Food & Stories From Taiwanese Military Villages
Historically, the people of Taiwan had always revered oxen and treasured the role they played in agriculture. The act of consuming beef had long been taboo. So how did beef noodle soup become the national dish of Taiwan?
For centuries, Taiwanese farmers produced predominantly sugar and rice crops. Thus when did wheat noodles and dumplings enter into Taiwanese culture and become a staple of their cuisine?
Good To Eat Dumplings, in collaboration with Henry Hsu, the owner of Oramasama Dumplings, invite you to an authentic experience of visiting a traditional beef noodle soup house in Taiwan.
At the event, you will learn about how these iconic Taiwanese dishes came to be. You will hear culinary insights and personal experiences about this tumultuous yet transformative period of Taiwan's history from our special guests.
Most importantly, regardless of your ethnicity and family history, we hope the shared human experience of holding onto one's heritage through food - can bring us all closer in today's social climate.
