[edit] Sources

Somebody (Bwithh?) requested sources for the origin of the name. I certainly remember various history textbooks have that reference, but unfortunately I am not, and won't be in the forseeable future, in front of my chinese history books, which are over 10,000 miles away. I found certain references on the web, but I am not very comfortable with quoting either non-published work (from Yahoo! knowledge and various blogs), or pieces originating from the notoriously unreliable Xinhua. Does anyone have a good reference suggestion? Kommodorekerz 22:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Wikipedian policy of requesting sources for everything, I have to ask the policymakers a question: How are people supposed to cite sources for things that are common sense? Sorry, instead of keeping knowledge, this policy seems to have the goal of suppressing knowledge, even to the point of trying to eradicate common sense from people's minds (especially non–English-speakers's minds) by labelling them as "uncited", and misleading other people into believing that such "uncited" ("uncitable" may be a more accurate word) knowledge as somehow being inferior. Or maybe this is truly what the editors want. some sort of social engineering or cultural imperialism experiment.—Gniw (Wing) 04:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

D.S

I would like to add a recipe from my great grand-mother on YOUTIAO Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups self-rising flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/3 cup lukewarm water peanut oil Instructions: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in water. Lightly knead dough. Loosely cover for about 20 minutes, or enough time for the dough to rise. On floured surface, roll the dough into 2 inch wide and 14 inch long strips. Twist together in pairs, pinching the ends. Holding each end of twists, pull until 9 inches long. Deep fry each twist in peanut oil until golden brown (about 25 seconds) Let cool and eat.

YOUTIAO in my house is usually severed with Chicken or Pork.
