Sorry to hear about your brother's illness.

As for this item, i can't recall the name (not much help, am i), but 
i used to eat them in LA. I *think* they're Cantonese... Wrapped in a 
bamboo leaf, IIRC... They had other tidbits in them besides meat - 
chopped water chestnuts, some other stuff, even maybe some "tree" 
chestnuts.

Gee, i haven't thought about these in years! It was the mid-1970s 
when i was dating a young Chinese-American in Los Angeles... Another 
tasty thing he introduced me to was a giant dinner plate sized thin 
ground pork patty with plenty of garlic... I never found a recipe for 
this...

So, Frater Adamantius, anyone else... can you help?
