There were certain foods that I would not eat—not even on a bet. When I was in the market bazaar in Beijing I saw the most exotic choices for food that I’ve ever experienced in my life. These deep fried treats for the Chinese included scorpions, starfish, seahorses, beetles, and geckos. I also avoided street vendors in general because of concern about food safety.
