Win Fuchsia Dunlop's 'Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper'
Ohhh, first post! My fave Chinese food would have to be a tie between my family's secret-recipe noodles and pork dumplings.....and Din Tai Fung's soup dumplings. Yum!
Grocery Ninja: Thousand-Year-Old Eggs and the Horse Urine Myth
My family has always eaten them in a tofu 'salad' - cubed silken tofu, cubed pidan, a handful of spring onion and pork floss, topped with a little soy sauce and sesame oil. I remember as a kid being a bit leery of the way it looked, but having grown up with the taste, I love how creamy and rich it tastes, and it provides a good contrast to the other ingredients in the dish (sometimes I still cringe a bit looking at it). I don't think I've ever noticed a smell, however.

Ohhh, I ate a lot of these types of snacks when I was a kid while visiting family in Japan. I think a lot of the appeal of these is being able to make something....even if they don't taste that great (heck, I was 5. Small spoons? AWESOME). Glad to see they're still being made.
