Some food impressions from my recent trip to China.
Delicious and various food, I loved it.
And for the first time travelling in Asia I didn't even get a slight food poisoning. [emoji106]


Fried chicken with black pepper


Rice noodle with chicken


Spicy tofu skin salad and winter melon soup with shrimp


Szechuan pepper beef sauce with rice noodle


Spare ribs, eggs and chicken feet with dark herbs sauce


Appetisers


Duck with curry. Not much meat, more bones. But sauce very delicious


Beef ball soup


Spicy beef soup


Mild beef soup with Flatbread crumbs




Chinese barbeque


My favourite drink (except beer [emoji16]), pear with crystal sugar

Roadkill anyone?

 

As if there aren't enough rice dishes in this country: risotto agli asparagi (my sons like it because there is cheese in it)

unknowingly i had a moderately spiced pumpkin soup (part of a set menue) a couple of years ago. the taste was excellent. if i had known before what it was i wouldn't have tried a single spoon.

Presumably he doesn't normally care for pumpkin.

yesterday i asked our cook whether she knows how to prepare pumpkin soup. the answer was "yes, of course!" two hours ago i had a beautiful creamy (not too) spicy pumpkin soup and ordered more for tomorrow.

 

the answer to the question "why not pumpkin?" is that stupid me never considered pumpkin to be food although my dogs love it.

no we don't and even during my 15 years in the U.S. of A. i never tried it. we have of course pumpkins in Germany but i have never heard that it is eaten by humans. but perhaps i don't have any bloody idea.

Try roast pumpkin seeds if you get the chance they are delicious. Like huge sunflower seeds. Good drinking snack.

when I was a kid in the US we always had pumpkin pies fer thanksgiving (it's traditional) and I couldn't stand them, horrible mush inna crust...then my Tennessee grandma made a pecan pie one summer (that looked like a pumpkin pie) and served it up with vanilla ice cream...'but grandma that's a pumpkin pie?' 'no, it's not, just you try it...' and I did as I always trusted my grandma...and it was delicious...

 

after that I never trusted any adults except fer my grandma again...

Yes I am aware of that. Thank you for making such a mind blowing observation. Although the question was phrased using the topic as pumpkin pie it was more of an invitation to see if Germany used pumpkins for anything edible. Why do you try to spoil a thread that is otherwise one of the more friendly on TV?  

 

Again please stick top posting food or recipes or something useful. In interest of this thread I simply won't respond to your off topic comments again. :)

Well, food goes through the mouth, not the brain.

 

That's what many people overlook.

Tutsi! baby Cochabamba chilli plants.

Well, well don't get your knickers in a twist about nothing.  No-one was trying to 'spoil' anything, apart from in your own mind, sorry to say.  You really don't need to justify yourself either.

 

If you choose not to respond, go ahead.  In the meantime, how about posting some recipes?  I  don't think I have seen you do that yet.

Don't be yet another silly Thaivisa foolish boy.  

 

I've been cooking for 60 years,  about 50 more than you by the tenor of your posts, and I'm obviously a lot older mentally than you too, as well as chronologically.

 

Now, about those recipes of yours ...

I have contributed many times to this thread with food and how to make it.  I am even the OP of the thread if you hadn't noticed.

excellent!...now nurture them remembering that their usual habitat is very dry at 2558m above sea level, they look very healthy!...when they bear fruit consult with yer friend's cook in CBBA regarding the best local salsa recipe (lla'cua in the local quechua dialect...)

 

Prof Naam does it again! introducing the seed of central andean cuisine into an otherwise barren culinary landscape...I really useta like the local salsa in CBBA...slather it on potatoes, bread, anything...a tbbl spoon stirred into a caldo at lunch time is indescribable with wonderful fresh bread rolls...

the seeds for the plants in the picture were obtained in La Paz, another 1000m plus.
