Lorin, ...Scott, I agree. Thanks for your comment. <br /><br />Lorin, both of these books have food mentions and descriptions which make you hungry.<br /><br />Margot, this meme has made me take more notice of words as well. <br /><br />Mel, perhaps you will do an Indian inspired Wondrous Words Wednesday? It's a lot of fun.<br /><br />Mee, thanks for the tip (and I'm a a real fan of Chinese food).<br /><br />Thanks for the comments.

Whenever you meet someone, instead of how are you, they'll ask 'ni chi le ma?' --'Have you eaten?' When you go to someone's house, they'll ask you to eat 'chi! chi! chi!'. :Pmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328641316798271079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-57258508450904591382010-01-20T18:49:24.408-08:002010-01-20T18:49:24.408-08:00very interesting expressions-there were a lot of n...very interesting expressions-there were a lot of new to me Indian words in Sea of Poppies-Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-76757475337146629912010-01-20T17:45:11.275-08:002010-01-20T17:45:11.275-08:00I'm glad you joined this fun meme.

I had so much fun with this meme.<br /><br />Michelle, I don't understand it completely, but in the book Pearl knows different dialects(?) such as Mandarin and Cantonese. <br /><br />Does anyone know: are little eats the same thing as dim sum?

Little eats is translating it literally, so I guess it could also be translated to mean 'tidbits'. =)Michelle (su[shu])https://www.blogger.com/profile/18223337726831731472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-53131407714204266562010-01-20T13:01:16.543-08:002010-01-20T13:01:16.543-08:00At first, I thought maybe you speak Italian!
