In UK, I'd be talking about these. But I'm in China and will say the same.

How uncouth! I'm going to try immediately! 😁

I really don't know. The only peas, as I know them, I've ever found are greenish, rock hard, over starchy and you can boil them for weeks and they remain rock hard. I can get snow peas and the like, which I do like, but regular garden peas - forget it.

豌豆粉 just means pea flour. That is common. But never split peas. My 8,888th post. China's luckiest number!

Where I live borders Yunnan, but I've never seen split peas in China, so I'm guessing not popular. I can't even find them on the online shopping portals except one where they are imported from India (and little is imported from India - relationships are not good). Anyway, your dish looks and sounds great.

Busy day. Leftovers and fridge food (nearly). Roast duck, re-crisped skin, white chilli, garlic, shimeji mushrooms and tagliatelle.

Me too. I butter them or sandwich them with strawberry jam filling. Good with cheddar cheese, too. Must be McVities, though.

Tonkin jasmine (Telosma cordata) goes under many names such as pakalana vine, Tonkinese creeper, Chinese violet, cowslip creeper, telosoma etc. In Chinese it is 夜香花 or 夜来香. It is a flowering plant native to Guangdong and Guangxi of China and also cultivated in Vietnam (on the Bay of Tonkin, hence the name.) It has a delicate lemony scent and is used in both southern Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine (where it is known as bông thiên lý.) - from my blog. Wash them in salty water. The critters quickly evacuate the premises.

They are foraged. Yes, China is a bit ahead, but farmed morels are still only found in limited quantities and are more expensive than foraged!

Irrelevant. US law does not apply in the EU, or anywhere else for that matter.

Yesterday, was the mid-autumn festival aka moon festival and the time for mooncakes. I'm not a big fan and some are just horrible. Here, is a round up of the worst (in the writer's opinion. It incudes one from Liuzhou. Having sampled this a while back I can concur. One of the worst things I've ever eaten.

I'm told she is teething and not much interested in eating, but was determined to get that food into her mouth herself.

A very short video showing my local friend's kid using chopsticks for the first time. English in background because said friend is a trained English teacher and is working with her slightly elder daughter.
