Snack Hunting

It is said that there are over two hundred kinds of snacks in Beijing such as Quick-Fried Tripe, Boiled Sheep's Head, Pancakes with Meat-Fillings, Sugar-Coated Haws, Roast Sweet Potato, Shish Kebab, Roast Mutton, and Sticky Rice with Sweet Fillings. The local Beijing people, especially elder ones, especially enjoy Mung Bean Milk, Fried Liver and Filled Sausage. Many of these tasty snacks don 't have suitable translations in English, but you can simply wander down some of the numerous snack streets to see for yourself which ones you would like to sample. Even if you aren 't quite brave enough to try, the stroll will be certain to provide plenty of good entertainment and you never know what kind of local delicacy might wet your tongue!
