I went out to eat Saturday night with Brad (the professor that came to Beijing with me) and one of Brad's co-workers, James.
We went out to eat at a Uyghur (pronounced "weeger") restaurant. The Uyghurs are a Muslim minority in China. Here's the wikipedia article you should totes check out if you have time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_people
These Uyghurs really like mutton, so I had some of that. They had like every body part of the sheep you could imagine--kidneys, stomach, intestines. I wasn't feeling that adventurous. I had some mutton, a beef dish, and a vegetable dish. It wasn't that bad.
They had little appetizers you could order. They had this bread thing called "nan" which is almost exactly like the "nan" that me and Karishma had at the Indian restaurant in Lewiston. I was excited. I had some of that and it was delicious.
