<\/a>A
\n disturbing item came across the news desk this morning, from the quasi-communist
\n government of Hong Kong, via the New
\n York Times<\/a>, claiming
\n that
\n"eating many kinds of dim sum regularly may be bad for your health".<\/em><\/p>\n
\n the city, and now, thanks to the Times<\/a>, all around the world. Turns out it
\n is not
\n Dim Sum <\/em>per se that is harmful, but rather certain <\/em>kinds of
\n dim sum, eaten in excess.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n breakfast or lunch and includes steamed or fried pastry dumplings stuffed with
\n anything from pork and beef to shrimp and egg custard. Many other savories,
\n like mango pudding and egg tarts, are also dim sum. <\/p>\n
\n and Environmental Hygiene Department found high fat and salt and low calcium
\n and
\n fiber in everything from fried dumplings to marinated jellyfish. The report
\n suggested that local residents eat these kinds of dim sum in moderation,
\n and choose more
\n dim sum like steamed buns and steamed rice rolls.<\/p>\n
\n their meals, the report said, and should beware of some steamed dim sum for
\n which the
\n ingredients are fried, like bean curd sheets.<\/p>\n
\n for the free come on in spread! Seeing as Sunday Dim Sum has become something
\n of
\n a tradition for the Berkman
\n Blogger’s Group<\/a>, should this report hold up we
\n may have to consider alternatives.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Peruvian tradition which involves wrapping goat, sheep and guinea pig meat
\n in banana leaves
\n and burying them 3 or 4 feet underground, together with potatoes, yucca, camote
\n and red hot rocks. After three days you dig it all up, wash off the dirt,
\n and chow down. Delicious!<\/em><\/p>\n
\n the Berkman Center<\/a>. We would have to do the prep work, heat the rocks, wrap
\n the
\n meat, and bury the booty after our regular Thursday
\n night meetings<\/a>, in order
\n to have it be ready for Sunday. But it would be worth it. Especially delicious
\n with abundant<\/em> Chicha, Andean corn mash beer…<\/em>.<\/p>\n
