dog food.

we buy food for the dog but he doesn't like it. he sniffs it and looks around but doesn't really eat it. it's made up of red and yellow bits. he eats the red bits but the yellow bits are always left in the bowl.

we buy him something called banh bao. it's a fist full of rice dough that's boiled. that dough surrounds pork meat and boiled eggs. the boiled eggs and pork are not thoroughly cooked. it's always fairly pink.

another piece of food that we give the dog is duck's head. that's normally used for soup.

the dog also receives what is called moon cake. moon cake is a speciality this time of year. it is the fall delicacy. it's made of fruit, meat and bread. the combination should never have been attempted in the first place. we are given a couple of moon cakes a week. we pretend to eat them and give them to the dog. he chases them across the room and scatters crumbs everywhere. we give the dog the most inappropriate food.
