So we had a Chinese takeaway for tea tonight. It was enjoyed all the more as we hadn’t had Chinese for a couple of months…..
This is what we had ….
Egg fried rice
Sweet and sour chicken balls
Mini spring rolls
Chicken with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts
Chips
Chicken chow mien
Prawn crackers
Do you eat Chinese ?
What do you like ?

@traceyjayne Not so fussed on Chinese but I do like Japanese. Was at a Japanese restaurant on Sunday - becoming quite adept at chopsticks - had Chicken kimchi ramen.

Do you eat Chinese?
Not so much these days
It's not what it used to be sadly.
And like everything else it's over priced.
What do I like?
There wasn't much on the menus I wouldn't eat except the European crap.
Chicken Curry , Chicken and Pineapple, Char Sui, Foo Yung, Kung Po, Schezaun anything,
And cat , and seagull
I sh1t you not, I have had both from a Chinese

I think that my experiences in recent years with Chinese food had been better in England than up here sadly.
There's one really old school " Chinese" in Newcastle, wow, like a step back in time.
Excellent
Up here I don't think anything is cooked in house anymore
It's not great

I know some do eat cats. But not too sure about seagull. Yes pigeon definitely.
In some part of Canton, not sure if now you can still get it, there is a dish that they called the heaven dish, made up of cat, dog and snake meat.
Nobody I know eat this before as the chinese are now more protective of the cats and dogs even through some still eat dog.

I eat chinese almost everyday. It is a part of our staple diet as I am an oversea Chinese. But we do eat other stuff besides the chinese too.

We just got cashew chicken yesterday... I don't use chopsticks unless I want to throw all the food in the floor. I saved one chopstick to use to clean the drain in the kitchen sink.

Chinese is my absolute #1 favorite ethnic cuisine, with Mexican being a close second. I get fried rice, beef broccoli or pepper steak, we usually get orange chicken or General Tso's. We get egg rolls. We get mei fun. We get lo mein. We get crab Rangoon.
Let me just say, that's good eats!
