xshub was supposed to travel to china for business, he flat out refused to go. i was sure i would have to pack his suitcase full of peanut butter crackers bc he could eat NOTHING there and i wouldn’t blame him in the slightest. i wouldn’t touch chinese food in china with a 10 foot pole, i don’t care how AUTHENTIC it is.
I agree with you, I wouldn’t eat food in China either right now.
There was a thread the other day (when I was still have puter problems, which I still am) from someone looking for a source of garlic powder not from China. I found the thread interesting. I so rarely use garlic powder that I never even thought about it, so I looked at the jar of it that I do have in the pantry. Not only is it a product of USA, it is specifically from California. The quart jar of shopped garlic I have in the fridge is also from CA, but that is something I always do pay attention to.
