I haven’t eaten Chinese food in years. Why would I when their southern neighbor Thailand has food that is far tastier and is much less likely to leave me feeling as if I drank a quart of motor oil? I know that what we get here in the US is not REAL Chinese food but American Chinese food. Even so, I have a sneaking suspicion that real Chinese food is infinitely worse than any day after General Tzo’s bathroom grumblings I’ve faced thus far in my life. Maybe it is the plum soda I tried from an Asian market down the street, or the chicken feet and chunks of bone I’ve encountered at apparently authentic Dim Sum in San Francisco. Somebody tell me I’m wrong! Tell me that I will find great food. I swear I’m not picky.

I have heard great things about Chinese food in China, adam. That it's NOTHING like our version, not greasy at all, very healthful, etc. And I am sure the nasty bits a la chicken feet are just as plentiful as other non-offal stuff. Cool blog!
Thanks Terry :-) Come visit with Chris and we can sample both the good and the bad.
