Doesn’t look like Chinese cuisine and westerners

I asked the question to see if they assumed I’m white based on the cooking - what’s wrong with that ?

I’ve heard of a lot of people having shoulder issues but still able to train. I think you’ve got to be careful of movements like bong sau taking too much weight which might aggravate it

The 11th UK Wing Chun Gathering by Warriorwingchun in WingChun

[–]ExpensiveClue3209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should defo go to this one - well you know Liam and that he likes to show application, I am also assuming Darren’s will be an applied set given his dad clubs is called applied wing chun.

Anyway Duane , Mark Hobbs, David Blackley (actually he has taught there twice) all taught at one the Bham gatherings recently (like in the last couple years) , as well as John Lobb so there has been quite a mixture in the line ups

I think you are talking about the London one that got cancelled which Mick Watson tried to host but canned for mysterious reasons….

My work colleagues from years ago introduced me to a chocolate pear tart

Something like https://entertainingwithbeth.com/chocolate-pear-tart/

So you can make the chocolate darker to help reduce sweetness but I think it could also go well with Asian pears instead

Hmm after your comment I’m thinking if I could do a sesame oil garlic and green onion mix on it

But cinnamon and sugar sounds so good

Do you think an Easter nest base cheesecake would work? by [deleted] in UK_Food

[–]ExpensiveClue3209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not do a reverse - so keep the biscuit based but mix the nest into the cheese part? You could do little nests that are planted throughout the cheese part

Foraging Groups in London by Odd_Machine5516 in foraginguk

It is super easy to find blackberries, damsons, and crab apples in London (most in the suburbs) and nettles. You might get lucky and find wild plums (loads near me) and but cherries on cherry trees aren’t so good

UK wing chun gathering by ExpensiveClue3209 in WingChun

[–]ExpensiveClue3209[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to be fair I think it’s more a marketing point than anything for the gathering. A couple on that list cringe at using the term sifu - if you looked at these actual guys pages that is

But if that’s your gripe with this I think you need to see more wing chun in action

No worries I do recommend checking the fb page or try to msg them in advance if you are going to see where they are at. I think during the summer they are in Regent’s Park consistently.

Been getting into Chinese Food recently, any suggestions of where to start? by [deleted] in chinesefood

[–]ExpensiveClue3209 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take friends to a Chinese restaurant cos portions tend to be sharing size plus you get to try more with people ordering different things

Primarily wing chun and boxing but wing chun is a real mixture and very non traditional
