Okay, I don't REALLY wanta know, but I've GOTTA ask (how's that for a Catch 22?) The top left hand compartment looks like someone cut the ends of pig snouts......good call on the pass on this meal, I'd say......maybe it's a NEW Chinese torture technique?

Yo Terry!

I have to respond to KCbomber23! The top left compartment: lotus root.
The top right compartment: bean sprouts.
Your guess is as good as mine about the stuff in the top center compartment!
I could never understand why Chinese eat long grain rice when short grain is soooooo much better.

Lotus root - -really? hmm...heard of it, but don't think I've ever actually seen it before. What can I say...does kind resemble the tip of a pig's nose though doesn't it? Have to remember, I'm from the midwest - just a farm girl - - and you may not believe what is done with pigs around here....can you say "Mountain Oyster"?

Yo Terry,

We're using your blog to chit chat! Hello kcbomber23 this is anonymous again what do you mean just a farm girl -- I'm from the Southwest! Just happens my Mom was Japanese so I've eaten some standard Oriental foods along with the standard Southwestern: burros, tacos, enchiladas, etc. I've heard of Mountain Oysters, but I've avoided them thus far!

Yo back at ya Anonymous (oh, & hey to you too Terry). Born and raised on the farm....and have seen WAY too many pigs (some animal, some human), even helped harvest mountain oysters a time or two (now that looks impressive on a resume, huh?) - but, like you, there's NO WAY I'd ever try them. Luckily, I work for a Japanese company so I get some GREAT oriental food often, but I've never tried the lotus root before. Is it good? You are very lucky to have such a neat heritage and be raised with two great cultures! Southwestern food- that's right up my alley too!

Hello kcbomber23! Yo to you Terry! Thank you for letting us use you blog to communication with other than your gracious self!

I tried lotus root at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, but it doesn't seem to make it into the Arizona desert. Japanese seem to like bambo shoots better because I find at the oriental food stores here.

Yeah, I can see it on a resume...
"Purveyor or oysters of the family Sus."
