I didn't mean to suggest that you did something incorrectly. I don't know exactly what you bought. Although, looking it up I found on Amazon that it contains caramel which is another bad sign. Going by Amazon's price, I'd say you could probably find something better for very little more. Anyway, perhaps this discussion would be better in the Shaoxing Wine topic.

Doew the bottle give any indicaton of where that "Shaoxing" wine is made? I've never seen anything like that and their website gives no information. I do see from your bottle that it's salted. Never a good sign.

Yeah And I've never heard that pronunciation anywhere but America. They are 180 degrees wrong.

I have seldom read so much ignorant nonsense as this. The "writer" gets everything wrong. https://www.chefsresource.com/how-to-say-basil/

Yes. Here potatoes are not used so much as a starch but as a vegetable in its own right, just like any other. This is a popular way to deal with them. The potatoes retain a crispiness and the vinegar cuts the richness of the soy sauce braising sauce of the meatballs.

红烧狮子头 (hóng shāo shī zi tóu), Red Cooked Lion's Head Meatballs. 70:30 fatty pork, glutinous rice meatballs fried then braised in soy sauce. 醋溜土豆丝 (cù liū tǔ dòu sī), Vinegared Shredded Potato Julienned potato with vinegar and green and red chilli. Served with rice.

Sauscisse is the (nuch) older version from which the English derivation comes. Saucisson is modern French, although both are still used.

Almost. Boudin is indeed French but only refers to the two specific sausages you mention: boudin noir which is a blood sausage from the Champagne region; and boudin blanc from Brittany and Normandy and which is made from white meats and milk. Neither contain rice. The French for sausage in general is saucisse, from which the English was derived in the Middle Ages. Boudiin in southern USA is from Louisiana and is totally unrelated to the French versions. It does include rice. I know nothing about the Amish, but suspect theirs is related to.the Louisiana version.

Coincidentally, I came across this today. https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/food-drink/experts-say-storing-potatoes-one-36556687

Unfortunately, that often doesn't work. Many websites (especially media sites) detect and block VPNs.

Yes. Same here. We get the green skinned variety, too but purple is much more more common.
