Amish Heart
A True Doomsday Prepper
Making pizzas tonight
Peking is Cantonese, Beijing is Mandarin. Guangdong Province is called Canton in Cantonese.My idiot daughter in law says you must not say Peking, You must say "Bay Jing."
i am happy you can be with someone. No one should be alone at this time of year.My family tradition is pizza for Christmas, but currently I don't have any family close by. So I'm going to a coworker's for the holiday and we're having a "traditional" Christmas dinner with ham, etc. I'll be seeing family next week at new year's.
We used to have a Peking restaurant not too far from here. Unfortunately they went out of business a couple years ago. I still miss them since it was the only descent Chinese food we could get around here.Peking is Cantonese, Beijing is Mandarin. Guangdong Province is called Canton in Cantonese.
We had a lot of Cantonese in this country at one time that came over to work on the railroads, and the Chinatowns were mostly Cantonese, so a lot of Cantonese words were familiar to Americans before Mandarin words were.
The discouragement to use Cantonese words is all the CCP's doing. Hong Kong speaks Cantonese. Google Translate does not even list Cantonese as an option now. (CCP's doing)
So your daughter in law is obeying the CCP.
Well good for you but I would have preferred a picture of the Beef Wellington.Beef wellingtons and a cab side by side taste test!View attachment 14572
