How do you win this fight/what on earth is a meat bun?

I think the idea is that the one who gives up fastest and possibly gets in the first apology is the winner, but that's not even the point - the point is that afterwards there's steamed buns. :3

*Polite smile* No, it's mine. Laufey gave me because I wasn't intending to use the trebuchet with cheeses. Isn't it, Laufey ?

Oh, okay, I guess ...... Wait, how would I not consistently lose at this?

the point is that afterwards there's steamed buns. :3

Oh, gyoza. I've always wanted to try those. The problem being that nobody here makes them, and I'm too lazy/mediocre at cooking to figure out how. It's on the "try before I die" list though, along with sushi, ramen, hakarl and char siu.

I can confirm that this is in fact another trebuchet and definitely not used for cheese!

Losing, winning, it's ok. The point is that afterwards there'll be steamed buns (= baozi/nikuman, although I make really good gyoza too if I say it myself).

Okay, local not Japanese or Chinese Asian, here, but aren't gyoza these things?

Okay, Asian out. *walks out backwards, tripping over table*

Peace.

PS Also try balut. It might not be as revolting as rotten shark, but apparently eating dead unborn baby chickens isn't a commonplace practice, I gather (I actually haven't tried it yet (bad Dane!) but I do love me some of these bad boys.).

Also try truffles because rich people food.

For me gyozas are like that, and the others have an other name :) And nothing could make me eat balut *Grimace*

*shrug* You tell me. To me they're both dumplings, which in itself is an alien concept in Scandinavia (with the exception of potato balls). The nuances are lost on me.

The meat buns are nikuman. :)
