Re: Your Favorite Foods...What you like to eat
Well, after several initial attempts to order stuff went bad since I had no idea what I was ordering, I have been banned from ordering. I just sit there and eat whatever they got me. This is convenient espeically the Chinese style of eating is "communal eating". We don't get our onw dish. All dishes are put in the middle of the table and we scoop from the dish into our own plates. So they simply order enough dishes for however many people at the table.
Sorry to beat to death... Chinese and English on menu?
And I LOVE chicken feet!! LOVE them! Whenever we go Dim Sum, I would get 5-6 plates of them and would not allow anyone to touch it, ALL MINE!! Not so much for duck feet though. They look freaky...
YOU are NOT COMING W/ ME to the tea house.
I eat tentons AND tongues. Actually we used to eat pig tongues a lot when we were still living in China. Tentons have to be cooked thoroughly, or they are so tough. I tried it a couple times at home (cooking them all day in a slow cooker, but can never get the kind of tenderness we get at restaurants. They probably use pressure cooker though.
Yea, same with my mom. 6 hrs and sometimes it's still sun baked rubber. Pressure cooker definitely helps.

Charcoal? isn't that a little dangerous on top of a table? And I thought hot pot is a national winter "dish".
Have you ever tried what they call turnip cake I don't like it I prefer it made from potatoes, its nice a couple of days old with dice up bacon or ham in it with a beaten fried and shredded egg.
I have'nt got the exact recipe does anyone have it?
You mean taro? Potato isn't Chinese and Chinese bacon will probably hide its taste.
For taro cake, I think (Mom mentioned it) you cook your taro first, chunky or mush is your choice. The starch (regular or sweet rice flour, don't remember which, probably regular rice) is mixed in hot water. Chinese bacon/Chinese sausage, dried shrimp-which you fry first. Five spice. little salt. Mix, steam, slice, dip in egg and pan fry.
Same with Pork Buns whose got the recipe to get that white fluffy dough mixture> I just make it from a standard white bread recipe and steam it, its not quite the same though.
Ammonia. Baking don't need ammonia, but steaming does. And let it stand and expand longer I guess.
Salmon is good I could eat a whole one by myself.
Salmon belly and salmon wings..... oo, that's good.
Meanwhile Im gonna have wild duck tonight Shot them in the Weekend, Ive got my own lake/duckpond on my property and some ducks land on it to escape the public lakes and escape the other hunters. Have you guys ever gone hunting I go pig hunting with my mate but I lost a couple of my best dogs got killed by one last season so Ill have to do something about replacing them. Wild pig is really tasty, same as deer, much better than farmed ones.
I live in California. TT_TT What'd you use?
And what'd you do with the shots in the duck?
