Food

Everything in Taiwan is about food - even politics:

With the pan-blue camp’s post-election protests going into their sixth day, some Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supporters have begun urging people to attend the rallies — and eat the free food being served there to protesters.

In a widely circulated e-mail, DPP supporters asked recipients to fight “black gold” by eating as much of the pan-blue camp’s free food as possible.

…The e-mails includes descriptions of the food available at the rallies.

“In addition to three square meals a day, you can expect snacks, including instant noodles and steamed buns. The box lunches that are being distributed contain mostly either chicken or pork,” one e-mail reported.

UPDATE: Photos of KMT food being eaten by DPP supporters (thanks to H.H.!!!):

I’d say they have it figured out. Say the same things in many countries and you’re on your way to victory!

If you ignore those old men beating up the teenaged boy, the KMT demonstrators have to be the nicest people I have ever argued with. I bet they’d feed you even if you told them you supported the DPP.
