[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9371405, member: 6796661"] For a while I was dividing time between Taiwan and India. THAT was my foodie heaven. Yeah, I really like Taiwanese shaved ice. I like the fruit toppings, but I my go to toppings were usually condensed milk and mung beans and or boiled peanuts. May sound weird to many folks in the US, but its really good. Agree with you about the bread. Even in India, where I love a lot of the traditional flat bread, after a while I really miss a good rye or sourdough. And, for that matter, good deli sandwiches in general. Never had a good sandwich in Taiwan, well, except for the break fast sandwiches that all those breakfast shops sell. Still, I prefer the more traditional Taiwanese fast-food breakfasts: baozi (steamed buns filled with, well, all kinds of things), mantou (unfilled steamed buns, youtiao with savory soy-milk soup to dip it in, etc.). Being back in the midwest, USA, I really miss street-food culture. [/QUOTE]
