* Username: True Manticore
* Favorite type of tempura dish: Green Bean Tempura. This treat is especially near to my heart since the tempura was introduced in Japan in this form by the first Europeans to arrive there, the Portuguese. The original dish that was taken there and created the famous Japanese tempura is still very popular here in Portugal. It is also my favourite kind of tempura and it consists of Green Bean pods lightly fried in delicious batter. The Portuguese name of this treat is "Peixinhos da Horta" which literally means "Garden Fishies".
* Brief description of why you love it! I love it because it is delicious, tasty, and generally healthy. You take a bite and it's crunchy and squishy. And I love veggies
