I vaguely recall looking in a desk drawer in a Shenzhen hotel, only to find a list of foods that should never be paired together (so as to not disrupt the body's qi).

A waitress at a restaurant in China told me that my desired dinner combo for the night would not be entertained by the chef, for the same reason. Instead, I was served eggplant and peanut butter.
