114. Take-Out Skull 2 A.K.A. "Happy Skull Family"

Cut Chinese Food Take-Out Containers. Do Chinese restaurants in other countries have a dish called "Happy Family"? It's pretty common here.

    They do!
    The whole point of the dish is that in contains four different types of meat. Although in a modern chinese setting it should probably only be three types of meat.

    The dish that contains the four different types of meat at the Chinese place near me is called "Triple Crown". Go figure.

    The "Happy Family" has mostly snowpeas and chicken, and those scary looking mushrooms.

    No skull boxes, either!

    Sitting here in Queens eating refried beans....

    1) I love how the rice looks like maggots crawling in the skull.

    2) When you reheat it does it become a happy nuclear family?

    3) If you draw the features on, it would make a great favor box.

    They are so cool! I've never seen a "Happy Family" dish in a Chinese restaurant, but I could just be missing it.

    What are the four types of meat? Chicken, pork, beef, and lamb?

    In Australia we don't even get those awesome containers. You can buy them at craft stores for gifts (the last wedding I went to we received pretty red ones filled with a mix of Australian chocolates and lollies and American "candy" to celebrate an Australian-American union). The take-away containers are just rectangular plastic things, but they are reusable and recyclable. :)

    Never get "Happy Family" meals here (UK) or cute containers like that - just foil trays!!!
