Don't get so wound up over it mate, my 9yo can't eat meat off the bone properly either. If you're lucky sometimes the restaurants have a kids menu so you can order nuggies instead of stressing :).

Lol look at this dope who doesn’t understand how proper butchery works.

If the chunk is large enough, it can be useful to attack it with chopsticks in one hand, spoon in the other hand for support.

No way to retain dignity during the process, however. Just like life.

Lmao yeah the only way to consume chicken is processed into a fine pink goo, then crumbed and fried. No bones for babby.

Unlikely mate, I actually know how to eat instead of just horking it in with both hands, seppo-style.

Big Moon Cake update!!!

:siren: :siren: :siren: :siren:

So apparently that package of moon cakes was a variety pack!

I just had a quarter of this one



It is legit fuckin good. Like real good. It looks like there is an egg yolk in the middle too which was also real drat good.

This is the last one left and we have no idea what’s in it.



Moon cake good.

Gratz on your big wins on Mooncake Roulette. Mixed packs usually have the decency to label their poo poo, but the pack your coworker got looks budget as hell. What did he think of the other types, and did he know it was a variety pack?

He only had the first one and he said it was poo poo lol. He didn’t know they were all different but he tried that nut one and he agreed it was good.

I had that one last night which was good and me and another dude split this new one today. I’m gonna crack that last one open later tonight and see what it is though.

They might be labeled but we certainly can’t read it.

I recently got some mooncakes in Yokohama chinatown. Red bean paste, sunflower seed, sesame, and lotus with chestnut instead of egg yolk :swoon:
The flaky pork pastries were awesome :stwoon: but like so many good things, you can't just drop em in a box and enjoy 1-2 months later.

Chestnut mooncakes are definitely superior to most egg ones.

It tastes slightly different from the first one so maybe it’s a red bean?

It’s pretty good though! Can only eat a bit though because it’s super dense.

Yeah, that's probably the obligatory red bean one. Be sure to thank your coworker for taking the bullet for you by picking the crap one first, lol.

Yeah I will. I’m still not sure what flavor it actually was and he sure wasn’t he just said it was poo poo and tossed it lol.

I would absolutely eat these again especially that nut one.

Like, just having one is bad, by the end it's boxes and boxes of the things you get that no one sane will help you eat.

What? these things are great, they never last. My SO has learned to make them from scratch, has presses and molds and all.

I've eaten several moon cakes a day on occasion, I am not fat.

EDIT; some of my SOs mooncakes, before baking. Using DIY salted chicken yolk insted of duck.


Edit2, some baked ones:

China really just speedrunning late state capitalism over here.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/19/business/china-evergrande-debt-protests.html

NYT posted:

When the troubled Chinese property giant Evergrande was starved for cash earlier this year, it turned to its own employees with a strong-arm pitch: Those who wanted to keep their bonuses would have to give Evergrande a short-term loan.

Some workers tapped their friends and family for money to lend to the company. Others borrowed from the bank. Then, this month, Evergrande suddenly stopped paying back the loans, which had been packaged as high-interest investments.

The nut filled one was legit good.

The date one was good but nothing like amazing.

The red bean was was also good but again not amazing.

Get the nut filled one because it’s the best and the 4 other people at work said the same.
