>> No.10290329

>>10290209
In short , yes.
In this way we signal that we are not squeamish or picky which is considered a big negative trait in some subcultures here.
Secondly , by just eating the candy without reading the label , we are signaling that we have full trust in the person who gave us the morsel. This helps to create strong bonds and aids in cooperation . This makes us a bit more efficient and is one small factor in wealth generation of certain subcultures.

I can't find where I wrote down the recipe, but you just put a raw pork mixture and green onions inside a dough ball and bake it. From memory, the raw pork mixture contained:
raw ground pork
white pepper
black pepper

soy sauce
rice wine
sesame oil
sugar
