B) I think: Yes, there are also Chinese characteristic delicacies in various parts of China. I remember when I was studying in Beijing University, once my father came to Beijing on business from Shanghai and took me to Quanjude to have roast duck. It was really delicious. But that special delicacy can only be eaten once in a while, not every day. In daily life, one should pay attention to a balanced diet and consume healthy food.
