Food full circle

Baotza with a sweet sesame filling. Basically a steamed Chinese bread that is usually filled with sweet red bean or even sesame I guess.
My lovely Taiwanese neighbours had made this and when I went over to their house with a dish of chocolate chip cookie gratin they informed me that they'd just finished with making steamed buns which in fact they were about to bring over to my house in the evening.
How lovely..
This tastes like something I'd devour for breakfast. It's that delicious.

And in fact I'm invited to go over tomorrow again to help them make a curry which they want to serve to their guests.
I'd once offered them some chholey without the extreme spicage and so much did they love it that it's a dinner party fare tomorrow.
Hah, food I tell you. It does wonders; bringing people together from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds.

This ancient ritual of exchanging goods as a gesture of goodwill still holds good today, and for that I'm glad.
