My coworker walks over and tosses me a pineapple cake package, says its from Taiwan. Open it, bite, I think my saliva glands ejaculated.

Ingredients (i'm translating): wheat flour, pineapple-paste, butter egg, sugar, milk powder jelly :confused:, malt, white gourd jelly (can you believe it? no preservatives or weird sh^t)

Effective Period: 30 days


What delicacies does your local area have? (I'm talkin about lip-smackin good stuff, no preservatives or mass-produced garbage like Orea-double frosting lardo disks)

i moved to kansas a few months ago and havent yet come across anything particularly outstanding. my boss and his kid like the local mexican place and bar-b-q but im not terribly impressed by any of it. its good, just not great.

back home in north carolina....i miss pecan pies and good biscuits. and most of the bar-b-q there was good.

theres a really good pizza place 3 blocks from my apartment that i really like, thats about it.

if anyone around salina, ks has any ideas ill take em....i could go for something *good*

I love Polish food, and there is a little town (kind of in the middle of detroit) that makes the best perogis and the like. There are two restaurants that are there that make me happier than any fancy place i know. They are even better than the homemade ones my great aunt makes.
Also, there is a city in Michigan that makes really good "squeaky" cheese. Also, Mackinac Island fudge is great too!

not in the pineapple cakes, but probably in the dried pork sung :D



Red Leaf (hong yieh) bakery on Main Street/Booth Memorial is getting a good amount of business in Queens, and not just from the Chinese community so I've heard. Best tasting Chinese cakes and the whipped cream is nothing I've ever tasted before.

Sweet Corn when in season is the best here. That crap they sell in the stores has nothing on what we have.
