Program Description

Event Details

Chinese food is set up in a combination of soup, eggroll, stir fry and rice. What is the order behind the Chinese menu? If you wince at seeing whole fish or shrimp served with heads on, rest assured that the heads aren't attached to upset your appetite. Whether the fortune cookie is authentic, the Chinese food industry is a worldwide phenomenon. After this talk, you will gain a new perspective on the Chinese dining experience, whether it is sit-down or take-out. What better way to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month than with Chinese food? 

Yvonne will be presenting in the library, please join us in person or via Zoom.
