What’s the yellow one next to the sausages?
No sausages. Eggplants, tofu (yellow ), bellpeper meat…

Looks like it’s added butter, which is one of the variants for making Tibetan tea, but they can be made into regular tea as well without the butter.
And I believe it’s quite expensive as well for the old tea bricks.

I’m invited for a family breakfast. Besides it’s usually not that expensive but this could be because i live very near tibetan area.
In my area they always put butter (coming from Tibet made from maonyu, a kind of yack). The old tea bricks are produced here. I guess that historically it was convenient to transport them to Tibet. First the tea leaves are warmed directly, then water is added and then butter. The result is in the first picture. The next powder added was chestnut (may vary) and salt and then all mixed in the woodtube.
At the side are corn sticks

This reminded me about 麵茶, and despite its name doesn’t have any tea at all. But with flour and sesame seeds, sometimes peanuts and other almonds, fried with oils (even lards) to make it into powders. And afterward it can be cooked or added hot water to make it into some kind of porridge (depends on how much water is added).

I had Xinjiang noodles for dinner tonight, Xinjiang is a province in China if you don’t know by the way 
Do you know the difference between Xinjiang noodle and Chongqing noodle?
I don’t
chongqing noodle is spicier than xinjiang noodle
Really? I can barely make a difference between a Urumqi, Baoji, Chengdu, Lanzhu, Chongqing noodles. All same taste and spicy to me (and all famous)
More south (yunnan, guanxi…) wheat change into rice. I was thinking that yangru (lamb) or nyuru (beef) was a bit more common in Xinjiang as porc maybe?

Did any of you celebrate Shrove Tuesday with pancakes today?
(Or were they really to mark the start of the WSC?)
What did you have in them?
I had:
- ham, cheese, hot sauce (sadly no olives were to be found)
- beef, cheese, dijon mustard
- apple, cinnamon, semi-set honey
All good.
And were the pancakes French, English or American style?
