Chinese Food

[eldar]

We had dim sum for lunch yesterday, at China Experience on Shaftesbury Avenue. Their Shanghai dumplings weren't nearly as soupy as they were last time :-( Still, it was good, and very very filling.

Then Alexis made latkes (potato pancakes) for dinner, a new experience for me, very tasty, and I think next time I need to experiment with alternatives to apple sauce as an accompaniment for them.

Apple sauce is the one true way. However, sugarbeet syrup is almost as good, if you can find it.

No, I'm thinking totally out-of-the-box here. There's a jar of Nutella lying around somewhere....

Isnb't that a perfectly normal thing to have on latkes? I'd certianly consider it normal, although I'd never use the word latkes, I eat the thing.

Cheese, now that would be weird. Or pastrami. (But ham I've had)

I wouldn't think of it as normal--latkes are savoury rather than sweet, with onion mixed into the potato. I'd think of apple sauce or sour cream as usual. Or serve them with meat and gravy (mmm, brisket)
