What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

Go to a 99 Ranch and shop around. Take in the smell. Then buy some stuff from the hot food section. It's basically the same stuff as American Chinese buffets, except made by and for Chinese people. The flavors and textures are just kind of...different, and you probably wont find them appealing. In general I'd describe it as more "pungent", but that doesn't mean they just add more garlic.

Yeah I'm thinking you have absolutely no idea of what Chinese food is.

Even the Chinese have no idea what Chinese food is.

>>14326947
Invalid argument. Ask a French person what French food is, no one can describe it either. Yet it's one of the best if not the best.

>>14326951
Escargot, Baguettes, and Cigarettes. Next.

>>14326951
french food is way over prepared and processed for my tastes.
I dont like plugging you tube channels but chinese cooking demystified does a pretty good job of describing chinese food from a westerners eyes.
Food and even political borders are far more regional in that part of the world so simply calling it 'chinese food' is a misnomer in my mind.

>>14326973
French food is great but the portions are so small

>inb4 t. American

>>14326965
Haha get my upvote fellow redditor xD

>>14326973
disagreed on French food being over processed (the fuck does it even mean?), but yeah I definitely recommend chinese cooking demystified

>>14326906
China is a big place made up of a couple different regions that have different specialties in cuisine, like America.

I've seen this same exact reply to this same thread posted years ago. What a strange way to copy-pasta

>>14326916
I'd imagine the pungency comes down to Easterners being much more into fermentation than Westerners. You can say that Western palates are dull and childish, or that Eastern palates are aberrant and uncivilized, but in the end the result is the same either way.

Chinese food varies greatly by region, wheat in the north, rice in the south being the typical difference
Imagine some chink thinking McDonald's is America food without ever hearing of briskets, BBQ, Italian beef, clam chowder, etc.

>the fuck does it even mean?
basted in butter
boiled, sauteed, or roasted into oblivion
brown
it's like the words "fresh" and "light" have no place in their cuisine
Even their "delicate pastries" are so dense, greasy, and brown they needed east asians to show them how to do it right

>>14329071
>basted in butter

How does that make it over processed? Name me another cuisine that isn't over processed?

and also;

> Niçoise salad, bouillabaisse, pot au fue, ratatoulie, Piperade, Mesclun.

Something about this makes me think that this wasn’t written by someone from Hong Kong, but I can’t put my finger on what..

Who cares? American version of food is always an improvement over the original

IMAGINE

>>14326906
went to a chinese wedding once, my girlfriends white uncle was marrying some chinese woman

There were about 10 courses of food, each more disgusting than the last. The chinese people were staring and pissed the white people weren't eating it. lol

>>14326906
gristly meat on the bone

I like East Turkestan food

>>14330412
To be fair, did they at least give it a chance?
Food always looks disgusting if you don't know what it is, doesnt make it bad. And I'm assuming for a wedding they splurged in the good stuff.

Sure?

See sushi response

>Burgers
The only truth

>Mexican
Never actually have been to Mexico nor have eaten a variety of Mexican food this one is tricky but I think you're full of shit.

>>14331226
>Roman pizza
Non american pizza is just flatbread with barely any sauce and toppings.
Might as well just a slice of toast with tomato and cheese

>>14326930
Haha newfag

>>14326936
This is some of the best unintentional comedy I have ever seen. Young, obviously Americanized people trying desperately to seem authentic to their original culture vs. old people who know what they are and don't give a fuck about how other people perceive them and enjoy life's bounty much more as a result.

are you british?

>>14326909
White Anglo who was born and lived in Hong Kong for a ten or so years growing up (1993-2004). Idk about mainland China but the food in Hong Kong was always rad.

>>14329551
Mostly correct. Obviously it will vary between cooks, restaurants, recipes, etc. but American versions of foreign recipes are mostly quite tasty and improved over the original. Only people with a weird hate-boner for America/Americans will disagree overall.

I only learned what real chinese food was last year after going to a mom and pop owned sichuan restaurant and now its my favorite food. It is so much better than the Americanized stuff (which I do still enjoy). Generally you want to seek out restaurants that are named after the regional cuisine that they specialize in (hunan, Cantonese, sichuan etc..) for a more authentic experience. Learn how to say thank you and stuff as well. They appreciate that.

>>14326909
lmao this isn't what food is like in Hong Kong.

And the rest of China is extremely diverse in food preparation and what not. To be honest I saw worse food handling in most of Mexico, sweating hairy men man handling everything, like four people crammed into a tiny stall or kitchen all grabbing stuff over each other.

>>14331226
>Mexican
legit mexican food is complete garbage.

>>14332768
>go to china
>they're literally serving boiled sewage to people
why do people defend this?

>>14331815
Its just hipsters, they just pulled asians to do it because its funnier that way, but you see white people do this shit all the time too.

It is hilarious, but they're still not wrong. The old people there said it was delicious, but they said multiple times that its not like what they have in China. So even if its "good" its still not authentic Chinese food, so the point kind of stands. And the old ladies regularly said they hated it too. The only one who seemed consistently happy was the old dude, and he's probably just used to eating whatever garbage he gets.

>>14326906
Biggest difference is the communal/family-style dinning. Many dishes are designed for it. Rice is often served plain because it's meant to be the "neutral filler" everyone at the table can consume. Dishes are strongly flavored to make up for the rice. Vegetables and Protein is cut into teeny weeny bits so they can be easily split. Same reason why meat is stewed until all their flavor is in the liquid.

Even portioned dishes like Fried Rice and Chow Mien is designed to make quick lunch out of dinner leftovers.

>>14326906
Lots of velveting meat
Wok everything
Extensive use of spices/peppers/veggies
Salted cooking wine + Soy + seasoned oil go in everything
SALT SALT PICKLES PRESERVED SALT
Deep fried bread, chilled veggie salads, and lukewarm soy milk for every breakfast

While this is indeed gross, I used to date a mexican girl. And whenever I went over to her house her grandma would cook authentic mexican food for me.
and holy shit was it disgusting.

tortillas were still good though, one good thing to come from mexico is their tortillas. though i think the especially good ones are still americanized.
