cook with tea

cook with tea, therefore = healthy? not necessarily.

its not unhealthy its not toxic its not dangerous

its more healthy than 1 cup of butter, its more healthy than 1 cup of cream its more healthy than 1 cup of sugar

There are plenty of tea based recipes for whatever genre of food. Id say people are using it for flavoring and color. Plus it doesnt have any partially hydrogenated vegetable oil :-). However I dont know what they use in those pan fry skillets when they roast tea.

Who knows?

Nobody really knows what is healthy. All the things I was told were healthy when I was a child turn out to be bad for you, and all the things I was told were bad for you turn out to be good.

Whoever thought that olive oil and wine would be good for you and smoking would be harmful?

But, what I _do_ know is that Burmese tea leaf salad tastes excellent. And the best place to get it in North America is at the Mandalay Cafe in Silver Spring, MD. which has to also be one of my favorite restaurants in the DC area.

I remember when Tobacco was promoted as a healthy habit. Wine was associated with 'winos'. I remember my first and last bottle of MadDog 20/20. All cooking oil was equally bad until the discovery of polly unsaturated fats.

reading this i feel lucky being part of a culture with tradition and popular knowledge, and that doesn't believe anything a business say about their products... :)

Unfortunately Ive never been able to determine what dire medical condition my last cup of tea prevented.

Jim

Tea deficiency.

Just watched the stunning if inscrutable film "The Magus." Quite a contrast to Senor Quinn in Requiem for a Heavyweight, and just as brilliantly acted.

In it, he cites as a T'ang Dynasty poem:

"Here on the frontier, there are falling leaves although my neighbors are all barbarians and you, you are a thousand miles away there are always two cups on my table."

These lines are quoted all over the web, but without more definitive attribution. Does anyone here have more precise information?

Thanks-

I am also confused after reading "cook with Tea ".but you can take tea while cooking at one side you are cooking and other side you have a tea.

Ill see if I can find the Chinese character equivalent of this poem and maybe see who it is attributed too. Ill let you know one way or the other in the next day or so.

Jim

No luck. Sorry.

Jim

This is not much more information but here goes. I received that quotation on a postcard nearly 10 years ago, and it became refrigerator art. Attribution given is: 'Anon. T'ang Dynasty 618-906 A.D.'

The postcard was published by a Susan Branch, possibly from Martha's Vineyard, for what it's worth. jh

I just went through 5 books on Tang poems page by page at a private university library. Its not in there. I also didnt see any other poems on tea, wine yes. From what I understand the poems dont rhyme. They have the same number of characters per line usually five.

Jim

It's definitely healthy. well, take it easy. Tea always be healthy.

well, my answer is in the affirmative. it is not only healthy but also helpful to maintain health.
