I'm in the beginning stages of Spring Festival. I've had three feasts in five days, plus the immediate family feast (which we could better control the contents of).
I think I've gained about 15kg. But in the good way!
What is this delicious-sounding festival of which you speak?
You'd call it Chinese New Year.
There's a whole lot of food involved. SO MUCH FOOD! 😱
Oh yeah, I would. There's a big Chinese population in my area, so it's kind of a big deal. Last year, I made the mistake of trying to buy a lobster when it was coincidentally Chinese New Year. I had the option of these little bitty things or monsters six plus pounds.
I had not known that their red color after being cooked makes them popular during the new year.
Oh wow. The sheer amount of tradition surrounding this, with a myriad of local variation, is impossible to keep up with. Then they make up "traditions" on the fly as well. It's so much fun!
