Welcome to the rocky woods. Just so you know, you are a guest in their home. Just cause someone put a house there doesn't change the living arrangement.
Not sure if this guy is the same as I have had before - however I did have a great tasting soup once in China and it was made with a bunch of his cousins. Not kidding it was tasty but not until I got to the bottom of the bowl did I find a few of them. I was a little concerned until I saw the faces of other at the table who made the same discovery. Took me 2 bowls worth to notice. I can write to my buddy in China for the recipe if you like.
