Year of the Horse

[liuzhou]

As I write, we are about two hours away from The Year of the Horse 🐴.

 

All day, people have been chopping, mixing, cooking and preparing for the Family Reunion dinner, tonight. This elaborate feast is usually home made but an occasional bought-in dish is acceptable.

 

Here in Guangxi, this is the usual mix of Cantonese dihes such as white cut chicken and.spicy hot Hunan food. One dish that always returns is a Zhuang style "overturned bowl" - fried and stemed pork belly and taro.

 

I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.

 

Any plans to celebrate in any culinary way?

We used to be invited along with many others to celebrate the Chinese New Year by a Caucasian friend who was married to a Chinese man and who has sadly passed away.   It was always a time for much joy and amazing food.  There was so much food and so many different dishes.

Tje rule of thumb for all meals is for there to one dish to match the mumber of diners plus a minimum of one for the table. This can go much higher at CNY.
