Which local food will be banned next?

[Jlokta]

dwindling fish stock not due to sharks. Its due to human overfishing.

Give chance bro, that's what Kinana was taught in primary school.

They don't talk about human overfishing until the higher primary.

Then the solution will be reducing the human population which will in turn there will be less fishing, we will have less people to feed. That is why the good old "gringoes" are rattling their sabers at North Korea & Iran.

foie gras!! not fois gois!! these are foods for the 'gods', for peopl who can afford to fly a sushi chef from any point of the earth & cook a meal at home, it is not for people like us, who can't savour foie gras or caviar on crackers served will a bottle of Dom P!!

These are 'ambrosias' food of the 'gods'...whities!

When you order char kway teow, tell them don't fry the cockles. After frying the noodle and egg, then toss in the cockles for a warm up and serve. Same for laksa, tell then to boil the laksa first, then toss in the cockles that'll warm up just nice with the curry instead of being overboiled, shrunk and hardened.

Lavender Square has a good BBQ seafood stall that serves warm dipped cockles. Good for snacking cockles with beer, but no smoking. Desker Road backlane linking to Rowell has a stall too. That's alfresco and smoking allowed. As usual, remember to tell them how much you want your cockles cooked when ordering.

Cockles were eaten (as a stand alone dish) by my family quite often when we were kids. We simply poured boiling water over the shell fish and ate them with chilli or dark soy sauce. Until my aunt contracted hepatitis - this was during the eighties. Since then cockles are eaten only as additions to char kwey teow and laksa.

Cheers!

Apparently it was a democratic procedure. Took place last year.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/10/25/shark-fin-ban-vote.html

Toronto city council has voted to ban the sale of shark fin in the city.
The ban, suggested by councillors John Parker, Glenn De Baeremaeker and Kristyn Wong-Tam, will outlaw the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins or their derivative products.
The proposal passed easily - by a vote of 38 to 4.
Shark fins are used in a soup that is often served at traditional Chinese weddings.
Those who support the ban say sharks are killed inhumanely and often thrown into the ocean alive after their fins are sliced off.
Those who opposed the ban say the soup is a traditional dish and insist the sharks are killed humanely.
Before the vote Mayor Rob Ford said he didn't think it was the city's responsibility to ban the sale of shark fins and that he wouldn't support the motion.
"I don't think it's in our purview to do that," he told CBC. "If other councillors want to do it it's an open vote. It's been going on for so long I don't know why it's an issue now."
About 100 protesters showed up outside City Hall, claiming a ban would hurt the restaurant industry.
The proposed bylaw will ban any use of shark fin and will impose fines ranging from $5,000 for a first offence to $100,000 for a third offence.
Some critics have argued that imposing a ban in Toronto will not end the problem since customers who want to eat shark fin soup will just travel to another municipality that doesn't have a ban.
They argue that the federal government needs to impose a national ban on the importation and consumption of shark fin.
Toronto is the fourth city in Ontario to enact a shark fin ban, joining Brantford, Oakville, and Mississauga.

[singveld]

probably in the past yes. Eating sharksfin is machiam like a status show off, and most rich tao keh, or wannabe will do that.

in recent times, every mother son go to a chinese restaurant will order sharksfin, this has cheapen this once treasured commodity.

so in present context, not only chin takes them, every color, language all eat sharkfins.

 

[Alamaking]

Actually come to think of it, shark fins dun have much taste 1, its just the texture that people wanna eat. just like how people like to eat fish man or sea cucumber...
