Most Americans would not eat the food they actually serve in China. My in-laws took a long tour of rural China about 10 years ago -- they learned the hard way to stash granola bars and biscuits from the hotel in their pockets. They said the food was unrecognizable (and inedible).
Unrecognizable, perhaps to those not conversant in actual Chinese food.
Inedible, not hardly. They must have hit some bad cooks.
