>>14851952
Its like saying i dont like indian food.

>>14851952
I don't like European food.

>>14852006

you haven't even tried it. typical narrow-minded westerner

>>14851952
I like Chinese food,
and what I really mean by that is, I like European food

>>14851952
isn't western china busy being assimilated? Pretty sure that food won't be around much longer

>>14851952
Better version

>>14852062
exactly my first thought

>>14852062
xD

>>14851952
I don't know their food 2bh, most of it contains shitload of rice which isn't my carb of choice. I've had some chinese or "chinese" food that was tasty, couple of times, tho. So I'll probably try more later.

>>14852006
Actually the traditional am*rican lightbulb steak is derived from chinese roasted lamp brought over by the coolie indentured laborers in the old railroad days

>>14853517
Rice is actually pretty regional. Especially in the north, the base grain was traditionally wheat instead of rice, so you wind up eating a lot of noodles, buns, bao, dumplings, etc as a base.

When my family used to throw dinner parties for family friends (from western and southern China), we'd make an assload of dumplings or baozi, and then they'd ask for rice because it was inconceivable for them that a meal would not have rice. And we were like "wat".

>>14851952
When was this made, 1990? Chongquing is centrally administered now as a municipality
If you accused them of cooking sichuan food they would through things at you

I lived in China, the food is great but the dining culture is awful.
No russe, everything tends to arrive at the same time, people eat very quickly and fucking HATE to loiter.
Han Chinese don't know about half the food in their own country, let along lowai.
It also doesn't help that most Chinese dishes aren't named, or their names lead to confusion because they are called "flower soup" and "flower" is neither and ingredient or a technique- but something like a palate range.
Many dishes are called things like "sour soup" or "hot sour soup" or "hot sour spicy soup"- and thus increasingly complex flavors are just called "flower".

Many interesting ingredients, lots of regional specialties.

sold, I'll talk my old man into going to Chinese restaurant nearby his place, last time it was good enough to return there anyway.

>>14853727
how common is gutter oil and can you taste it

>>14853727
so complimentary question:
what's the weirdest shit that you've tried?

>>14851952
I don't like food

>>14852012

>>14853727
With the names being so generic how do you know what you order vs what will arrive?

Man why can't you have a sensible discussion about Chinese food these days.
Counterfeit products are an issue in rural areas and outside of China, once I found a shipping container filled with nothing but this one type of biscuit in Laos- the stuff wasn't out of date so god knows what was wrong with it.
I assume it was stolen, but that alone wouldn't cover it

What is wierd?
century egg, blue tofu? both are bad but very common. interesting process and I often wondered if you couldn't preserve other things this way.
I've had caterpillar fungus, which sprouts inside dead caterpillars- tasted like any other bug I've eaten.
A rare and particularly good drink I had is from far east India, it is a hard alcohol similar to sake but it is fermented with a rare and poisonous jungle root (Albizzia mycrophylla) as a source of culture I think.

It's hard to know what even qualifies as weird

Oh shit.
I swear to god I once ate part of a snow leopard, not one of those medicine places where it's just a bobcat or something, but I actually found the dead snow leopard and as a request for not turning in the hunter I demanded to eat some. Really I just wanted to flip the dynamic of "better shoot this white guy or I'm fucked",
But yes, I in fact ate part of the leg of a snow leopard

>>14854152
>century egg, blue tofu?
I'd try that, but yup, I'd considere it weird. Sorry for cliche question, I just don't know one shit about Chinese cousine, so that's the best I could ask about.

>>14854117
Ah, well this is more an issue for English translated menus overseas.
In China you get the regional version and everywhere will do it almost the same (or so my lowai taste-buds tell me).
Visual translator apps suck, the only thing they DO work on is restaurant menus.

>>14854158
So the blue tofu isn't that wierd because Asia is full of fermented soya products.
Blue tofu is nothing on Burmese stinky soya bean or Nagamese smoked burnt stinky soyabean.
I make kimchi and I consider that stranger again because you're fermenting something with both vegetable and fish.

century eggs are truly fascinating, you use alkaline salt to preserve the proteins without drying them, so they turn into this jelly and it's fucking pungeant- sometimes I would accidentally order century egg noodle by accident and I would know before it even got to the table.
It is however the best way I know if not the only way to preserve eggs, which can last years.

>>14851952
Food from the northeast is absolutely based.

> Southern minority food

you mean soul food?

>>14851952
Mmmmm bat soup... Uma delica!!!

>>14851952
You know what people mean when they say chinese "food", bucko.

>>14851952
I thought wuhan was more well known for their bat recipes

Saying I don't like Chinese food means that I don't like eating the literal animal trash they regularly consume. Sorry I wasn't born in a country that endured near millennia of constantly fighting and food insecurity that my ancestors resorted to tendon, feet, and other vomit-inducing animal parts in order to survive.

>>14851952

>>14854366

>>14853727
You're sharing your knowledge in good faith with a bunch of losers who think making the same bat soup joke or ignorant remark makes them look funny. Don't bother.

>>14854489
Sure I don't, chen. Go back to eating boiled CCP boot and uyghur offal you fucking niggerfaggot insectoid. Too bad you weren't born back in 1970 so they could run you over during tianenman

Saying you don't like Chinese food is saying you don't like food. The incel retards on this board are not to be trusted or believed. They haven't been out of mammy's basement and the only Chink food they've had is Panda Express. The food in China is amazing.

just stick to the /ck/, we are mostly gentlemen and sholars here

"Sichuan" food is by far the most common "authentic" restaurant you'll find both in and out of China.
Of course it's not authentic or Sichuan at all. Just literally millions of chinks from all over jumping on a bandwagon and doing a shit job.

kek, these threads always make me feel bad. i fucking love chinese food and half the people claim i'm eating literal western pigdog trash compared to true authentic chinese food (tm) but god damn it i still fucking love it. i don't really like the sweet and sour shit but my go to order is
>some kind of a stir fry with meat, peppers, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, possibly bamboo and black mushrooms, all in some kind of savory sauce whose contents i can't even begin to guess at
>spring rolls
>dumplings
i just love this shit so much. maybe it's not authentic but it's all i can get. i doubt i'll ever go to china or to an upscale chinese restaurant.

>>14854923

>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.

Chinese is ok but to me Thai and Indian is way better and japanese teriyaki and sushi.

Thai soy is like wow with 4 exclamation marks !!!! right (between japanese sweet and chinese bitter).

Chinese soy is really good in sauces though.

I wouldn't say I like Chinese food more like Asian foods in general. What's worst is I feel there is something wrong with American food.

>>14855600
IDK but everyone is fucking fat in this country.

>>14855600
Not OP but true. I didn't realize how good I had it in my last city. Apparently it must have been pretty authentic Thai.

I moved to Chicago, which is pretty well known for food, and the thai here is dog shit. Most of it is sickeningly sweet, or weird takes on traditional thai dishes. Extremely disappointed and my overall biggest complaint is the crazy amount of sugar, and the spring rolls. They don't know how to make a fuckin spring roll here.

>>14855703
Thai here, LA has the best Thai food.

what's the best thing you've eaten what's the worst thing you've eaten and what's the most interesting far out there thing you have eaten.

I went to a Chinese restaurant that's Hong Kong style And everyone in there was Chinese I was the only white person
The dim sum was great The worst thing was the raw jellyfish The most interesting was the sauteed chicken feet

>>14857643
That's typical of Cantonese food, lots of seafood, some dumplings, lighter flavors.
But as OP made this thread to point out it really is diverse, Western Chinese food is a blend of Chinese, Islamic renaissance and Central Asian- you get dishes like hand cut cold jelly noodles with black vinegar (like Liangfen), some really interesting spice blends with grilled meats, central Asian style glazed flatbreads,

Sichuan dishes tend to have many ingredients, many exotic spices including Sichuan numbing peppercorn, hot pot, river fish and noodle dishes.
Best dish is wok fried potatoes with sour pickles, Indian spices and about a hundred other ingredients, second goes to deep fried yardlong beans which I make at home all the time

Beijing food tends to be stocky, sweeter, I didn't spend much time here because it's an awful place.
Yellow noodles are good but I prefer the dandan noodles in Sichuan

My favourite is probably Yunnan, where someone is always grilling things with yellow mustard seeds, red pepper and spice.
Lots of soups with mushrooms and vegetables, neat kind of rice cakes

I hate to say it but the worst thing I ate was actually an honour dish from the uighur, who gave me goats head soup with the eyeballs of the goat- I'm squeamish.
also up the list was fertilized duck egg, I had that before in Vietnam and I was dared to eat one by some filthy workers I was drinking bijou with.

Also, literally all of "western China" should be independent as a couple of separate states, as should the "southern minority food" region. All the rest of it- what's actually china- should either be nuked or returned to the rightful government of China, the Republic of China in Taiwan.
