Can you guess where I got this cotton candy? No, the answer isn’t in an asian aisle.
Here’s a hint.

When I dine at restaurants, I like to order things I can’t cook myself. And since I don’t know how to cook many things, I usually have a lot of menu options. An exception to this little rule of mine at Asian restaurants is vegetables. I rarely order stand-alone vegetable dishes because Asian greens are one of the handful of things I can cook relatively and consistently well. But I have an exception to this exception. (I never said I was normal, did I?)
Pea shoots. When properly cooked, this vegetable is tender, naturally sweet, and delicately pea flavored. I usually eat pea shoots sautéed with garlic at Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants. It’s delicious, one of my favorite vegetables.
But I’ve also eaten pea shoots that were tough and stringy…at my own hands.
If I had to use only one word to describe this Mango Coconut Jelly, it would be fun.
But before I expand on that, let me get to the warning.
Yes, this item comes with its own caution—Please take separate bite and chew before swallowing.—because it’s a potential choking hazard (even more instructions for eating the jelly and avoiding choking on it are on the back of the bag). Keeping the warning in the back of my mind, I forged ahead to eating the darn thing.
Having this Web site has reacquainted me with many childhood favorites, like this Bin-Bin Rice Cracker. I remember that it used to cost 69 cents then, and now it’s 89 cents. I won’t Go There by telling you how many years ago that was; I’ve got to keep some things to myself. |
