  1. I guessed but I'm a bit surprised about one thing. Mi goreng is fried noodles; no frying in those instructions. Are they pre-fried and then dried or are they just using a well-known, if sometimes misunderstood 'exotic' name? I'll pick up a pack and try them out some time.
  2. The ingredients list sounds really appetising! This is from the "chicken" variety. Not a drop of chicken in them.
  3. No, they aren't soupy. They require 3 mins simmering, then are drained and mixed with the seasoning sachet contents on a plate. In addition to these two, I also get the mi goreng in two versions: spicy and not so spicy.
  4. Indonesian Noodles I ate these at a friend's house last summer (she is no cook) and thought they were good for the genre. Bought two packs of 5. I opened the chicken variety first.
  5. I had read the article before I did the post on lungs, but didn't mention it for exactly that reason.
  6. I am only going by what the article you linked to as quoted by @Anna Nsays. Of course I know it couldn't have happened the way they describe. When an article is so badly written, I tend to dismiss anything and everything it says.
  7. Either way, the rule's proposal preceded the study which, according to the article, prompted the rule.

    Dinner 2023

    Ordered delivery food from a local Thai place. Not up to cooking tonight. Described by them as Tom Yum soup, Thai garlic pork ribs, pineapple and crab fried rice, stir-fried cabbage. The soup was good. The ribs were meaty and garlicky. The rice was OK, but no trace of crab taste and absolutely no discernable pineapple. It did have prawns, cashew nuts and a pork floss garnish, though. Tom Yum Soup Garlic Ribs Thai Fried Rice Cabbage All edible but underwhelming.
  9. I can't make it this year, but if anyone is in the area, I recommend this (in French). It will be bloody good!
  10. General Tso's Chicken was invented in America. Few people in China have even heard of it.
  11. They have contacted me and confirmed that is what happened. They are now sending someone to collect the goods and convey them to the correct destination. Sorry, cats!
  12. Someone's making a killing. That is 10 times the price here in China.
  13. Yes you can.
  14. I'm thinking I must have ordered something from that supplier in the past and their database has thrown up the wrong customer.
  15. They are 酸乔头 (suān qiáo tóu), Chinese Onions or Allium chinense G.Don. A bit like scallion heads but more bulbous.
  16. Nothing special. Cheddar and pickles.
  17. Now I am baffled. This afternoon I received a delivery, clearly marked for me with my name, address and phone number. It contained nine 525g cans of "Military Specific Reserve" stewed beef from Russia! I have no idea who sent it or why. The cans are only labelled in Russian but a sticker has been applied to the top with Chinese. Bizarre. This is not something I would even eat. The local cats are in for a treat.
  18. The yellow croaker is the most likely candidate. Very common.
  19. Crystalised ginger. Usually I make this myself, but mobility issues pointed me towards buying it in. A load more sugar than required but not totally bad.
  20. and still getting answers wrong
  21. I know, but if you insist, I won't tell you. Anyway, you are safe. It's sold out.
  22. Yet both Microsoft and Google are spending millions promoting their efforts as 'super search engines'. They aren't.

    Lunch 2023

    Toasted Irish cheddar on Russian style bread with Chinese artichokes. More than one round was had.
  24. If I were in NYC, I'd be on my phone booking.
  25. The Guardian view on ChatGPT search: exploiting wishful thinking
