A to Z Food Challenge – X
Today the A to Z Food Challenge almost got my stumped! It after doing some research I found a few “X” foods and the first one sounds delicious.
Xi gua lao is a dish from Beijing and also knows as watermelon jelly. The ingredients used are watermelon, cherries, agar, sugar and vanilla powder. Water is mixed with agar, vanilla powder and sugar and boiled into syrup. The cherries are cut into small slices and the watermelon is crushed to get watermelon juice, and mixed with the syrup and then cooled. I’ve never heard of this or tried it but it sounds interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_gua_lao
Do you know what Xigua is? It’s a melon found in Africa which is also known as watermelon! http://thehungrykitchen.blogspot.com/2011/05/xigua-better-known-as-watermelon.html
Okay for the A to Z Food Challenge – X, I was stumped! Many of the foods that start with “X” are Asian but some sound very interesting. I may have to give them a try. Do you know of a delicious food that starts with “X”? I’m willing to give it a try!
Wow! I didn’t know all of that. I would love to try that because I love Watermelon! (or Xigua)
This letter was quite a challenge Wendy! I want to try the first one I posted.
I am not a fan of watermelon. I prefer Xacuti!
You don’t like watermelon??!! It’s so refreshing and hydrates you Roy. Once again you have a new food I’ve not heard of!
When I saw this post, I couldn’t wait to come over to see what you came up with, LOL. But you did it! I thought there wouldn’t be any.
This letter was the biggest challenge in the food challenge Jeanine. But I wasn’t about to give up on any challenge!
That is cool!!! and i do love watermelon so will take it no matter what name it has
Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits Vidya. It is so refreshing on a hot day.
I had never heard of that fruit before. You learn something new everyday. 🙂
This is one that was a challenge for sure Amanda.
