  2. Okay, so let's put a spoonful of Miso and a spoonful of Vegemite in front of me, and see which one I'll give a try...

    In China, do they like their ham green as well?

    Black pudding we just called blood pudding. Before I got a chance to try it, though, the slaughterhouses were forbidden to sell the blood anymore.
