Cooking And Eating....“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es”

First......fry the uncooked potstickers in a couple of tbsp of avocado oil.....then add a favored combination of Thai and Vietamese hot-n-sweet sauces and cook in a hot skillet until caramelized......then add a half cup of water or vegetable broth and cover, with a lid or plate,  to create steam to facilitate the dough's absorption of liquids, thus tenderizing and moistening the potstickers......with a metal spatula, unstick the ruffled, filled dumplings and their sticky pan goo residue and move them to a plate, to be eaten with chopsticks,  a spear.....even a silver fork.......

   even the addition of some fresh salad greens were incapable of redeeming  this slimy, goopy glob of green oak, swiss chard, lolla rosa, tatsoi,  faro, crumbled feta  and goat cheeses, blueberries, wilted spinach and crushed garlic..... However, since the next door neighbor's dog licks up his own vomit, he thought of this as a delicacy!

      Try 'rolling up a 5" corn taco, filled with "stuff"..... here, with grated cheese, shredded cabbage, roasted chicken, tomato salsa and avocado crema....and eating it, without much of it ending up in its seated diner's lap.      I've been experimenting with Ways to roll these up, securely, into 'drippingless', 'droppingless' hand-held edibles that could be eaten with white-gloved hands......So far, this task has been an impossible one.....especially, while maintaining one's lips 'parallel to the tabletop'....   C'mon, Emily Post, you know you want another one!  I have a convenient 'Olympian' salad fork for scooping up the falling debris and a Belgian Linen lap napkin, with lace trim, to prevent those tiny bits of cabbage slaw from toppling down to the Silk Carpet.... There are specialized silver flatware devices that may be utilized, of course....for  the non-food handling, difficult  to catch and restrain,  'p...

COMES WITH FIVE (5!) PLASTIC PACKETS OF 'SAUCE' TO ADD TO THE TRAY OF FOOD....I ADDED TWO OF THE PACKETS, ONLY....HOWEVER, EVEN THAT AMOUNT WAS AS SALTY AS A COW'S SALT LICK....AND....ALMOST....INEDIBLE......EVEN AFTER HAVING ONLY A FEW FORKFULS OF THIS 'DISH' AND DOWNING A PINT OF HOT GREEN TEA....THE SALTY TASTE STILL LINGERS ON MY TONGUE...YUK!    SO....ZERO 'THUMBS UP' TO KROGER!   

 

North Indian Punjabi flatbread, called kulcha , brushed with ghee or avocado oil,  piled up with spicy chickpeas ( choley )  & shredded barbecued beef, over romaine lettuce... bathed in a horseradish and beet puree... then crowned with thin-sliced beefsteak tomato slices......  Now.....don't make a 'Mess''.......However, that certain mess, requiring a finger bowl,  is very likely, nevertheless... I suggest eating this  Punjabi Concoction with  your chowhoumd canine, rather than in polite human company.. and reserving your polite fingers for a dessert cookie...or a neatly assembled macaron....                                 and, now, that your fingers are cleaned and ready, once more.....how about wrangling this one!
