What's for tea?

Train travel across China, Mongolia and Russia means being ingenious with getting your own meals. Choices include going to the cafeteria, BYO and buying along the way. We tried the first once or twice and ended up eating a greasy mess. BYO was our main choice - 'Cup-of-Soup', cheese and biscuits, warm beer and juice, and fruit the main meals! We were warned not to buy from the locals as the quality could not be guaranteed but we all watched with interest. This lady was gamer than we were. Note how high the steps are to the train!
