I love Americanized Chinese food that is served in America.
The Chinese food that is available in China is just awful. Slimy, greasy and not trustworthy. Even breakfast is messed up - noodles and vegetables. They only make eggs one way - over hard.
100% agree. The stuff here is great. I had a very hard time keeping the stuff over there down. Slimy, greasy, gritty, and just plain nasty. It is not anything like the stuff we get here. Even the stuff in expensive places was horrible. Not for an western palate. India was vastly superior IMHO.
I worked in China from October 1976 to April 1977. Worked in three locations from far south in Yunnan Province to far north in Manchuria.
Since then, I’ve always said that if American Chinese restaurants sold food like they sell in China, they’d be out of business by closing time tonight. Poor ingredients (understandable in the then-poor country), poor preparation (think of chopping up a chicken with a cleaver, bones and all), butter that wouldn’t melt in Hades, gamey male meat (probably uncastrated, I’m guessing). If it wasn’t for the construction company (Kellogg Continental) sending in food care packages, we would have all lost 50 pounds. As it was, it was non-stop runs for seven months.
