HUNGRY GERALD

The Uyghurs are a Muslim, Turkic speaking ethnic group. Some 11,000,000 live in Xinjiang, China’s most western province. Their culture has been heavily influenced by their proximity to the Middle East. Their cuisine is robust relying on lamb, noodles (hand pulled), yogurt and vegetable stews. There is a Uyghur restaurant in Providence–Jahunger on Wickenden Street. Gifted daughter, Lesley R., and brilliant son-in-law Massimo brought a lavish dinner from there for a feast at HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft. Some of the ingredients: Two types of hand pulled noodles (best ever) with gravy and lamb, peppers, vegetable stew and more, much more. HG/BSK agreed: This was super tasty Asian/Middle Eastern/Chinese food.
