Baby Bok Choy

It truly does go well in soups and stir frys, or just treat it like any
other cabbage. It is great steamed with sausages. I often steam them
whole and serve them as a side dish with lemon butter and dill weed.

There are various sized bok choy but the word "baby" is a marketing
term, botanically they are dwarf hybrids... "dwarf/midget" doesn't go
over too well in marketing, not P/C. Baby carrots are not a botanical
carrot varietal, they are simply larger carrots cut into sections and
pared by abrasion... began with failed crops, was a way to salvage the
unaffected part. Carrots plucked while immature is a whole nother
thing but rarely marketed at the retail level. Fancy restaurants
serve immature veggies of all types (expensive), some even grow their
own.

Bok choy can be harvested while immature but there are several hybrids
that are small when fully grown... often the reason for hyrbidizing
for smaller size is to facilitate handling, storage, shipping, and of
course marketing... lots of folks like cutesy so are willing to pay
premium prices. I happen to like bok choy a lot but I don't notice
any differnce in taste and texture regardless the size. I buy the
full size, I consider it two different vegetables, the leafy part and
the stems. Bok choy is pricy because it isn't easy to grow, I've
tried... it needs a very specific environment, a little too warm for
one day and it bolts.

Grown right down the street from me. Hows that for eating local?
Sure beats getting it imported from China! :-)

No I'm talking about *all* varieties of Bok Choy. Please try and
follow the conversation if you plan on beating your head against the
wall again.

It's not sick, they are just really confused. I've seen a number of
these from Foodbanter.

More frustrating, they don't understand that they can reuse an id once
they've created it, so they create a new id for every worthless post!
Doesn't do any good to killfile the whole id, since they don't reuse it.

I think it's a bug in Foodbanter's interface when using certain
browsers. The solution is killfile the whole foodbanter domain.

Foodbanter are the one who have been illegally harvesting baby whales
in the Pacific to feed the Japanese, so it's best not to patronize
their site anyway. The guy that runs foodbanter is already being
investigated for violating numerous Federal and International laws.

It is also called Shanghai Cabbage around here. I use it as a stir fry in a
sesame oil, in soups I substitute it for spinach, braised with garlic,
grated ginger, onion.
It is cheap around here, around 69cents per pound.
