LOL. I can understand that.

The Chinese have a wide variety of Bar-B-Q type dishes. They vary by region and tribal sources.

Sometimes a good Chinese buffet has a wide variety of dishes offering a reasonable way to gently try out stuff in small portions.

It was funny when Qx lived in China. He wanted brown rice with the nutritious outer layer still on. He had run into a rice milling shop on his usual outings around town.

So, he took his translator with him and they agreed to sell him some with just the chaff milled off, leaving the whole brown rice grains. But they thought he was crazy--that it was a real low class kind of rice etc. They understood Qx's commentary that it was MORE nutritious but tradition, at that point, reigned supreme.

Being half Portuguese and half German my tastes aren’t real adventurous although I did really enjoy Italian food when we were stationed in Europe.
