Oh man, oh man, oh man, story time!
So I'm in China. Near Szechuan. Business trip. Big one.
We're being hosted by a guy at a private club... His boss' private club (said boss was supposed to be there but got called away last minute). This place is SWANK. The dining room is basically an entire building. And the food is spectacular. Just... Damn.
So I'm doing my best to follow along with the conversation while tactfully trying to jam everything in reach into my pie hole. Dishes are coming out and every one looks as good or better than the last.
And then, just when it's almost over, just when I'm nearly ready to explode and we're slowly wrapping up the meeting... CHICKEN NUGGETS.
No idea why, no idea where they got them from, but here's a big-assed bowl of chicken nuggets and ketchup. Just plain squeeze bottle ketchup. In a place with its own crest on the dishes.
Chicken nuggets.
So I'm left with nothing but questions. Are these for me, the only white dude who's been eating everything up to this point (and loving it)? Are they actually a serious course? Are these actually from McDonald's? Is there even a McDonald's near here? Did they have to go out or did they get it delivered? Because if it's not authentic then the cook did an amazing job of it (considering I probably haven't eaten chicken nuggets in nearly 15 years).
So I ate a couple, because when am I going to get to eat mystery chicken nuggets in a private club again? And, more importantly it makes for a great story later on.
