("The homeland meat cake, though, is the most splendid of all. The size of a
cookie sheet, the cake is cut into 4-by-5-inch pieces that are stacked on a
platter. Its thin dough layers alternate with spice-suffused minced meat.")


My comment:
(a) There is nothing like this in Taiwan, despite influx of Beijingers
around 1949 to Taiwan. The content of the meat cake looks like
lasagna

I do not know whether the meat cake is Americanized, or authentic Beijing
dish.
