"U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s recent visit to China was per usual, as she attended meetings with leaders to strengthen relations between the two countries. But she said one dinner, where she accidentally ate magic mushrooms, stood out.
“I went with this large group of people, and the person who had arranged our dinner did the ordering. There was a delicious mushroom dish. I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties. I learned that later,” Yellen told CNN of her four-day July trip to China.
She said that no one at the dinner party was affected by the mushrooms.
“I read that if the mushrooms are cooked properly, which I’m sure they were at this very good restaurant, that they have no impact,” she said. “But all of us enjoyed the mushrooms, the restaurant, and none of us felt any ill effects from having eaten them.”
Yellen ate dinner at a restaurant called Yi Zuo Yi Wang, or In and Out, in Beijing, which serves Yunnan food, inspired by the cuisine from the province in southwestern China."
