Chinese food

[Nymzee]

I've not been to the cast country of china but I have a feeling 90% of UK takeaways don't really sell the food they actually eat in china

Bats?

 

[IrishBlue2022]

Beef and black bean sauce
Char sui pork
Chicken balls with bbq sauce
Chicken curry with a side of sweet and sour sauce
Salted chilli chicken/beef/prawns
Honey chilli crispy chicken

Can't go wrong

Do you reckon Chinese families sit at home on a Saturday evening and order an Indian takeaway or a kfc .. a kebab or a burger even ?

Yes

I have observed, on any subject, that there is a 40 mile exclusion zone around Swindon where absolutely nothing good exists.

I'm not in Swindon, but close enough to feel it's effects.

I'd put chow mein and chop suey into the watery gravy profile every time. Maybe it's just the way it's done in North Wiltshire. Agree, Satay stands alone- could be a third profile.

This is your problem, mate - I found that chippies down south are dreadful in comparison to anything in the north. The gravy thing is baffling down there, when I first moved to Hampshire in 2002, the chippy there didn't even do it! Then when they did it was like piss, you should be able to put wallpaper up with it its that thick.

In Japan, it's tradition to eat KFC on Christmas day. It's massive for some reason

Japan doesn't have a traditional Christmas dinner so to speak so the good people at KFC saw it as a marketing opportunity and it snowballed from there basically.

I’d imagine they would order fish n chips, mushy peas and a large bottle of Iron Brew. Apple pie for the kids. Mushy peas eaten with chop sticks ?

Beef in Szechuan sauce can be good but depends on where you go.

I have a workmate from Szechuan. He claims there are no local desserts in the province which I find strange. No banana fritters? Well I never...

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Beef Szechuan. Ask for extra chilli and garlic. Half rice, half chips. Plenty of vinegar.

Cheers for this.

Also of note, if you get a lamb dish from the curry house, never reheat it in the microwave, lamb reacts badly to that thing. Put a little oil and then a small knob of butter in a pan and rewarm your dish through on the hob. You don't have to bring it to the boil, just heat it through.

Hmmmm I think you're exaggerating there.

40 miles? 20 maybe.

As a teacher he ought to have known that a radius was required to isolate a town or place by exclusion zone.
