So, I mentioned I was going to get Chinese food today..the restaurant that is closest to me has pretty good tasting food, but it is soooo Americanized. I ordered Kung Pao chicken which I have probably had 100x over the course of my life..it is hot..hence the pao..this one is not spicy at all..plus they use sauted celery ahd carrots instead of Chinese vegetables..I mean would it kill them to put in some water chestnuts? sigh..I can't wait until I can get more authentic Chinese.

Well, actually it is run by Chinese people by I guess they are taking lots of short cuts and money savers.

@JudyEv Your comment makes me laugh about an incident that happened one time to my sister and I. When she lived briefly in Chicage, she was dating an Indian guy. He and his roommate another Indian fellow invited us to spend the weekend with them once. They made us dinner one night..the food was so spicy we could barely eat it..they said oh we went light on the spices for you...

@snowy22315 I think sometimes they 'dumb down' their recipes to make the food more acceptable to Western tastes. I think our Indian restaurant does that.

Yeah, I would tend to agree with you. French food seems pretty good everywhere though. There is a restaurant in a trendy little town not too far from here called La Pomme which is excellent.

@snowy22315 I have never tried French food in the United States, I have tried "croissants", but those sold in France are a lot better.

I like chinese food. But, it should be vegetarian only.

I guess every Chinese restaurants I've been to are Americanized. I hope you find your restaurant one day in the future.

They are, but some are more authentic then others..Some of the ones in the city seem pretty authentic, there is a Chinatown in DC that has some pretty authentic food I think.

I would have enjoyed a bit more spice..with some of the Chinese peppers in it.
