Longest Day Ever Pole

Oh i forgot about won ton soup.  God I Love that stuff.  Dammit alix, now I want to order chinese food.  But, we have tonnes of fresh food at home.

Wonton soup is not my thing at all... though I'm really really craving a nice spicy Thai mango ahd chili salad today.

Mr. Arb hates Chinese food, and I have no one else to order it with me at home, so I haven't had any in the longest time.  This thread has made me very hungry.

Hand That Rocks the Cradle was the first R-rated movie I ever saw. My friend had HBO and they used to tape movies off of it all the time, which is how I watched it. I guess I was about 10. It freaked me out then.

I recorded it a month or two ago when I saw it on Showtime or TMC or something, for old time's sake. It wasn't that bad. Still messed up, but some parts were unintentionally funny, which took the edge off.

Alix, you're a Greek who doesn't like feta?!?!?  Oh my stars.

They're these deep fried wonton-wrapped bundles of crab, onion and... erm... cream cheese maybe? Smothered in spicy sauce. ZOMG.

I read this, and my jaw dropped.

I've never seen crab rangoon in sauce, but alix is correct about the rest of that deliciousness.

Moneypenny424

The cream cheese in the rangoon is repulsive to me.  It is the only combination with crab and fried food I can imagine disliking...though to be fair, I hate most white sauces.  They remind me of mayo, which I hate with the heat of 1000 suns.

Where we get chinese it comes with a spicy sauce on the side; similar to black bean but not as strong in taste. I smother it :)

So so so good.

georgia_bride09

Even the Chinese food is fancier in Canadaland. ::incredulous look::

I generally dislike cream cheese in anything but cheesecake but I make an exception for this. And mayonnaise disgusts me on so very many levels. I used to eat it... until one of our chefs first week of school showed us how to make it. Then I was all nuh-uh, nofreakingway.

vallyhoo

our crab rangoons here in floreeeda come with sweet and sour sauce on the side

mandysmear

Well no wonder people love it.  It sounds heavenly. 

Emily Rose was scary!  So was the good son.  Holy crap.

Eating crab with no hint of Old Bay is a foreign concept to me.

I hate mayo, too, but love cream cheese in crab rangoon.  The place we go just serves it with sweet and sour sauce and spicy mustard.

I think in a lot of places they just call them crab cheese wontons- same thing.

Seriously?! Okay, I usually see crab rangoon at buffets, so that could account for lack of sauce, but next time I order takeout, I'm getting some darn crab rangoon to see if I get sauce. Sauce would make them so much better. Or I could just dip them in the S&S sauce I would have already ordered to go with the chicken...

shellydiane820

If anyone has a Flat Top Grill in their area, they serve their Crab Rangoon with a Rasberry Jalepeno sauce, so tasty!

[QUOTE]I'm intrigued by this crab rangoon everyone keeps mentioning. Never heard of it before, what is it? Posted by waltzingmatilda13[/QUOTE]


Crab Rangoon = fried wonton around crab and cream cheese....absolutely delicious when drizzled w/ sweet and sour sauce.


Crab Rangoons are not actually Chinese, though - they are American...we just serve them as chinese (just like General Tso's chicken, and fortune cookies - not to bust your bubbles)  ::runs and hides::
