True, I do enjoy Americanized Chinese food though.

Fun (?) fact: when Yao Ming played his first game in Miami, the Heat promoted the game by passing out 8,000 fortune cookies. Yao wasn't offended because he had never seen a fortune cookie, and assumed it was an American invention. (It was invented in Oakland, CA.)

The young Chinese dude is trying so hard to connect with his heritage, but sounds like a fucking knob while doing so. Also, the idea of an American Chinese food chain is amusingly foreign to me. There are so many Asian influences in the west that you don't need a chain store to experience them. Shit, my relatively robust town has a Japanese, Vietnamese, and 5-6 Chinese restaurants.

My wife is from China and when we're at our Queens place, there's "real" Chinese food all over and most of it is inedible to me. All sorts of parts of animals that I'd never even consider eating. The grocery store around the corner is a total trip. Tote bins full of live frogs, live turtles, the seafood section is like a trip to the aquarium.

If you go to a "real" Chinese restaurant, do not for any reason order any sort of fish. They tend to cook it bone in, and if you're not good at eating fish like that, you could end up choking on a bone.

Tbf, bone-in fish is the best. A nice whole fish is much better than just a fillet

Eating bone-in fish isn't that difficult. Most of the bones are in the middle so you can just slide the flesh on either side off easily.

Trout is usually cooked whole. You can just tug on the spine and the whole bone rack pulls away from the meat.

What I like to take away from videos like the one I posted is:

Not authentic food=/=Not good food

Will there be differences? Yeah. But that doesn't make the food inherently bad.

Actually, they're not. They're Americans with Chinese heritage.

I think the younger generations have a sense of pried and are trying to defend their heritage. They want to preserve their heritage while still bring hip Americans.

The OG's of China already know their s*** and they've been around forever and they're not trying to defend anything. Too old for pride.

I mean I guess its roots are probably loosely tied into African cuisines, but soul food is pretty much entirely American - most soul food dishes were created by slaves, who were
given what were then considered low cuts of meat (i.e. ribs) and cheap, abundant ingredients like cornmeal, which they transformed into amazing, flavorful dishes.

American Chinese food > actual Chinese food.

Been living in China for 15 months. Most of the food is shit. They make really, really good BBQ and these baked potatoes but other than that I haven't found anything I liked. Thai fried rice is far, far better than Chinese fried rice. They like to put the entire bone inside the rice instead of just the meat. Plus the rice they use is terrible. We order Thai rice because it is much better than the rice we find at the grocery store.

Once a month my wife and I buy one of the turtles and release it into the river near our apartment. So much sea food here (I live in a coastal city though). It's extremely cheap but some of what they do sell is weird as fuck though. The frogs are fucking huge. I'll see if I can find the picture on my phone but some of the crabs they sold were absolutely massive as well.

You might end up doing more harm than you think. The turtles might not be native to that area and releasing them there could end up disrupting the ecosystem.

They're Chinese softshell turtles which are local river turtles. They'll do just fine in the river near my apartment.
