Chinese Food: A Brief history

[heideggerm2]

I wonder why you never see stray cats around Chinese restaurants.

@heideggerm2 Meow.

[heideggerm2]

I have a friend from Taiwan who came to the US and was taken to a Chinese restaurant. She asked the waiter, "Who is General Chow?" after seeing "General Chow's Chinese Chicken" on the menu.

Chinese food is the BEST!

[tomlovegod]

@cgiwattgrrl99 Century Egg is OK.  It will be very good if you make a soup with it though it looks ugly.

[BrooklynBaller101]

Sadly i cant eat that cus of my allergies to peanut oil and other things but somone tell me how good it is

[caocaothedeciever]

Others hate on this, but I like it. It's proof that you don't have to be white to be part of America's rich heritage. :)

USA USA.

I found that there is no Chinese food in America and there is no fortune cookines in China. I am married to a Chinese girl and I do all the cooking. Chinese too!

@zwog1 Too bad they don't have 'em. They're still nice little treats!

[madcaps89]

these videos are ridiculous... what isn't american according to them?

[199291931]

@madcaps89 I agree these video's piss me off because of that.

[Guderian41]

I wish the rest of American Eats was on youtube. The Hamburger, Hotdog, BBQ sections are not around.

[najeenixonnixon]

Dont forget the Fried Chicken segment. Thats my favorite.

[RetroToledo]

@Guderian41 I like the one about Pizza.

[whatewer23]

"as american as a hot dog"... yeah considering that hot dog has its roots in germany.

[lifes40123]

@whatewer23 llol it has roots in germany but wasnt made in germany

[Lucidmike78]

Good food is dependent on the quality of the ingredients, the recipe, and the skill of the chef, not where its made or the nationality of the chef.

[TheMagicalNobody]

@Lucidmike78 Very true, however I think that the variety of cultures makes cuisine so much more fun to explore.

[859jack]

my friends parents are from china, they made homemade chinese food, it was the best i have ever had, not like that crap in restaurants. all the chinese food in restuarants don't have that authentic taste, all their food comes in bolk and they don't have that touch.

[Dmasterman]

sweet and sour pork!

[zwog1]

I like Chinese too........I marrieda girl from Hangzhou....we speak each others language and will retire there in 4 more years...........ai ni zhonguo

[RetroToledo]

@zwog1 Hope your retirement there will have happy years!

[almondtealeaf2]

I love history. I also enjoy Chinese cuisine. I know the food we eat here isn't authentic but it tastes pretty good and that is all that matters!

[Penelopeb155]

I love this style of cuisine. The food is very savory and delicious.

[cpringuer]

haha poor moggy gna get eaten

[BUBBASIMS]

good english, NOT!

[peachblush8199]

I love chinese food too. It's good when I'm not in the mood for pizza or fried chicken. It's a good use for cabbage since I don't like cabbage that much. Sometimes I eat cabbage and corned beef.

[OllieRamone]

Love this!!!
