HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Give the clueless a clue Thursday. What are they? Hey I know. Start a Let's Go Yum Cha thread and introduce me to a different Dim Sum each day - bit like cheese of the week... But I want English names, description and a review Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 what about a nice Thai salad. These have been whitened and bones removed Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Thursday is right about the chook feet cooked with blackbean sauce and chilly. That's the way I have them, too. The fried ones were just for effect .. Right about the "Food is in Kan-ton 広æ±â€ã€€ Loved the Yum-cha in HK. I find it stranger when the Brits eat ox tongue and tail, and react to feet.

Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Really? then things have changed. It was so when I was a kid in the '60s. Ox tail soup. Ox tongue & gravy. Loved it. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Oxtail and Oxtongue used to be a big part of a British menu? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Never eaten Ox tail or Ox tongue in my life...well oxtail soup but thats from Heinz and I'd imagine there is very little Oxtail actually in there. Mind you I do eat Black Pudding and Haggis and all the lovely crap thats mashed and boiled and made into that! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yeah Heinz Oxtail soup which I guess has 0% to do with an ox's tail! Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Ox tail's yummy bit is the soft bones (gelatinous bits) in between. Just like chook feet. The meat around the bones is good, too. It used to be on every menu I've eaten out with my folks. Was my favourite. The food that used to be popular and you don't see them so much. Reminds me of Pavlova dessert. The baked merrenge (whipped egg white) on pie base topped with fruit (kiwi, peach, etc) Used to be on every Aussie menue. You don't see that any more. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Bit like Heinz Big Red Tomato soup. I have a friend with bizarre food allergies - serious allergies to almost all fruit and veg. She can eat potato, white onion and pea's - that is IT! As a child they discovered she could eat Heinz Big Red Tomato soup without a reaction, but not sauce, not other Heinz soups and not other tomato soup brands... So the medical peoples, kind as they were, contacted Heinz to discover the secrets behind the soup in case something about the way it was processed would allow this girl to eat other foods... no response from Heinz. They refused to give away their secrets. The logical conclusion was that Heinz BR Tomato Soup had no tomatoes in it! Well...today she is still able to eat it, and still can't eat other tomato products. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Haha funny that. Still like the Heinz Tomato. Haven't had Oxtail soup since I was a kid but other than that ox tail-less soup, never consumed any ox-tail or ox-tonge Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Long story, Pavlova used to be a code-word for sex. I liked Pavlova. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I had one of those too. It was fudge. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I feel cheated with Heinz, too. I believed Beans Means Heinz until I went to Kentucky and had "real beans" baked in an oven. Never touch tinned stuff anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Heinz Tomato soup is different in Oz than it is in the UK. I was actually really excited when I saw it in my aunt's cupboard as I hadn't had it for the 2 years I was in Japan, so I opened it in anticipation but I was disappointed....its not the same soup. It wasn't that it was bad, just i was expecting the same soup that I could get in the UK and it wasn't Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 What's wrong with that word?! Came about as my girlfriend very much liked clotted cream fudge. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Ok. I got confused and mixed lemon merrenge pie and pavlova together and created a hibrid in my head. Link to post Share on other sites
