That almost sounds like something from Harry Potter. Seriously, never heard of either but am always willing to try new foods and flavors.

Pumpkin rice, you just cook rice with ground pork, sliced black mushrooms, and cubed pumpkins. Add cubed onion, sliced scallions, minced garlic, etc. as desired, but not too much. You can make it in a rice cooker like you would plain white rice. Strictly home cooking - I've never seen it in a restaurant. It is not seasoned when cooked, so you will need to season it after cooking with soy sauce, etc. I always top it off with Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Daikon is in the radish family and looks like a white carrot. For daikon cake you first steam chunks of daikon mixed with rice flour and small bits of meat until gelatinous, then make patties of it and pan fry them until the outside browns a little. Eat with some sort of sauce on top like thick soy sauce or peanut sauce. I think oyster sauce would work too. Our homemade sauce is made from balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and hot sauce with finely minced garlic and a dash of sesame oil. If you have ever eaten at a Dim Sum restaurant, you've probably seen it but didn't know what it was. Some Chinese buffets in Atlanta have it too.

Here is a lovely stock photo of daikon cake that has bits of ham, showing it before (bottom) and after (top) pan frying.

Both sound really good. The pumpkin rice is a little exotic due to the pumpkin to me, although the pork, mushroom and garlic are things I add to rice normally anyways. That fried daikon cake looks really good! Must be interesting having an Asian wife with both of your cultures coming together at the dinner table.
 
You would be surprised how much overlap there is between traditional Southern cuisine and Chinese home cooking!
I buy a lot of LED lighting directly from a family owned company in China. I’ve gotten to know them fairly well now and they visit yearly. One of the girls once told me if it swims, walks or flies, the Chinese will eat it! I guess it’s not much different from a southerner after all.
 
My wife told me "Chinese eat everything that flies except an airplane, and everything with four legs except a chair."

No telling what all I ate in Taiwan. Every time I asked what it was something was, she said "JUST EAT IT."

They just like us cajuns, damn cher!
 
Spending a few days in the hospital right now. I won’t even try to describe what they are passing off as food in this place.... unfortunately all the years of eating a little too well are what got me in here to begin with. Kind of ironic... well, it’s one way to loose weight, passing off cardboard as food.
 
8oz. Filet, house salad, sweet potato at Texas Roadhouse. Best part it was mostly free. I did a mystery shop.

Every time I eat at some steakhouse other than Texas Roadhouse I come away saying "should have eaten at Texas Roadhouse."

I get the filet every time. Maybe not the best filet anywhere but pretty consistently good and reasonably priced.
