Ingredients: Buy Foodstuffs in Cantonese

Today I wanted to write a well-researched rant about Cantonese NOT being a dialect, a kind of sub-division, an inferior sub-division, of Mandarin. But I have to cook for 13 in a couple of hours, so I don’t have time to get into it.

Instead, I’ll give you the Cantonese word for a couple of ingredients:

青瓜 (cheng gua – green melon/cucumber)

花生 (fa saang – peanuts)

辣椒乾 (lat chiu gon – hot pepper dry/dried chillies)
