Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Andrex® has conducted some research into how people demonstrate an uncompromised level of care during the Christmas period and discovered that almost half of us (46%) choose to upgrade products in our bathrooms in an attempt to help the festive season feel more special. What’s more, a third of us (32%) also say that showing this level of care ensures that our family and friends feel at home when visiting.
The first time I came across 9bar was when I visited their stall at the Good Food show and I instantly fell in love with their Original and Peanut bars. They are packed full of delicious seeds, nuts and a thin layer of chocolate! They are flavoursome and so easy to eat. They are not too hard nor are they too dry.
Early April, they have launched the deliciously moist & chewy wholefood 9bar Breakfast, available in four mouth-watering flavours. 9bar Breakfast is a convenient, nutritious breakfast alternative with the right mix of carbs and protein to provide the slow release energy you need to get through the morning rush hour. They are gluten and wheat free.
As many of you will know, I’ve been writing a series of Chinese New Year posts from crafts to foods. Check out my Chinese New Year’s Pinterest board for ideas!
Many Chinese will cook a fish dish on Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner as it represents 年年有余 (Nian Nian You Yu) meaning abundance through the year. It is a great auspicious dish for all to eat. It is also traditional to serve fish with its head and tail intact to symbolise a positive beginning and end to the New Year.
