On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone
herself in creating a strange menu. She was pulling black
veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was
littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy rock
cod with bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown
into a pain of hot oil. Tofu, which looked like stacked
wedges of rubbery white sponges. A bowl soaking dried
fungus back to life. A plate of squid, their backs
crisscrossed with knife markings so they resembled
bicycle tires.
