Subject: hakka: Hakka mention on TV Food Network


> Food Network is a cable television channel in the U.S. that focuses on
> cuisine and cooking. I was watching a program called "Taste", which spends
a
> half hour each day focusing on the qualities of a single ingredient, and
> what dishes can be made with it.  I was suprised by this mention by David
> Rosengarten, who is a food and wine critic and the author of the "Dean &
> DeLuca Cookbook", when he was reviewing salt:

> "Something else that salt is good for, is making a crust. This is an
> interesting kind of thing.
> There are a number of cuisines around the world that create salt crusts as
a

> around the food and it keeps the food inside
> incredibly juicy, and moist, and absolutely delicious. And the salt does
not
> add its own character to the food inside --
> in other words, the food does not get salty."
