Moneybags ("chiefly British"--OED)

Tue Mar 16 00:17:43 UTC 2004

(OED) ("money bag, n."  draft entry Sept. 2002)
3. Cookery (chiefly Brit.). A filled pastry parcel in which the edges of a thin piece of pastry are gathered together around a filling so as to resemble a bag of money.

  1993 Evening Standard (Nexis) 9 Feb. 36 Something not to miss, however, are deep-fried buns with vegetable stuffing, little money-bags of thin pastry with a savoury filling. 1996 Daily Tel. 2 Nov. (Weekend Suppl.) 10/8 Salmon and ginger moneybags. 1999 Scotl. on Sunday (Electronic ed.) 21 Mar., For moneybags, place 2 tablespoons of filling in the centre of the square then simply bring the sides of pastry together, and pinch tight, leaving a top frill.

   Is OED crazy?  Yes, it's a British dictionary, but this is pathetic!
   I was just perusing an Asian menu at a restaurant on First Avenue and East 58th, and thought I'd check the OED's revised "moneybags."
   Most all of the Google hits are Chinese and Thai.  Asian cuisine.
   British cuisine is...oh, forget it.

My appetizer, Thai money bags, were wontons cunningly tied with strings of onion to look like little purses, hence the name ($5.99). Filled with minced shrimp and vegetables and fragrant with ginger and garlic, they were delightful, bite-sized treats. They were served with a dipping sauce of soy and scallions and served with a refreshing marinated cucumber salad.

Baby Elephant Steps: A blithe ignorance of some restaurant-biz basics keeps Galanga from living large

(...) And, clearly, the crowd has been starved for local action -- on a night early in the week, the place had a small wait, and the valet told us it's always packed. Judging strictly by some of the Thai appetizers, I can see why. The "money bags," rice paper dumplings stuffed with a minced combo of chicken, shrimp, corn, and potatoes and deep-fried, were a savory treat. Greaseless and crisp, the little pockets were accompanied by a mild cucumber chutney. You can order the money bags alone, or you can sample them on a variety platter for two that also includes a second highlight of steamed chicken-shrimp dumplings, pleasantly topped with a hit of fried garlic. One caveat, however: Although the platter seems like a great deal for $10.95, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Two spears of chicken satay were tasty but unremarkable, and the two spring rolls were crunchy and delicious. But, truly, they were so Lilliputian we couldn't help comparing them to a baby boy's, ah, thumb.

A touch of Thailand
Clarence Y K Ngui. Malaysian Business. Kuala Lumpur:  Oct 16, 2001.  pg. 78
The Mieng Kam clearly embodies typical Thai attention to detail where food is concerned. This is understandable as to the Thais, food should not only taste good but it has to look good too.  Our second appetiser was Thung Thong (RM11.90). Not unlike a fried wantan (dumpling), it comes wrapped in the shape of a golden moneybag.  Crispy, and not too oily, the `moneybag' is best eaten with a chili sauce dip.

Despite the sauce, the dishes survive on good core ingredients. Deep-fried chicken and water chestnut-filled "wonton pastry" (moneybags) are good without climbing the heights of the rice paper rolls, but the king prawns in a coconut batter excel. Good-quality prawns are complimented by a batter that's studded with shards of coconut without over-working the point, and the batter, which at first seems overly thick, is actually comfortably light work.

e dim sum was originally created for snacking in Chinese tea houses, Liley opens the book with some tea history and brewing suggestions. "Chinese legend has it that, in 2737 B.C., the Emperor Chen-Nung discovered tea by accident one day while sipping boiled water in his garden," she writes. "A few leaves fell from a tea bush into his cup, the emperor tasted it and liked it and the tea drinking custom began." Liley goes on to explain cooking utensils, ingredients and methods before moving on to dim sum classics, dumplings, buns, pancakes, parcels and wraps, and more. Forty recipes in all, each with a full page color photo. Choices include Golden Shrimp Balls, Pearl Balls, Shrimp Toasts, Crisp-Fried Gow Gee, Work-Fried Money Bags, Steamed Chicken Buns, Steamed Pork Ribs and Mini Vegetable Spring Rolls. These are dipping sauces and desserts as well.
