To have not known this and feel shooketh

[Pusheenicorn]

When you get seaweed from the chinese...

It isn't seaweed.

It's CABBAGE!!!

Must have had it over 100 times from the chinese and I never knew.

I can't have been the only one?!

Thanks weeds - apt name!

Bastards! I'm calling Trade Descriptions

I did not know this!!!!

I was informed of this. I thought they were confused

Hundred year old eggs (including how to make them if you can't resist )

Speaking of eggs, I once watched a chap in a Beijing restaurant with a hard boiled egg. He picked it up with his chopsticks - a feat in itself - but then ate it shell and all

WHAT?! Seriously... What?! Well, that's ruined my perception of myself 'look how well I'm doing, being a little out there and extravagant in trying new things.... Like fried fucking cabbage' 😂

Spring greens, not cabbage I think. However it has too much sugar or sweetener on it for me.

"Spring green" a variety of cabbage, as is "savoy" and "kale".

And Bombay Duck is fish.

Fish so smelly, it has to be transported in airtight containers.

Not only am I shooketh about no seaweed, I am even more disturbed by the cabbage imposter being sprinkled with sugar? SUGAR? With a savoury Chinese? Does it double up as a pudding?

For once, I'm glad I don't like Chinese food. I've always felt a bit left out, but not anymore with this cabbage nonsense.

Yes I knew it was cabbage. I don't think it actually looks like seaweed though! Seaweed in the sea is usually big massive bits of brown stuff that seems to have bubbles in it. I know I described that really badly.

@Weedsnseeds1, it's Welsh Rarebit, not Welsh rabbit!!!

It might be umami they put on it.
Never had Chinese seaweed/cabage.
Japanese seaweed is nice.
Korean pickled kimchee is lovely and very addictive.

Welsh Rabbit?!?!

It's Rarebit! Christ!

Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know whether the soy sauce used in Japanese takeaway is soy sauce and sugar? Or is it Kikkoman soy sauce? We really like it but didn't want to buy a bottle of Kikkoman and find out its not the same thing.

The soy sauce used is sweetish and not salty.

Thank you.

Meh I knew that and my general knowledge is shit.

Found this out about 30 years ago. Would still willingly eat my own bodyweight in the stuff.

It's rarebit or rabbit - both names are correct. Look it up

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_rarebit

There is also sea kale.
They are delicacies

Kale is not a delicacy.

Kale is a penance.

spotted dick doesn't contain dicks

WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!

All British isles seaweed is edible (not saying it's nice, but it won't harm you!).

Schadenfreude Müller yoghurt with balls doesn't contain testicles either

I once took the piss out of DH for asking what was in prawn toast, and now you're telling me it is PORK!

In other shock Chinese crispy seaweed news, the delicious orangey coloured stuff that comes on the top of it is made of scallops. My vegetarian friend told me this and I didn't believe her! But I asked the restaurant and it is indeed true.
