One of my must-have traditional Taiwanese snack is vermicelli with large intestine.
It's a fairly common noodle soup that can be found across the country in night markets
or simply any food shop. It comes with misua( Taiwanese vermicelli) and oyster/ large intestine( or both).
I'd like to add some coriander, chopped garlic and chili pepper to improve the flavor.
First off, the new word I learned to day is " jeune".
According to Collins Cobuild dictionary,
1. If you describe something or someone as jejune, you are criticizing them for being very simple and unsophisticated. (FORMAL)
2. If you describe something or someone as jejune, you mean they are dull and boring. (OLD-
FASHIONED)
The origin of the word comes from Latin, jejunus, which also gave off the word that's used medically, jejunum.
Jejunum is the middle section of small intestine. The section is frequently found to be void of food following death, due to its intensive peristaltic activity relative to the duodenum and ileum.
And for paucity. It reminds me of the pauci-immune vasculitis....
