Help my son with his Home Ec homework! Need a food beginning with the letter "X" TIA.

XLB aka xiao long bao, a favorite topic on the LA, SF and New York boards.

[J.L.]

XLB comes to mind first, followed by XO sauce for Asian cooking.

Xni-pec = wetness on dog's nose = habanero salsa

Both Mayan, I think, and pronounced with a zh sound.

I was just going to chime in on the xuxu...this month's Gourmet magazine has an "A to Z" portion, and a dish is included with xuxu / chayote.

Have him go to this site, then on the left side of the screen go to "find in library" to see if a library near you has it.

Sounds like the Home Ec teacher didn't do his/her homework in coming up with a meaningful lesson plan and sent everyone off on a snipe hunt. Of what use is this?

Researching the difference between baking soda and baking powder, understanding why yeast needs certain temperatures and a gazillion other things would be time better spent.

I also agree with Lizard.

He's probably supposed to learn how to use an internet search function or flip through the X book in an encyclopedia. But I wouldn't send kids onto the internet to look for things starting with X, if you know what I mean.
