What was your biggest culture shock in another country? 🤔 Previous China Videos: Chinese Street Food! ua-cam.com/video/BJcOvCN-QP4/v-deo.htmlsi=B9YmkelTX35830QN FIRST IMPRESSIONS of CHINA! (Shanghai Food & Culture) ua-cam.com/video/P6xIBmjOO9g/v-deo.htmlsi=RA62Q_e2rRhyewoV
chicken feet. i guess it started with not wasting anything from chicken. It does feel a bit like a culture thing. I'm used to eating liver, kidneys, chicken hearts, stomachs, skin but the feet was never a thing. If it tastes good though it shouldn't take long to get used to it.
@DeanaandPhil Thanks once again for sharing your experiences. To answer the chicken feet debacle, first off, it is okay to use your hands, keeping ahold of those feet firmly with chopsticks is quite a challenge, you then separate the bones at the joint, eating the cartilage, skin, and what little meat there is on them.
@@IgorEngelen1974 chicken feet contain a lot of collagen, which promotes the elasticity of your skin. So, if you wonder why people look younger than their age, this might be the secret. 😉
Öhöhö. The city is beautiful. I love that you`re always checking the supermarkets, bakery items and skylines. Sometimes i like pineapple stuff but i wonder what that ice cream thing tastes like. The pancakes over there are goood. 😋
Dude, I don't know what you're talking about! The chicken feet look delicious to me!!!! (And, no, I'm not Chinese. I'm a black woman in California!!!) I LOVE chicken feet! 😂
chicken feet is yummy, lots of girls in China like it. most of foreigner don't like just because their tongues aren't flexible and can't handle the bone. but actually the meat with the bone is more delicious than the pure meat.
For your first try, you should try the boneless chicken feet, which is a very delicious and textured experience. And chicken feet are full of collagen, which is good for the skin
I'm german but I like chicken feet. :D I once tried them here in my hometown in Germany at a chinese "Imbiss". It was delicious in my opinion, but all the "Knorpel" made it hard to eat.
Really amazing to look at, and so hard to believe all these structures are there in such a short period of time. Food this time looked Ok, nothing to get on a plane for,lol. As always, great job Deana and Phil, Thank you!👍💕😉
The White Rabbit candy is kind of like America's Tootsie Roll but softer, and instead of being chocolate flavored it's Milk flavored giving it that pudding like taste. The view of the row of skyscrapers reminded me of looking at a woman's perfume bottle collection with all the different shapes. Practically every American skyscraper is just a straight block going up. Nice video with great imagery!
I'm a Chinese America. Had chicken feet for the first time just a few months ago, and I had about the same reaction you guys did. Also, got a good laugh at Phil not knowing it was upside down.
When we first moved to Vietnam, we ordered food delivery one of the first nights we were there because we were so tired from the move. One of the things we ordered translated to "chicken legs", so we assumed we would be getting drumsticks. They were feet. 😂 We'll try anything once, so it was fine for us...but totally agree, I don't really see the point. There's nothing really to them!
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez China has only developed rapidly in the last 40 years, you can't expect the older generation who lived through the old society to adapt to a modern civilization
Love that you try things...lol. on a note about eating habits, I had one friend who ate KFC bones and all.... but then so do my puppies. Another friend from Germany ate the whole apple, core and all. I thought that apple seeds were mildly poisonous and of course my puppies said no to apple cores. Keep on keeping on and I'll just tag along and watch.
Als Thüringer bin ich von den Socken und muss sagen, das sieht so gar nicht nach Thüringer Bratwurst aus, eher nach Nürnberg. Aber wenns schmeckt spielt der Name keine Rolle. By the way, eine Reise durch die Thüringer Culinaric wäre vielleicht auch mal eine Idee.
For a while I was wondering about your family origin Deana, not that it matters at all but I couldned put my finger on it. And today you told us about your mother chinese origin. Now I can only chuckle knowing if u ever were to have a baby, it would probably be the first ever partly chinese baby with a natural mullet in history 😂❤
I loved the view from the building. Thanks for filming it but I wish the river had been blue instead of brown like the rhine river. I would have loved the eat the Pork and Eggplant too and sorry that I have to say this but I hope Phil will order finasteride soon...
I wonder why so many visitors seem to eat so little veg when traveling around China. I understand sometimes people are eating street food, but sometimes I would think you get a full meal which in many parts of China includes veg, proteins, rice and soup. That's both tasty and healthy.
U should get a proper visiting visa and go to the smaller cities. Those are much nicer then the tier one cities. Cheap and great local food, friendly locals who havent learnt to scam tourists yet.
The problem is china doesn’t have good chicken feet. Too skinny. Try New York Chinatown or any dim sum place in the US. Honestly so much better. China doesn’t spice them up like we do. We add a tiny hit of heat with jalapeño slices. Also the soy sauce doesn’t quite taste the same.
You don’t eat chicken feet in Shanghai ( there are not specialized in preparing those food ) . You have to go to Hong Kong or Guangshou or Chinatown LA or NYC Chinatown
@@winyup7271 We do eat chicken feet in Shanghai, but not in that dim sum style. We cook them and leave them in marinated Cooking Wine, it's served cold, a specialty in summer
@ I love pig feet. I grew up in east Germany and we didn’t discarded those like they do here in Canada. I am missing my culture! But maybe chicken feet are good ,I don’t know.we have a saying; what the farmer doesn’t know he is not eating.
Chinese just eat a much wider variety of food. Chicken feet, heart, liver, pork ear, bone marrow, skin, brain, feet etc. Just different culture and tradition.
Why American’s app wouldn’t work in China? Google and Apple withdrawn from China. Chips and science bill thrown on China. I don’t know these are enough reason.
Google quit because they don't comform to China laws. Apple? 20% of apple phones are sold to China... Microsoft lives very well in China, Apple lives very well in China, also Tesla, Samsung, nvidia... Every bloggers say about youtube, twitter, tiktok(they even don't know douyin, and saying as if they can use any country's tiktok), and some nsfw websites. But any others? No. If you want to know why google series can't use in China, GO ASK GOOGLE.
Of course many places are cashless so they can track their citizens. Also, the government saves money as they can print less currency. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Certainly, under the leadership of the Communist Party, electronic payments are absolutely tools for control and oppression of the people. Only when electronic payments are invented by Western countries can they be considered symbols of democracy and freedom, representing a blessing for the people of the world.
you are ignorant, if you use credit card in US or EU, they can also track their citizens. there is no difference between China and US. the only difference is your brain has BIAS.
There are plenty of places to walk in the United States, small towns like Key West and st Augustine, Disney world, the beach and shore towns, national and state parks, 35,000 cities and towns, tourist towns, thousands of miles of beaches ect ect ect
Cantonese chicken feet and pig's feet are delicious. The collagen in pig's feet helps improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, has a good nourishing effect on the skin, and removes fat and lowers blood pressure. To have pig's feet once or twice a week is good for health.
@@themeltedchocolateMother Nature provides humans with all the elements they need to maintain good health. Chemically processed pills sound reasonable and are more effective in curing diseases, but in many cases, they have side effects. I think that humans should not repeat the same food every day and try to diversify their food so that the human body can absorb different minerals and nutrients, and the body will be healthier. For example, scientists say that vegetable oil is good for health, so many people use vegetable oil to make dishes, but the latest report says that animal oil is healthier and is not easy to cause cancer, while vegetable oil can cause many diseases. Another example, Elon Musk used to take metformin every day because some scientific research reports proved that metformin can delay aging. However, the latest survey report is warning people to be careful when taking metformin because there are great side effects.
@@EricCPOP it does seem as if it’s a different part of the animal that goes through a different treatment in life. The feet of an animal that is constantly using the restroom and walking around in its own feces. Idk I’ve had Jamaican style cow foot and it wasn’t bad but did have that “taste”
@@alexdunson1266 Well the way the chicken feet are prepare is to start by boiling it in hot water to soften the outer scaly skin and then plunge it in ice water to help make it loosen for peeling. Then the chicken feet get rinse in water and then get dried in towel before going into the deep fryer to make the skin soften. Next is to marinated the deep fried chicken feet with various spices and sauces over night. And then portion it on a small plate with some preserved black beans and sliced chillies and go for the steamer until it is soft, tender and juicy. In short it is a delicacy that the average person do not get to eat it at home. Food is a culture thus if one is not grown up with it there will always be that fear behind.
@@alexdunson1266Chicken are all raise in the chicken farm, where chicken sit in a long cage, barely move thoughout its whole life. So feet and wings really have no difference, it's just a mental effect. Like my aunt don't like to eat eggs because she think eggs have that 'taste' (this is real).
Cities in Asian countries are so much more interesting and vibrant than those in the U.S. There is no comparison. I aways feel so bored when I came back to the U.S. from my trips to Asian countries, especially back from China.
Diana, I honestly would say this in an open conversation (face to face). But why do you always have a snarky comment to say when it’s in regards to your country? lol I get it, we all are patriotic etc but when Phil said, “Idk about the line tour people thing (efficient wise)” you said “it was also the tallest building you were on” Like, girl I invite you to be more natural and open minded to the camera in 2025 I follow yall since 2019 and as an unsolicited blunt Advice, dont take everything so seriously. You are a bit defensive and you are a self video producer. Btw Phil suscribes better something he is eating, practice this more girly! You have so much potential, Do It For Youuu! 😢
I have eaten chicken feet I wouldn't order it But I would eat it Have you eaten bear? Super tough meat I'd rather eat the feet than bear any day of the week

chinese food is not about the taste but also the texture and the pleasure for masticating
The city looks a lot cleaner than the American and European big cities I have seen. Graffiti is everywhere here.
I hope graffiti never take off in China. Graffiti is not art, it is just vandalism. They
uglify cities not beautify it. Only murals are art.
Graffiti isnt dirt though.
Definitely cleaner , however , spitting on everything isn’t clean. The old generation are a bit odd.

不同意男主说的上海是个空气污染很严重的城市，上海处于中国南北界线上，南方暖湿气流和北方冷空气经常在这里交汇，所以容易产生严重的雾气或雨水，并不是空气污染。欢迎你们来上海旅行，祝旅途愉快！
I don't like chicken feet too ... Just don't like ...😁🤣🤣🤣
哈哈， welcome to china。看到你吃鸡爪的时候，你说出抱歉时。我笑了。。。这是一件有趣的事情。旅行愉快！
😀😀😀 The chicken feet should be melt in the mouth, and the ones you tried are not well cooked. Try them in Canton or Hong Kong.
Think I'd pass on the chicken feet. Here in Ireland Pigs feet are eaten.
What you did wrong with the feet was you tried to eat them. Those are feet you just throw those out.
The cash.. i found an atm in xi'an and changed RMB into Dong in Lao cai
If I had to get all A's for my report card for something special I would have never gotten any of the special foods.

Next time, visit Beijing :D
