Chinese Bakeries and Husband Pies
A new bakery opened in Changzhou, and it’s been consistently busy for the last two weeks. Every time I walk past the window, though, I lose all desire to go inside. Have you ever seen a more unappealing selection of bread? And are those… are those hot dogs?! Yuck.
Bakeries are easy to find in this city. It seems like there’s one on every block. All the bakeries I frequent, though, rarely see any other customers. Half of their shelves are always empty, too. It’s amazing they can stay in business. The one near my school probably only gets by on all the sales they make to me. I do like my “husband and wife” pies:
I believe they are called “husband and wife” pies, because there is a sweet version and a salty version. Guess who’s the sweet one? Unfortunately for the guys, the salty ones are disgusting. Beware the flaky, brown filling. It tastes like spicy dirt. I’ve also been told not to give a “husband and wife” pie to a girl. It means she smells like spicy dirt. Or that you want to marry her. Something like that.

I got that stranger danger feeling when I saw those hot hogs…what diabolical schemer would forge such an awkward looking thing? Also thanks for letting me know about not giving one of those pies to a girl, that could end up coming on just a little too strong…”I bought you something and I hope you like it.” Man is down on one knee and hands the girl a styrofoam box, as the girl accepts the gift from the man and opens it to find a husband and wife pie. She looks back at the man not knowing what to say. As he looks into her eyes he says, “Will you marry me?” Shortly after the man was found lying face down in a gutter with a very large bump on his head.

Yeah, I could moan about chinese bread and cakes for hours, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve bought bread to make a sandwich or toast only to find it’s sweet bread, yuck.
And did you see the bread with pork floss on it??
