That is a traditional snack in Northern China, mainly Beijing/Tianjin area, called Mahua. It's not bread in the traditional sense since it is not baked, but fried. I think this is the fried doughsticks that FarkTypeSoldier talks about in his post.

Hi Vesicles... you are right Manhua is actually a more sweeten doughstick and I am going to have that for breakfast now

Wahhaha

From this gallery picture, could see that flour supplies are vital to crews diet. I think this is just one section out of many parts of a ship gallery.

I hope you meant Mahua. Manhua is manga

The most important distinguishing element of Mahua is sesame, but I think the dough they use is different too.

Thanks for highlighting the military term onboard a vessel's 'kitchen'

Again, thanks for pointing out; I didnt know the correct term to use until now.

Pri-Fly is Primary Flight control. Basically the 'control tower' of the carrier. That's where the air boss and mini boss works. Pry-Fly should not be confused with the FDC or the CATCC. FDC is Flight Deck controls and the CATCC is actually below deck and not on the island like the PriFly is. The Quija Board is located in the FDC. CATCC is Carrier Air Traffic Control that has all the fancy screens, radars, coom gear etc. They monitor the airspace around the carrier usually 75 miles out and beyond. when an aicraft is near like within 5 miles controls are handed over to the folks in the Pry Fly. Visual identification can usually be made by then unless reallycrappy weather conditions etc.

It's not. Deep fried dough sticks are known as You Tiao in Chinese, found on the top row, third tray from the left. But yeah, the one that Adeptitus pointed out is braided like challah.

No, you don't need sesame on Mahua although most mahua you find in Chinatown has sesame. The ones I used to eat when I was little back in Beijing had nothing extra on them. Simple dough thrown into hot oil and that's it. I used to enjoy watching them making it. It's always fun when it was about to rain. Since most of these stands were roadside carts and exposed to the elements, little rain drops getting into hot oil gets the oil to "explode". It's always fun to watch the guys hustle to cover the huge oil pan

Most Mahua I find in Tianjin have sesame (the ones I like to eat anyways...).

I'm reading that Mahua is fried in peanut oil? Maybe that's where the nutty flavour comes from (and not the Sesame).

Well, you can always go back to the lap top or net book if you want bigger screen size.

I usually go to the last page of a post everytime I open it and today I almost thought I walked into the wrong place...

Mahua? It's been so long since I've eaten it or heard of it from anyone, and I saw it here.....
