Description

The number on the casserole dish reminded me of what it was like when people first began to get their heads around ordering a Chinese take-away !!! Everything by numbers.
The question today is - if you ordered Number 19, what would you get? There are some clues in the picture

Camera:	Fujifilm FinePix S9600 Zoom
Recording media:	JPEG (digital)

It's obviously hot, judging by the condensation, so it isn't some form of salad, which it looks like! It's so long since I went to a Chinese take-away, the menu has probably completely changed. Carol

Haven't got a clue what it is but the condensation bubbles make an interesting pattern.

I love Chinese food, sesame chicken and General Tsao's chicken being my favorites.
This looks like it might be a stir fry dish using red peppers and celery.

Like it Dave - and it IS veggie - sweet and sour condensation is probably quite a cheap option !!!
Thanks Barbara and Dave for looking and leaving a comment

My first thought was--bell jar-- not so as the large image opened...

We have Chinese Take Outs-- They just fill a styrafoam box-- no pretty glass--

I'd guess at vegetables, looks like green beans and carrots to me. Makes a great pattern pic, Helen.

I expect carrots are in there somewhere. There are always carrots.

I remember my very first takeaway. It was in fact a chinese meal and my then new boyfriend said he'd order for me. We had something called "C". For years and years I thought C was a strange oriental dish!! I was a rather naive teenager.

Sorry Chris - NO carrots. Not really sure of the merits of my picture but has certainly evoked some interesting memories
