Now those are some onion rings.  I detest the puffy heavily coated battered ones - the onion just seems to steam inside.  Those look perfect!

Yes-  a recent stroll through the Asian market.

 

I also picked up something called Taku Choy, new to me  and a cool addition to my soups.  Not sure this had it though

@HungryChris I loved the 2 dishes always on your table. I see one is salt. What is the larger one on top of the napkins used for?  You are a sandwich master!

Why thank you, @heidih. We were looking for a second salt tub in Italy, a while back, because I was constantly moving the one we had from the cooking area to the table and knew it was just a matter of time before it was dropped. As soon as Deb saw the bigger one, she just had to have it, even though it was too big.

Deb keeps Euros in it and I use it to hold down the napkins when the A/C is running.

Spicy minced pork with fresh sweet bamboo shoots. Rice.

After a bit of overindulgence in the  last week (or month ? year ?) I have to cut back ... Low carb usually works best for me, so today cabbage-based “pizza” with mushrooms. It can’t fool you, but with a lot of toppings you get that pizza feeling on a neutral-tasting carrier. I accidentally browned it a bit too much, but decided that actually that is not a bad thing ...

I am obviously too immersed in the holiday season. My first thought was "Awwww...it looks like a Christmas tree!"

 

[liuzhou]

I had a plan for lunch, but a chance find in a small store changed everything.

 

Over a year ago my regular supplier disappeared and there has been none to be found. Until today. I had just left the bakery where I purchase baguettes and took an unusual route. Outside a small store was a pile of these.

 

 

Blood sausage. Pig's blood and rice. Half lengthwise, fry, drop onto similarly sliced baguette. No butter or other lubricant required. Cover. Put in mouth, chew and swallow. Make another one. Repeat until sated.

 

 

 

Accompany with beer or builder's tea. I never drink builder's tea, so it was a beer.

 Black pudding sounds so much more appetizing. I loved it as a child but haven’t seen it in years. I don’t know how I would react now. If I close my eyes and concentrate I can recall the mouth feel  more so than the taste.

I called it blood sausage as a direct translation of the Chinese. It is more like the the black pudding I grew up with last century in Scotland than say a French boudin noir, but I love them all.

On my rare visits back to the UK, my beautiful daughter always makes sure to stock up for me. Stornoway Black Pudding - the food of the Gods.

In the past I've know about split pea soup - usually comes with Ham.

 

ATK has a recipe for "pea soup"  - no ham and it's not split

Maybe it's as thick as a foggy day in London....  

 

 

We're moving our freezer so trying to empty what we can - this was an excuse to use up some more chicken stock - so my wife volunteered to make this - and it's good!

 

P.S. the 70s want this color of green back...
