We were blessed to live in the San Francisco Bay area for five years for what seems like a million years ago. I rode the train every day like all the commuters, and I worked downtown in the financial district. San Francisco has the oldest Chinatown in our country and is the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. Needless to say, I got to work with some great Chinese people, some great Asian-Americans. One very young Chinese man named Ming Yang would come to the office with a little metal lunch pail. Sometimes I would ask him what his mother had made him for lunch, and he would literally take his chopsticks (no kidding) and explore the container holding his food. After moving the pieces around, looking under and in between he would then explain to me what he was about to eat. He always had white rice, not the fried stuff we get at the local Chinese place with peas and carrots adding a touch of bright color. That very plain rice was always surrounded by some bony pieces of meat. Ming would tell me in his best broken English that he thought it was pork, maybe chicken, and then again maybe fish.
