September 07, 2004Beer Snacks
In Qingtian a favourite snack when sipping on a coldie was duck tongue. In Zhaoqing we seem to be a bit more refined we are eating pickled garlic. It's fantastic and let's just say it keeps away the vampires. I asked for the recipe it was so nice and as we speak I have a jar of them pickling away. They say it takes a week and my guess is I have 22 weeks here so I should get it right just in time to leave. The recipe as I interpreted is something along these lines. Pickled Garlic Ingredients: Directions: Serve with Black Vinegar as a dipping sauce. Mine is currently bubbling away and it's been a week, it smells great but I have a husband who wants to leave it another week. Will let you know how it tastes, and apologies if my taste buds have moved to my butt after a year here. I remember when I thought eating ducks tongue, pigs ear and pigs tail was disgusting - a year later I'm kind of missing it. Haven't eaten it for 3 weeks. Note - I think it takes more than 2 weeks, I'll suggest you just leave it and come back later. 3 weeks and still needing more time Comments
