...but what happens to my bbq pork...

So you can mail your knives back to yourself. Who in today's world with a brain still carries a knive with you when you travel!? Why in the world would you need a bloody knife!? Especially knives passed down from gramma?! Get a life!! ...this is NOT a note to gramma nor my mother in law to give me any knives. I don't want anyone else's knives... okay, I wouldn't reject one from my sushi chef :)

Anywayz, my Mei Zhen Xiang bbq pork was seized when my sister in law mailed me some from Singapore recently... the canned pork came through, all my little Chinese New Year goodies came intact and even my dried prawn spring rolls were untouched!

Then this time coming back from China, I decided to experiment and brought some into the country. Yup, Mei Zhen Xiang bbq pork is sold in Shanghai too! Granted, I DID declare it in my customs form (and they wouldn't have stopped me if I didn't and yes, they got seized) but what I want to know is, what do they do with it?! The guy who asked me to remove it from my suitcase (Chinese guy from GuangZhou) did comment when he saw it 'oh, this is good stuff' and without shame and obviously annoyed, I replied 'no shit it's good stuff!'... but who's to say they don't eat it right there?! No self-rspecting Chinese of sound mind would throw away good vacuum-sealed Mei Zhen Xiang bbq pork... not when he knows just how good it really is!!!
