Oh the Flavors you'll travel!

When I was growing up, when ever my parents ordered Chinese food, it would ALWAYS be shrimp chow mien. So, all my life, I thought that Chinese food was ONLY shrimp chow mein. I remember when I took my first g/f out to eat (somewhere that had to be cheap, obviously haha) We went to a Chinese resturant by her house. Now, this was the first time I had ever been in a Chinese resturant. Usually, my mom or dad would pick it up on the way home from work. I remember my g/f coming back with General Tso's chicken.

"What is this?" I asked.

"Chinese food," she sadi.

"No, it is not," I replied "Chinese food is shrimp chow mein"

But I tasted it and it was great! I never had anything even remotely spicy before that day. I still order General Tso's everytime I have Chinese....although I DO switch it up on occasion...

I don't want my son to think that Chinese food is ONLY General Tso's chicken.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have a friend who is Chinese and he brings me to an authentic chinese resturant for dim sum on the weekends. The food there is nothing like the food served in Chinese-American resturants. You are right, Unagi. Real Chinese food is so awesome.

My rule of thumb is, if you go into a Chinese resturant and see all American people eating there, and the waiters/waitresses are speaking English, you are going to get the American-Chinese food; if you go into a Chinese resturant and it is full of Chinese people, SPEAKING Chinese, chances are you are in for a treat

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've eaten sushi, just the rolls, though, not the real raw fish. My wife is Japanese, so I guess I will eventually work up to it, haha.

I enjoy all Asian foods. Korean food is awesome if you like spicy foods. The problem is trying to figure out what to order.

Indian food is good, too. Although, after eating Indian food I blow my nose for the rest of the night...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
