But this way we get the episode. I'll see what I can do to make things better for next ep - and all will be back to normal by the one after that. Anyway - 19th Century Chinese Food? What can I tell you? It would have looked much the same as lots of the food you will find right now around the Pearl RIver Delta, the old district of Canton - now known as Guangzhou. But this episode is not just about the food - it also looks a bit into how the US and China started dealing with each other. How did that stream of labor from China - that would be essential in the gold fileds and then the construction of the US railroads get a foot hold in California. While there is much made of the Chinese presence in New York - and how they influenced east coast culture - there is the less well known story of China and the early west. So grab your dried fish, pickled vegetables, boiled millet and see what's there.
