Singapore Airlines sells out meals on parked plane

It's the end of civilisation. KFC to sell stinky Luosifen in China There is no such thing as "chicken luosifen"! I notice they don't announce plans to sell it in Liuzhou. They wouldn't dare!

People in New Mexico live for 13.000 years. Must be great food!

These X-5 bars are a Korean chocolate bar which I buy in a Japanese store in China, I am guessing they might be Asian. But if you see any, buy them. They are so good I'm surprised the Geneva Conventions or some such international treaty didn't ban them. However, only buy the ones in the white wrapper. They are peanut flavoured. There is also a version in yellow wrapping which they gratuitously describe as "banana" flavour. Only if bananas taste like rancid, leprous, gangrenous socks which haven't been changed in months. Truly horrible.

Try here.

All you need is a wok, preferably carbon steel or cast iron, and maybe a wok stand depending on your regular stove. Unless you are a restaurant. Chinese home cooks do not have butane burners and in a quarter of a century in China, I've never seen an electric wok! 1.4 billion people here use woks, usually more than once a day. On regular stoves and seldom ouside.

That confused me. I had to Google adovada. At first I thought it was a dyslexic avocado. But I know zilch about Mexican food, New or regular.

I'm, sorry but where do you get the poha to soak before you make the poha?

Chicken and Chips. Why not? Didn't make enough chips. Off now to correct that error and have extra chips for dessert. See you soon!

Particularly this one.

Yes, I saw that. A good list. Agree 100% with Delia's inclusion. Would add any of Keith Floyd's books.

Garlicky shrimp with morels, basil and lemon. Orzo.

It might take a while. My oven is dead.

I'll try something like that, but miss out on the red bell pepper, thanks. And use a different seasoning.

Homemade wontons in chicken broth with lettuce.

Taste better than it sounds.

The two most common terms in Chinese are 鸡爪 (jī zhuǎ), literally chicken's claw, and 凤爪 (fèng zhuǎ), literally phoenix claw.

Beef, chickpeas (garbanzos), tomato, ras-el-hanout, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli. Rice. There was also stir fried cabbage on the side.
