Check out these images of classic photos made into color. They should stay black and white, but it's crazy to see. I thought this artist worked on "Migrant Mother", but I don't see it. She ran into a a few cease and desists I think.
1. I'd guess it's some sort of milk, genuine fresh cow milk is apparently really hard to find in China so it's probably some weird variant.
2. Bun with rice noodles and a common chinese vegetable I do not know the name of (sort of like green onions in texture).
3. The usual steamed bun.
4. Was this one sweet? If it was salty it's a chinese doughnut usually had at breakfast with congee.
5. Looks like a red bean dessert with balls of dough.
6. No idea.. some sort of milkshake?
7. I've seen this during a trip to Beijing when I was a kid but never had it.
8. If this was chewy while being a bit sweet and salty in taste then I've had it and it's amazing. No idea what it is though.
9. Is it beef? I can read the first word as 'tea' but I'm not sure if the second word says cow or not haha (Took 10 years of chinese school and all if it was forgotten over one summer (: ).
I'm Chinese born and raised in Canada so I'm pretty clueless to Chinese culture but I'm pretty sure I've had some of the foods you've pictured, hope it helps!
1. I wanted to say this had a tapioca taste too it. I could be wrong.
6 is probably milk again. Did it taste like milk? C'mon. Give us something to go by.
You're telling me that you went to China, and you didn't even try scorpion on a stick? My Chinese friends swear by them. Or how about cat soup? I think you played it too safe. Also, you need to try more milk. It may be a foreign concept to you.
Of all the items I remember 6 the least. Lemonade? Who knows.
I passed on the opportunity to have scorpion on a stick. It was right next to the seahorse when I saw it..
You're right milk is hard to come by in the midwest. Jokes!
In May 2009 I was fortunate enough to travel solo from central Ohio to Huángshān and Běijīng. I had delicious food in a wonderful country. I wanted to have the community, with the help of my fading recollection, identify what I ate while overseas. I was inspired by the discussion of Drew's trip to North Korea.

5. A dessert. Are those tapioca balls?
6. No idea.
