What is this fascination with Chinese Food? There seems to be one on every corner. I don't want my meat sweet, I hate the soup and what is it with those ugly fried fish? I guess I must be among the minority since there's one on every corner.

LOL..
I alkways thought chinese was just sweet, sugary sauces (or MSG), until a head office colleague took me to one of MY local restaurants, spent 5 minutes remeniscing about the home country with the chef in some dialect or another...the difference was astonishing.
I'll bet Pablo, who's seen more genuine than most BITOGers would have a thought or two about it.

I like some of it ... although the MSG (I think) used to give me headaches as a young chap.
I had to sneak up on it years ago, now I love it.
It's not all sweet, or all sour.
I can take green beans or leave them, but the Chinese buffet I occasionally visit does them GOOD. secret sauce, I wager.
Try a buffet; most things are labeled if they are spicy.
Taste a little of this, and a little of that; you may change your mind.

I'm with Javaman on this. Stuff is nasty!
I'd have to agree.. back in college I had a cantonese roomate. he always went on about "fake american chinese food" and the #@$%! he ate was nothing like you'd get in any restaurant.
The Chinese seem to thrive on it.
"And I think they just call it 'Food'... "
OR, HOME COOKING!

The "Chinese" food you eat in the USA is not what the chinese eat. I have had the real stuff and its really decent and mostly pretty healthy. I don't like American chinese either.
Same is true of "Italian" food in the US or Pizza.....

There is a reason why the real Chinese food aren't economical here in the USA. You have a so call team of chefs or the 'chop chop' who prepare just one part of the recipe. You may have 10 ingredients in one small recipe and the time 'labor cost' being paid in US dollars in American Made Chinese Food just don't cut it. So they skip corners and make due.
If you live west of the Mississippi, you don't really know what BBQ is.
