Hmm... I've been wanting to ask you recently, but this reminds me. Do you have any postnatal customs where you come from? I mean mostly in food, but I'm interested in general.

Among us cantons we have the new mother dine on a Pig Trotter dish. Found a handy article and recipe-- http://food.asia1.com.sg/recipes/mea_20050313_001.shtml
And some other links if you like to check vaious sources.

Though, at home we often use more lean meat, and we try to leave the eggs in for hours, and hours, even a couple days. Usually feeds us for that long too, this dish.

It's really excellent stuff; at least, everyone in my family loves it. I personally can't wait--we'll be making some when my sister-in-law gives birth. I don't know if it's an acquired taste, but I think you might like it.
