*brings supply of genuine Chinese snacks*

Thousand year egg, anyone? Candied winter melon? Candied coconut? Or, most importantly, New Year smiley - cake (this is gungy sweet brown stuff, not cake in the Western sense smiley - winkeye)?

No alcohol for me; like too many Chinese people, I'm allergic... smiley - silly

This year, I am doing my best not to fly off the handle and to think before I speak! Not an easy task and as yet no one seems to have noticed. smiley - sadface

Those little cakes look interesting, are they the same as moon buns?

In ancient China if it moved , or even stayed still and didn't smell too bad they ate it.
