and claim that North American restaurants use much better meat than those at home.

10. I've eaten Chinese food from North and South China

Most of it is very bland. In the South they tend to use more curry and other spices so it's a bit stronger tasting. The meat is generally very poor quality and meat portions are smaller if you get any at all. Fish heads cost more than the rest of the fish. Naturally steamed white rice is a staple. They tend to eat lots of soup, which is often bland.

I've eaten Peking Duck at the Quanjude and it blows away any Chinese cuisine in the states.

3. The young people are eager to find fault, the older taste testers are more fair in their assessments

of the different dishes.

4. That's how it seemed to me too

The older tasters like many more of the dishes than the young ones who seemed to have the attitude that the food couldn't possibly be good.

Restaurant food in China, (or in Taiwan).

7. Some of all the above?

even within a restaurant chain there can be a bit difference from store to store. Disclaimer-worked too many years as restaurant manager. And when then there's the difference between various regions even within a nation.

Restaurants are like any other business. Any changes or substitutions that they think will make them more money will be embraced.

Personal I find most American versions of Chinese food to be too sugary (if that's a word) and I have to admit that it was interesting that it seemed like it was the older folks who were more willing to give it a chance.


Damn it, a man on a diet shouldn't think about food this much. Now I'm hungry.

11. Chain restaurants are still a thing?

yet another sign of our downfall....
