BOSC PEARS ARE IN SEASON. SO IS BITTER MELON.

Lunch was bitter melon and porky bits fried noodles with a touch of stinky fish byproduct, a restrained amount of hot sauce, and extra ginger. This blogger, being a child of his times, likes hot sauce and ginger.
The bitter melon is, of course, timeless.
Generation after generation.
Wholesome, crisp.

You can add hot sauce, fish byproduct, and ginger to everything.
Trust me, absolutely everything.
It's better than sex.
That too.


If I had been this age sixty years ago, it probably would have been a little different. As the picture below suggests.

Now personally, I think that that is totally wrong. And possibly even something that Chipotle or Olive Garden would do. Criminal.
Surely everybody knows that the best dressing for pear halves is plenty of crumbled crispy bacon with some of the grease?

Lettuce should be cooked.
Add oyster sauce.



Hell may freeze over ere I combine bitter melon and Miracle Whip.
Life is too short for irresponsible dining.
