Anything But Congee

This spoof has been building in me for a while.

Because...

Well, you'll see.

Congee, for the record, is commonly translated as "gruel".  It's extra watery rice, often eaten for breakfast.  Except not by me if I can help it.

My brother helped me with the lyrics.

More random notes:

"I really think I love you all" is a shout-out to the other team at HuaQiao, who really did love good food.

Zhen hao chi = really delicious.

Di san xian is an awesome vegetable dish.  One recipe can be found here:  http://cookingsimplechinesefoodathome.com/2011/04/1-di-san-xian-three-fresh-vegetables.html

(to the tune of Backstreet Boys' As Long As You Love Me)

Although Chinese food has always been my favorite kind
I'd trade it for eggs and ham
People say I'm missing out on culture and food
But I'll pass anyway
How you guys eat this is a mystery
I don't ever want to try it
My taste buds say that they do agree
I just can't stand congee

Just give me some omelettes
Whole-wheat bagels
Nice fresh oatmeal
Anything but congee
Cereal
Danishes
Yogurt's fine
Anything but congee

Every kind of food is zhen hao chi
I really think I love you all
Di san xian or spaghetti
As long as it ain't congee

Just give me some omelettes
Whole-wheat bagels
Nice fresh oatmeal
Anything but congee
Cereal
Danishes
Yogurt's fine
Anything but congee

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows when you look into 
My bowl...
