culinary calling, part II: dumplings

Has anyone tried these?:

The most decadent dumplings come, unsurprisingly, from Hong Kong. Recently, I sampled the "yellow-river crab supreme dumpling," the equivalent of Manhattan's $32 hamburger. Available only in May and June, the dumpling is made in front of you from female crabs whose eggs have been mixed with meat. When consumed, they create a flavor explosion comparable to good foie gras.

And remember, screw politics and focus on what really matters: food. We need to be aggressive in our demands. That's what Wu says:

The lessons learned from food battles previously fought is that great food only comes to a demanding audience—a public educated in the scams that sometimes pass for "ethnic food."

We're not f$cking around, and we're not developing an "Exit Strategy." We've got the will and army to do this right, to have and make and eat good food in America.

As I said before, and as two responded, either you're with me, or against me.

You want to eat knocked-up crabs or knock up someone with the crabs?
