(Picture explanation: Premier Zhou Enlai is probably serving Nixon the choice parts of the different dishes, as Nixon is the guest of honour. With formal meals there are 公筷 or ‘shared chopsticks’ that are used for moving food to your own bowl, then you use your own personal chopsticks to eat with. The gongkuai are more hygienic and are often larger, making it easier to reach with them to dishes further away. Basically like serving spoons in potluck dishes)
Obviously comrade Zhou can’t resist the call of the Nixon avocado salad.
你好我吃一点
imagine cottage cheese enthusiast Nixon trying to stomach Mao’s favorite Hunan food. he probably asked Zhou to help with those spicy chili and garlic bits
Nixon was probably used to Kissinger’s version of Chinese food.
Kissinger’s recipe for Moo Goo Gai Pan is seasoned with 3/4 tsp of ginger (yes, tea, not table) and 1 tbsp of salt for FOUR PEOPLE. This gweilo was out here committing war crimes and culinary crimes simultaneously.
I will always upvote Demystified
do you think Kissinger was cooking that shit up in his swinging 70s bachelor pad in DC trying to impress some foreign embassy secretary 90 years younger than him
