Not even raw fruit?

• metaphorm 9y ago
  many fruits have rinds or peels that are removed before eating. those that aren't, well, they aren't so popular, and they are typically washed and peeled before serving. I've never seen anyone in Chinatown take a bite out of a totally raw, unprocessed apple.

    please don't call ABCs Chinese, apparently one billion Chinese would disagree with your comment, apples are extremely popular, so are mandarins, tomatoes and nuts, all raw in China real Chinese eat lot of raw stuff, if ABCs don't it must be some of their local fetish

      maybe it was lost on you that the linked article, and this entire discussion, is about the people living in Chinatown?

  of course they eat all kinds of raw fruit and vegetables, tomato is pretty much considered equal to apple, you will see people in streets of Beijing holding it and biting it like apple, same goes for cucumber which is especially popular in summer as alternative to ice cream to cool you down speaking from perspective of someone who lived years in China with real Chinese, ignorance of previous poster is unlimited
