It's a pandemic care package! If that doesn't convince the doubters that AP cares about the AP Family (as the card says), I don't know what will. Kidding aside, this seems like a quintessentially Taiwanese thing to do and comes as a highly appreciated gesture in challenging times. Now, what to cook today?

PS: There was some booze in there as well...

Hmm, really would have thought there would be tins of Foie Gras and Beluga in there too, I got a Tag care veggie package like that.

Can you ask them for. RG ROC to help time the cooking too?

But seriously, hope you are safe and all family is settled in comfortably as the Covid chapter goes Taiwan/SE Asia edition.

To each their own. I much preferred the thought that went into this and the nice dinner I had with my family.

Much less surprising when one considers the Taiwanese obsession with food, and in particular its role as social glue.
