How could the 鸡蛋灌饼 be forgotten?! All those mornings, justifiably waiting in line to buy an "egg-engulfed paratha" baked in a coal cake barrel oven, sprinkled with little pickle cubes, by a seemingly industrious couple... hm hm hm. It's pretty rare to find an stand making authentic one these days. Do share a location if you local 城管 haven't sacked them already.

Vegan goodies? OK--might be eatable. What, though, is an essential oil? Outside of motor, I need only cooking oil. Vegans for A Cause? What Cause? Black Lives Matter? Save the Whales? Save Any Cause That Postures? Please specify. Though, yeah. Anything that takes place in a cute coffee bar has me askin' wise ol' Zeus for an asteroid.

What, though, is an essential oil?

Some would argue CBD oil is essential.

Lol

I’m never bothered by the paparazzi!

To everybody else, I just smile and be polite. I’m a guest in their country. A few seconds of my time may convince them that foreigners aren’t all rude. A few words in English can make all the difference to a kids attitude to learning English, because suddenly it’s real.

Would it have been even more open minded to just have one Super"man" but have both burger pictures on his/her chest? The October surprise!

Suggestion for future graphics. When TBJ gets around to staging a "Beijing's Best Bratwurst" contest, have Superman ripping open his fly to show sausage. Or is that sexist? Asuming that just because ze identifies as a man, Clark Kent's alter ego must therefore be packing meat where pongoid punks pack pistols?

I molded a two-meter long authentic looking kielbasa out of dog poop in my back yard. But it's still dog poop regardless of how long it is or what it looks like. Relevance here? "Who hath ears, let him hear."

They say Mohammed Atta's initial push in to Al Qaeda was deapair over the ugliness of modern Cairo's architecture. (It looks like everywhere else nowadays.) One deplores the form his reaction took. Understands rather too well his revulsion.

I also look like the one, te rr o r ist.. owing to my thick unibrow, but i am of decent physiq otherwise.. Mosking

Does anyone actually read these articles? They're like food porn. I mean, do people with gastro-intestinal problems get a vicarious kick salivating over foodsie adjectives, or what? Sigh wistfully, "If I were twenty years younger and had fewer ulcers, man! I'd be like that burger like a Portland street mob on a police station!"

Does anyone actually read these articles?

Other than the owners of the hamberder places, no.

To be clear, no.
