Ants on a Tree
Today's NY Times has an article about the renaming of Chinese dishes so as not to frighten the Olympic visitors. "Ants Climbing up a Tree" should now be called "Sauteed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork". But, um, isn't vermicelli literally "little worms" in Italian? Is that less scary?
We had this very dish last evening at Sichuan Village. Very tasty, whatever they call it, but the rendition we were served last night had too much sauce if you ask me. It was more like "Ants Swimming in Chili Sauce".
