The old computer broke...

So I haven't been able to put the rest of the new pictures up... The moniter went out on the computer, and I'm not about to crop those photos again! In the meantime, I wanted to post some images of the interesting food here. I cook a lot at home, because it's easier then figuring out if things are vegetarian or not. There are also a lot of Buddhist restaurants which only serve vegetarian food. Vegetarians are common here. The food here is a lot more "foreign" to me then the food in Egypt was. There are many fruits and vegetables I have never seen before.


These look like little green apples, but they're actually dates, and they are delicious! They are very different from the variety of dates I ate in Egypt!


These are wax apples. They are a light, apple-like fruit that is grown here in Taiwan, and extremely popular.


I discovered these at a donut stand in our old neighborhood in Taiwan. They are made with potatoes (I think!) and often cooked in an egg. I found the dough at the grocery store, and make them at home now.


These radish roots are also very popular here. They are less potent then the red radishes we eat in the states.


We would often get something very similar to this at a stand in our old neighborhood. This image is of cold noodles and sesame sauce. It's served at other places, though I think the original stand we had it at put peanut in the sauce...
