At the beginning of this month,
I announced that I would be hosting
Food 'n Flix with my chosen feature
Kung Fu Panda (1 and/or 2). If you haven't seen either Kung Fu Panda, you may not realize how much of a foodie's delight they are. As the result of growing up watching
Kung Fu and so many great old Kung Fu movies, it's a double bonus - Food + Kung Fu! I could go on...it's great for the whole family, it's pretty darn funny, and it has a positive message or two to share underneath it all. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's a favorite of mine, and that I've seen it countless times since it's also a favorite of my youngest son.
But, on to the food. At the heart of the movies lie noodles. Po's father, and his father before him, run a noodle shop. His father expects him to follow in his footsteps, but Po has a bigger dream and it concerns kung fu.
But Po loves to eat, so he can be witnessed stuffing his mouth with bean buns, flying through the air to grab dumplings, climbing counters and cabinets to reach the cookies, and even enjoying radishes.
