Chinese Food

We've talked about Pizza and Hot Dogs. Chinese food is popular. We have two buffet places not far from here. Occasionally I like to go and make a pig of myself. I'm not sure about the proper Chinese names. Chicken *****. Various veggies. Noodles. Ribs. All good.
Moo Goo Gay Pan. Chop Suey. Chow Mein. Kun Pao. Lo Mein. etc. Of course I'm not sure exactly what is what.

One thing I hate are fortune cookies. And, I never eat with chop sticks. I'm a fork user all the way.

Anyone else like Chinese or Cantonese food?

I can tolerate szechuan once every six months or so...but that's about it. Same with Thai- and that's pretty much my Asian food short list. I should have been born Italian.

You guys ever eat Hunan Chicken at the chinese joints? That's is by far my favorite dish. There's nothing terribly exotic or crazy, but it's still very much chinese. Mmmm... Get it in the spicy version if available.

I love chinese food!

I've had various chicken dishes. One was so hot I almost called 911. Fogot the proper name.

Szechuan and sesame chicken, and Peking scallops are my favorites. I eat at a local Chinese restaurant often.

I like good Chinese occasionally, especially egg rolls. Back when I was young(er) and foolish, I ate 30 at one sitting.

I do like Chinese, but not too often. Once every few months is plenty. Now Mongolian BBQ...I can eat that all the time! -TD

Won ton soup, beef and broccoli chow mein, shrimp fried rice, sweet and sour pork, iced tea, and fortune cookies. With chop sticks.

I usually eat Chinese once a month. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes not for months. But I do like it.

My dad was a minister in a vietnamese church from my pre-school through elementary years, and continues to work with them, so I've grown up eating asian foods. The vietnamese have a soup called Pho that is awesome. We have a high population of vietnamese around here o theres Pho joints everywhere, not to mention its the staple food of their diet other than rice. here wedding receptions are 8 course meals easy and often consist of cheese lobster (sooo good) flounder (the whole thing, head and all) duck, and many other things. I love to eat duck and we often go to a chinese barbecue restaurant and i always get duck. among some of the strange things Ive eaten is "golden fried pigeon." Much like quail, but better. They had it listed on the menu at a wedding and we all thought it sounded strange. They brought out a tray of whole pigeons (head and all) in a circle. Those things were good! I had at least three pigeons myself. My family sat with a vietnamese family we tag along with, but like most of these weddings, all the white people (few) congregate. Needless to say, they didnt touch their pigeon.
