Yes I put the ingredients on a plate at home Kaylz (it’s so simple I can’t claim to have made it! :D). The bread (which not surprisingly has spiked me) but was delicious, is just from a Morrison’s uncut wholemeal, grain loaf from their bakery. Unfortunately, my son loves it or I wouldn’t dare being it into the house. Far too high in carbs I expect but not a particularly carby meal otherwise.

Factory Lunch
Well lunch was definitely a mystery, I basically have little or no idea what was presented to me today ‘
The large dumplings are special. Friday is Lantern Festival, the official end of the Spring Festival Celebration and those dumplings are only eaten at this time.
One was peanuts with I have no idea and a third was fried pigskin which was, well, unusual to say the very least.
This link gives some idea of what will happen in Shanghai tomorrow.
I will as usual avoid the crowds and stay home, once bitten, twice shy lol.
