[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to come to your house!

I would suggest a sorbet dish...maybe of tart fruits like lemon and raspberry.

I know that's both Westernized and not the right course, etc...

If you want to get clever you could make inspired fusion flavors like lychee, ginger, etc.

Speaking of ginger, Trader Joe's had a lemon ginger cheesecake that would complement this meal...[/quote]

Chinese invented ice cream and sorbet's from Persia. Lemons are asian too[/quote]

My point was more related to modern cuisines.  If I go to a Chinese restaurant I might not find lemon sorbet or raspberry sorbet or dairy desserts.  Just google "most popular Chinese desserts".  Sorbets and ice creams are not there.  This is menu planning, not a cultural borrowing confession session.

I looked up lemon sorbet....says it's from Arabs in Sicily in the 9th century.  So maybe we both get partial credit if that matters so much.  I associate it with French restaurants, actually.

KFC in Singapore serves red bean ice cream.  Sometimes you'll see green tea or matcha Japanese ice cream in grocery stores.  I do not like any of those, so I wouldn't personally recommend "Asian-cuisine-inspired" dairy ice cream for a US Christmas dinner.  However home-made ice cream can be any flavor that suits the chef.[/quote]
