Mongolian hushuur and bansh dumplings

Ack!! we go from something as delicious as dumplings to something as disgusting as "bulletproof executive coffee"? Though that coffee just goes to show that there really isn't anything new. It is all just recycled from someone's history then sometimes "improved", though I use that word very loosely. Almost any "new age" food fad really just tries to adapt a concept from when food was simple and met a nutritional need of a particular population to meet a "new" nutritional need of a new population. Never re-invent the wheel, just design a shinier set of hubcaps seems to be a relatively intelligent approach.
 
We need to figure out low fat if we have a dumpling party.

I think with Shavru's health issues fat is a big big no no. I know my wife don't touch butter or most any other stuff with fat after her very minimal bout with similar but obviously much less serious bout of the same only different stuff.
Did a single word of that sentence make sense to anybody, didn't to me.

But I'm all for a party and for once I'm semi close.

Research is suggesting more and more that animal fat is not bad for you.
 
Well I never cared much for research, I'm a meat eater and animal fat is high on my diet plan. If they said it would kill me I'd still eat it. Same with bacon, give me bacon or give me death, maybe both.

Only Shavru will know for sure and with her condition she just may not handle it like folks without the condition, course she could be a meat eater too (actually I'm sure she is) and says to heck with it anyway.

My kids used to always cut off the fat and I'd tell em they was throwing away the best part.

Funny we could afford meat with fat on it in them days, now it's pretty much a hamburger helper life for me.

Wonder if I could make a hamburger helper mo mo? Hmmmm......
 
I just don't know if this kind of dumpling would work without copious amounts of fat. The dumplings are steamed from the outside but the grease on the inside sort of fries the meat. Without the grease it'd just be steamed meat. But for Shavru I'd jump on that grenade.

In Mongolia they usually use lamb rather than beef for these things. I keep asking the wife to try it with lamb one of these days but she says it's too greasy even for her.
 
If you don't eat the fat you can rub it on your body for slippery fun. Guaranteed to be a big hit with the dogs and the cats.
 
Darned if I dont feel so bad now. My first thought at the mention of fat is a bathtub.

I get the same thought whenever I see one of them cans that sprays whip cream.

I should probably be on some sicko list I'm sure. Pure good clean fun, involves a bathtub right? Am I right?
 
In areas of Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and other parts where Scandinavians have settled, you might find a bowl of lard at your Cafe table. It's for spreading on bread like you would butter or peanut butter. Takes Requires an acquired taste to properly enjoy.
 
I went to a Baptist boarding school. We all lived in dorms with these very long hallways. One day, I was sitting in class before the period began and the teaching came over and chatted with me and my friends. He was a really old guy, stern as hell and about as Baptist as they get. He never joked about anything. Apropos of nothing, he said "You know, one day I'd like to cover the hallway in the dorms with whipped cream, strip naked, and slide from one end to the other."
 
I bet that brought on a bout of chuckling. Stuff like that is best when it comes from a stern person that usually exhibits no sense of fun or humor, catches you off guard as it no doubt did you and your friends.
 
hahahahah! Blue, I gotta say that struck me as hilarious for exactly the reason Bawanna pointed out. Fat, yeah, I have to be slightly less enthusiastic about eating it now. Same thing with Alcohol and sugar and heck anything with flavor in it. If it tastes good, I can sniff deeply then go eat my gruel and watch Hubby enjoy. Though he really is eating exactly the same things as he doesn't enjoy eating the good stuff in front of me. most of the time I feel sorry for the poor guy. He coul be enjoying all his favorites watching the football games and the World Series but he just won't do it in front of me. No greater love hath a man that to give up hotwings during this sports time of the year.
 
As I recall we just laughed nervously. That old feller retired after that semester so maybe he felt he could relax a bit. At the time we took it as evidence he had gone senile!

That's a top shelf hubby if he's willing to forgo the good stuff during the game.
 
Yeah, He is a far better person than I. I have to be honest. I wouldn't be that good if it was me... Heck I probably won't be able to be that good and I am the one that is supposed to be ;)
 
Just barging in to say I ate some of my Father's Wife's hushuur last night and it was delicious.
 
I've seen them dip 'em in mayo, I think they use it as a substitute for Russian style sour cream.
