Private vegetables

Extraordinary. I mean, I'm all for food porn, but what you do with your vegetables in the privacy of your home is your business!

Spotted in Xi Dawang Lu, Beijing. Thats a very, very sexy street, people.

hmmm,its a nice pic for "guess where beijing " hee hee

we think ＂私家菜" is not as what you cook at home everyday, its something different from restaurants or other people.its the best of ur cook,and not everyone can run a 私家菜 restaurant. the famouest 私家菜 in Beijing is 厉家菜 ^^

is that a chinglish?

@Reelene: yeah, it would have been a good image for Guess Where Beijing but I already said where it is! D'oh.

Yes, its a Chinglish because the two English words look very strage next to each other. That a vegetable can be "public" or "private" is pretty funny :)

Thanks for your interesting background! I'll have to try a meal at Li Jia Cai!

Grown on a private plot, probably. So not an error.

Maybe not an error also in that perhaps they are all shaped like private parts? i think a lot of veggies are a little phalic, etc...
