Sorry about that. Got bugs, which is never a good thing in the kitchen. Should be working okay now.

"Bao" is a chinese steamed bun (but can be baked) that is traditionally filled with pork ("Char Siu Bao"). It can also be filled with chicken ("Gai Bao") or with custard for a dessert (don't know the Chinese name for that). When it is steamed, it is white. When it is baked, it is brown. Steamed is definitely the best way to have it. You can get it at any Chinese restaurant that serves Dim Sum (the little plates for breakfast or lunch) or probably at some take-out place. As Haken points out, in Hawaii, they are called "manapua". In that scene, you can see Mal eating a bun-like thing.

If you haven't had Dim Sum, you are totally missing out on one of the best food experiences in the world. Just ask them for one of those types of "bao". Happy eating!

I was introduced to Dim Sum by my chinese co-workers. I can't get enough Bao! Come to think of it, I can't get enough dim sum.

It's awesome

Man, I love Dim Sum, I eat it like every week. There are so many dim sum restaurants here you'd think that I was in Hong Kong.

The only other food things I remember were apples that Jayne bought, mush that Simon made, strawberries that Kaylee loves, fried up tomatoes that Book brought onboard, mudders milk on Canton, hodge berries that River picks, and wife soup that Zoë makes for Wash. Hope those help you think up some related recipes.

Jayne: Hey, I didn't fight in no war. Best of luck, though.

For the mudders milk on Canton, do you think this was alcoholic? I can't remember the scene!!

I'm working on a potato dish for Simon's Mush and I hope to have Badger's Corned Beef posted this weekend.

Thanks for all the help and ideas.....I really miss Dim Sum!

Deliever us unto each other

Mudders milk is supposedly liquid bread like what was feed to the ancient Egyptians, plus 15 percent alcohol.

Hi All,
I've got new recipes posted to the reference section. The first is for a margarita (Tightpants Tequila) and the second is a viewing party dip. Enjoy!

I found this description which sounds about right:
