs are among
the world's most inventive, I was told
on two occasions: "Anything that
shows its back to heaven is cooked
and eaten here." Another favourite is
"The only thing with four legs we do
not eat is a table." That's not too
comforting for timid diners, I know,
but I must say I have thoroughly
enjoyed most of my Hong Kong dining experiences.
