Hastings Sunrise Meat Crawl

I managed to crash a meat crawl in East Van on Saturday night. I've learned a few things about cooking from having a "vegetarian" boyfriend. But happily I have a lot to learn from his carnivorous friends too. Each household made food from a different regional cuisine.


#1: Homemade sausage rolls: Chicken sausage mixed with apple and nutmeg and whatever else it was that made these incredibly delicious, wrapped in puff pastry.


#2: Southern pulled pork on homemade muffin-buns. A Martha Stewart recipe, in fact.

#3: Lamb with curry sauce, Indian rice and papadums.

#4: Vietnamese meatball subs: so good.


#5: Peking Duck.


Just like I ate in Beijing!

Behold the carving of the duck:
