We had a chinese student stay with us, and apparently they do have some type of bread in china (although I don't know what it is). Our student had never had toast before, but before he left, he was having it every day for breakfast and loved our Tetley Tea! Also, he was overwhelmed with Vimto and took as much as he could back home.
They have buns with savoury and sweet stuffings. I have had them with pork in, also bean jam which tastes jammy but has the texture of pease pudding

Hi Sherrardk:
Southern China has, until recently, had a diet based upon rice, rather than upon wheat. However wheat products are now rising in popularity to such an extent that wheat prices on commodities markets have risen considerably. (The fact that bread in UK supermarkets has got far dearer over the past few years is largely attributed to the increased consumption of wheat by the southern Chinese).
However northern China has always been a wheat-growing area, but with the bread being steamed rather than baked:

when we were in china i can't remember what we used to have for breakfast but can't recall bread of any description. lunch and dinner were always chinese banquets of varying quality but always at least 3 courses. you think you'd never get sick of eating one if you love chinese food but after nearly 3 weeks your taste buds do get a bit jaded, i remember dreaming of toast and marmite.
