The youth in our congregation had an activity last week where their leaders hoped to expose them to foods from all over the world. They contacted anyone and everyone they could think of who had lived or worked overseas (either as a citizen or as a missionary, etc.) and asked us to provide a small dish of something…interesting. Something that might challenge their palates. I decided that a small dish of 鹹魚 (little salty fishes). They are fish. Tiny ones. That have been dried. To prepare them, grab a handful and rinse them off. Mix them up with a splash of oil and a splash of soy sauce, then steam them. Mine can’t seem to get soft enough if they’re just steamed with the rice, so I ended up putting them into a tiny pot with some water and cooking them until they were tender.
My kids love them! I never did hear if the kids at church liked them. Some people have issues with eating entire…animals. You know – with eyes and everything. Heh.
Now. For the GIVEAWAY. CSN has contacted me to do ANOTHER giveaway for them. My peeps, I'm so excited!! Because of my fancy Preferred Blogger Status (and your great responses to past giveaways), we're up to $55! All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, and I will choose a winner on Friday (11/26) in the morning (Black Friday!). Comments will close Thanksgiving, at midnight. The giveaway is open to anyone, but the gift certificate code will not cover international fees, so if you're a friend from Far Away, please be prepared to cover those yourself.
$55 can get you quite far on your Christmas list if you shop carefully at CSN, and they have some great deals right now!
Happy holidays, y'all, and good luck!
Oh I will respond to free money. :)
ReplyDeleteSo...those fish sound really good :) Remember when you brought home dried squid and I ate a bag full of them, and then blew up another 5 pounds the next day? Good times :)

Took me a minute to figure out that "bits 'o opinion" were the comments! Of course! I wanted to say that I went to a lovely Asian smorgasbord and went out of my way to eat little fishes with eyes and everything and they were mighty tasty, too! Life is short! Try something new everyday, if you can! Arly H.
ReplyDeleteI like my little fishes deep fried. Crunchy, yum! LOL! That's probably disgusting to most.
ReplyDeletePS - Don't worry, I know I missed the dateline for the draw.
