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.

If something is very spicy, the last thing to drink with it is water. That worsens the effect. Milk or other dairy is much better.

The Crusty Chronicles. Savories from Bakeries.

@Anna N@Kim Shook Don't forget Gala Pie. Basically a scotch egg reimagined as a pork pie. Also eaten at room temperature or on picnics -

I've only ever seen pork pies served cold. Well, room temperature. Usually in the manner @Anna Ndescribes. I guess they were invented to be eaten that way - perhaps in the fields after a long morning's farmwork. I had one last summer as part of a ploughman's lunch in the UK when I visited. Cornish pasties are normally eaten at room temperature and were also designed to be eaten at work in Cornwall's tin mines. Sort of bag lunches with edible bags. Pork pies are also a staple of picnics. Note exception: Yorkshire pork pies are eaten hot. -
I didn't mean to suggest frozen tofu was firmer; merely that it is interesting. A big favourite in hotpots, here.

I am happy to say I have never eaten Subway "food" in my life. I remember walking past one in Hong Kong a few years ago and thinking it stank.

Smoked, dried, red-braised tofu are all firm and delicious. Frozen tofu is interesting, too. My local markets have about 20 different kinds of tofu.

I don't know, but they'd be asking for trouble if they did make it that way intentionally. In fact, they got trouble whatever.

Stir fried mushrooms with ginger and any vegetable or protein

Probably never! A vegetarian visitor left it behind. -

They are not neccesarily the same thing. I have both and they are very different. -
Brined chicken, pig stomach mushrooms (猪肚菇 zhū dù gū), white chillies, garlic, white wine. Served with tagliatelle. Finished with grana padano.

But porcini are boletus edulis which certainly don't grow on sand dunes.

Porcini in dunes? Porcini need trees.

I didn't say chopsticks can't be used in the left hand. In fact, I can use them in either hand or both hands simultaneously. My party trick. The problem is the crowded banquet table. Anyway, my whole post was very tongue-in-cheek.

After last night's huge dinner, I wanted something simple tonight. Doesn't get much simpler than this. Pork cutlets with potato and carrot mash with olive oil. Whole grain Dijon mustard. There was a side of greenery which I not only forgot to photograph, but also forgot to eat.
