What dried foods or canned foods do you think might be good to send over in my balikbayan box? It seems to me that there isn't much protein in their diet so I'm wondering what I could provide....also rice is quite expensive there too isn't it of late so I think I'll send some rice. I know it's a staple but it will save some money if I do won't it...do you think dried potato would be appreciated as a change from rice? I'll get some tinned corned beef, and maybe the chicken roll and stuff like that? Sorry i know I've done nothing but ask questions but I am so shocked and I so want to help with useful things as well as nice gifts. What about baked beans? They're full of protein....hahahaha! Listen to me! I haven't even sorted out a box yet...giggle.
But really, what goodness is there in chickens FEET for goodness sakes?

Right, I'll shut up now and put my thinking cap on....tinned steak...hmmm...now there's a plan....lol OK I'm gone xxxx
That's very nice and thoughtful of you suze And i commend you for wanting to help a friend out
Anyway, i think those tinned cans, baked beans, etc, will do,
i guess it would be good to send some authentic uk food for a change, they might come to appreciate the uk taste
As for chicken feet along with chicken intestine, balut, etc. - never tasted it, never tried it and never plan to, lol
