Mega-Bite: Watch the English Version of CCTV's "A Bite of China" Show

The "A Bite of China" Chinese documentary series took the country by storm earlier this year. Now, CCTV-9 has made available on its website the English versions of all seven episodes of the series.

The show first appeared back in May, with each episode showcasing different ingredients, dishes and restaurants throughout China.

Here's the list of episodes, along with their original CCTV English air date.

1: Gifts from Nature (Oct 15, 2012)
2: The Story of Staple Foods (Oct 16, 2012)
3: Inspiration for Change (Oct 17, 2012)
4: The Taste of Time (Oct 18, 2012)
5: Secrets of the Kitchen (Oct 19, 2012)
6: A Perfect Blend of Five Flavors (Oct 20, 2012)
7: Our Farm (Oct 21, 2012)

Naturally, Chinese folks have declared their love for this show, but did you know that the Guardian has speculated that this could possibly be the best TV food show ever? That's a bold claim. International viewers will eventually get to judge for themselves, as China's taking the documentary on the road with plans to broadcast it in 20 countries.
