Beef and Broccoli, lol. That was never a chinese food dish until they made it up here in America. Now its sold in chinese food huts like egg roll express everywhere.
then for dinner i went to a chinese restuarant and had sweet and sour pork…..
:love:
wow, you must love your chinese food.. I do too…it is soo yummy.. I could eat it all the time
When I lived in California there was this place called Ho-Toys and they had the best teryaki chicken in the world! no place I have ever been to can compare. I love my chinese food!
we were worried when we saw that first sign go up for the place….Ho-Toys…..hmmmm. We were kinda scared, but intrigued at the same time.
[quote author=“EricGearLive”]I got chinese food today for lunch! I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with the steamed rice. My fortune cookie sucked, though.
Does anybody else read their fortunes and add the words “in bed” to the end of the fortunes?
i always add “in bed” to the end of the fortune, lol. some results fare better than others….
did ya know fortune cookies were actually invented here in America? Not even by a Chinese person, or even an Asian.
Thought I might share that egg rolls are not part of (true) Chinese culture, nor have ever been. They were developed in California probably by an asian family just trying to make a living much like the story of “Fortune Cookies”. Im not Chinese, but I am Vietnamese (Which is completely different I might add :wink: unlike some people think :x grr…) so I thought I might share this with you. :D Spring rolls, however, are part of alot of the asian cultures, usually with soft outside, filled with various vegetables.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. I love the food at some of these “Chinese” restaraunts, but over half of the dishes they serve are not of Chinese history or asain history for that matter.
This has been your history of food lesson for today. You may now get back to your “normal” lives. :D Thanks for listening (or reading)
If I ever eat Chinese food, my Vietnamese best friend will scold me saying, “YOU WANT TO EAT THE FOOD OF THE PEOPLE THAT RAPED AND PILLAGED MY PEOPLE!!”
:| So I don’t get much Chinese food here.
Get lots of Vietnamese food though, including spring rolls and PHO and such.
