Wow looks great. I used to eat quite often in a Chinese (Cantonese) restaurant in Basildon. I got to be lmoast part of the family and ended up getting this kind of food. I still remember the pickled vegetables.We went to a BBQ yesterday, and I did a big bowl of Pinto beans with sun-dried tomatoes, buckwheat, red pepper, olives and a bit of onion. There was chili/olive oil and lemon juice as a dressing. Should have taken a picture of it!
