In that situation I will and do and have. Now today on Forumosa I just wanted to call out that this type of thing happens. I do not feel like complaining to all of you
They are used to pissing In public in London Street. They even put open urinals around the pub areas now. London and Paris is always full of piss on the streets.
Speaking as a Dutchie: it is certainly not fried stuff, most people in the Netherlands eat dishes that originate from all over the world. Typicall traditional Dutch cuisine is heavy stuff though, lots of potato & veg with some kind of meat & gravy for example, and only eaten by some; however, we do have a sub cultural thing called a ā snackbarā were you can buy deep fried-snack and all kind of fries. Not healthy, and mostly done on the go. If anything, I find Taiwan extremely poor as far as healthy cuisine . Almost every dish is either loaded with sugar, contains fast amounts of meat ( which for me as a flexitarian is hardship) , is restricted in the kind of vegetables used and the quantity of it, and lots and lots is pan fried. And I know ā healthyā is subject for discussion on its own, but all this sugary stuffš wow.
Yes !, let me take another opportunity to explain , as I have done my whole live, everywhere I go and the topic is raised:the wooden shoesā¦are NOT something anybody, with the exception of some farmers, have ever or will ever wear. Please peopleā¦WOODEN shoesā¦ And no, we also do not run around in the clothing of a milkmaid or farmboy from the 18th century anymore
The fruits are amazing here, I agree. Italy- love the wine, the cheese, pasta that taste great with the simplest of ingredients, fresh pizza, fresh icecream. And the coffee!
There is in fact an astonishing range of vegetables in Taiwan.
For proper sit-down places serving Chinese style cooking, finding out what they have involves chatting with the staff and ordering oneās preferred choice (often off the menu).
If one is eating in night markets and at noodle shops, however, then yes I could see the limits here, as that stuff is not healthy!
Not arguing on the variety (still a far cry from Italy though), but how they cook it is veryā¦ boring, unimpressive. Not their strength at all. My biased opinion though
The boiled veggies with industrial brown sauce and / or pork fat on top . . . maybe with chunks of uncooked garlic . . . yes I fully agree that go-to move is terrible here. No thanks!
When I praised the range of veggies, I am thinking more of the high heat cooking style similar to what @Taiwan_Luthiers had mentioned, especially if the kitchen knows what they are doing with chicken oil and ginger andācruciallyāhow to lay off the garlic.
Actually, growing up in Amsterdam, some of my friends and I used to wear wooden shoes. They were just practical. We were always running around construction sites and digging up mud so wooden shoes and boots were pretty much standard wear for us for a number of years until we grew out of rolling around in mud and breaking into construction sites. Theyāre great for keeping your feet warm (with woolen socks) and dry
