Looking for a particular Chinese snack...

[RossMAN]

Is anyone else scratching their head and saying WTF?

Now I'm curious what this tastes like but I doubt I'd want to know the contents.

 

[ragazzo]

speaking of lap cheong, i boil them for a few minutes on high. then i throw em on a frying pan and fry em. good stuff

 

[tantos]

I've had a serious craving for them recently.

Serious craving for some sausage? Isn't that everyday on ATOT for you?

You live in Portland.
Cart your ass up to Seattle's Chinatown and just look in a pretty much any chinese food shop and get a few.
Remember, they taste best when fried. Cooking oil not needed.

Seattle's Chinatown is weak. You have to go up to Vancouver or down to San Fran.

Hmm.. from the description it sounds a lot like the Vietnamese snack to me. I think the Vietnamese word for it is "nam". Is that what you're talking about? It's made of pork and soft. A little bit crunchy because of the pig skin mixed into it.

 

[VTBigBear]

hmm this is making me mucho hungry


there is some Korean stuff that is similar to what you are talking about..

they are usually in a orange wrapper.. and the sausage is pink and very generic... tasty little snacks..

SSSSNNNNNNAAAAAAAPPPP INTO A SLIM JIM!!!!

/my 2 cents

 

[abc]

wow, i totally dont know what this is, which is something i am personally surprised about. if it is viet, well i'll be asking a friend of mine.

 

[bonk102]

Fish Sausage? Not sure how i feel about that, Pork Sausage is bad enough

 

[Snuffaluffaguss]

You know what's funny? THere are two of these things in my fridge right now with no labels, but your description is right on, and my jap roomate isn't home, I'll ask when he gets here though.

 

[gunblade]

So anyone figure out what it is called in Mandarin or in cantonese or English?

Probably can look it up in SF chinatown.

 

[lupohki]

Weenie Tots ? ?Nature?s Most Perfect Food.?

 

[gopunk]

i know what you're talking about, but meh i think it's nasty

 

[VTboy]

Do you mean Lap Xuong. The only Chinese sausage I know about is Lap Xuong ( thats how it is spelled in vietnamese)

 

[Pepsei]

I have no idea what they are, probably ghetto chinese snack. ha ha.

 

[andylawcc]

ranch 99 thy shall seek.

 

[adelphi]

the lap cheong made from liver is the bomb!

 

[dighn]

red plastic skin right? they are very popular in china, well at least were when i left. it's like spam in a sausage form.

 

[LongCoolMother]

no idea what its called in english. they are awesomely delicious. in mandarin they are called "shion tzong" (very roughly) translating directly (in sound) to "good smelling long". yummm

 

[ChicagoNick]

i don't think she's talking about lap cheoung nor nam. i'll check and see if there's anything around chicago like that. i didn't remember eating anything like that last time i went to Hong Kong.
