There was a good mantou place near my house in Taiwan, but I always got the "red sugar," gently caress straight-up white bread.

I guess "classic" American means white people who don't like spicy food or something? I'm seriously at a loss here cause I'm not white but my family's been in America for about 400 years someone help me out

P much. Midwestern, deep south food. What people eat completely changes based on region, and lots of folks on the coasts are way more adventurous, but there are tons of people i've known and grown up with who are afraid of trying new things.

EG:

Pizza - oven
Yams - roast them in the oven
Brussel Sprouts - add salt and pepper and roast them in the oven
Chicken - add seasoning and roast it in the oven
Turkey - roast it in the oven
Bread - cooked in the oven
Pie - oven
Pasta - speed things up by putting in the oven
Meatloaf - also oven
Grilled Cheese - oven
Potatoes - I guess we just boil them and add butter, but you can also roast them.

I guess theres the deep fryer too

Okay, but Midwestern food and Southern food are pretty different. The former is inexcusable and the latter is unforgivable.

Like I get that hurting people is hilarious because it's still SA in 2002 but I was really upset by that incident because it was pure nastiness and insanity for no reason I can understand. Can we just stop with the "Fleta hates black people" thing? It is something I am really hurt by and, whether you like my posts or not, I am not known to most of you and have never injured or tried to injure any of you.

But "deep south" food has a lot of flavor...

Anyway, I suppose from a Chinese perspective, "American" food is food white people eat. Makes sense since those are the only Americans they ever seem to interact with. Or the junk food they eat while hiding in their dorm room for 4 to 6 years buying their American diploma and scurry off back to get their daycare job position back home.

I was assuming you were referencing when a bunch of weebs ganged up on me and called me racist because I shared a story about a friend being assaulted in Tokyo. People bring it up occasionally to be jerks. I don't find it funny at all. If that's not what you were talking about, then I genuinely apologize.

Lol I was trollingly calling you a racist for calling southern food unforgivable. Although I got a way better result than I expected unintentionally.

All this talk about bland, unimaginative Chinese food reminds me of that Vice article written by an angry ABC girl who was angry about bland "white people" food. And also Marco Polo brought cured ham from China only actually the Romans were doing it in like 200BC so

The Mediterranean is quite a place, they learned how to make food edible without even cooking it, just leaving it holed up long enough. Food culture can be amazing.

Side note, kimchi doesn't go bad, it just goes from "banchaa dish" to "soup addition only". Source: work-related, jar left for like, half a year? Maybe more?

Top off your cheap-rear end Corona with a shot of lemon rum instead of a citrus wedge, take the express train to buzzed land.

Kind of like how Chinese people stir fry everything in a wok, without exception, even though there's other options? I mean, I'm sure someone in China does this, literally(just like at least one person does your example), but implicating a stereotyped bias is loving stupid.

Also, you don't use an oven in the American south during the summer, it's too loving hot.

I would like to mention that Mantou are loving delicious and all you need is a little bit of spring onion or sugar mixed in and they are perfectly fine. It's basically bread, except better than wonder bread.

Also, American food on average is pretty bland and has too much sugar. There are lots of good things, but classic American families do pretty much make _everything_ using an oven.

Driver leads police in 110-mph chase on I-15; says she was �in a hurry�

WASHINGTON COUNTY � A California woman passed a Utah Highway Patrol trooper going more than 110 miles per hour and was later arrested after leading police through two counties with lights and sirens blaring Wednesday night.

Shortly after 9 p.m. UHP Trooper Grant Hintze was stopped in the median of Interstate 15 near mile marker 40 in Washington County when a white Honda flew by him at more than 110 miles per hour, a speed captured by radar, he said.

The trooper pulled out while activating his lights and sirens as he accelerated to catch up to the speeding vehicle. Within a few miles he began closing the distance and came up behind the Honda, which was then traveling at more than 117 miles per hour. The trooper continued following the car while alerting dispatch to the situation and the non-compliant driver.

Hintze provided the vehicle description along with the plate number issued out of California to dispatch as reinforcements were called in to assist.

Within minutes, an Iron County Sheriff�s deputy responded and fell in behind the trooper as both patrol vehicles pursued the driver with lights and sirens activated, while the driver continued down the interstate.

Dispatch relayed the registration information showing that the car was registered to a Lin Le out of Monterey Park, California.

Meanwhile, the trooper advised dispatch they were still pursuing the car at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.

As the Honda approached mile post 46 in Iron County, the driver merged to the right and slowed to 80 miles per hour as traffic became more congested, Hintze said. By mile post 47, the driver pulled onto the right shoulder and stopped the car.

Both officers got out and approached the car with guns drawn as they shouted commands for the driver to put her hands out the window and exit the car, but she remained inside.

She did roll down her window but with all of the noise it was difficult to determine why she just sat in her car without moving

�She did roll down her window but with all of the noise it was difficult to determine why she just sat in her car without moving,� Hintze said.

With the situation at a standstill, officers surmised that a language barrier may have been at least partially responsible for the driver�s refusal.

The Iron County deputy was able to reach a translator on the phone who spoke Mandarin Chinese and, using the loudspeaker, was able to translate the command for her to exit the vehicle. The driver complied.

�The Iron County deputy, as resourceful as he was, got a hold of that interpreter who not only got her out of the car, but assisted us during the entire stop,� Hintze said.

Through the translator, the driver was questioned and gave no reason for driving at such an excessive speed, telling officers she was heading to Salt Lake City and was �in a hurry,� he said.

Hintze also said that despite the driver�s claims that she spoke no English, they found that she has lived in both California and Nevada for several years and was able to get a driver�s license and Social Security card, both of which she had in her possession when stopped by police.

Even with the language barrier, it is still excessive to be driving more than 110 miles an hour

�Even with the language barrier, it is still excessive to be driving more than 110 miles an hour on the interstate, and it�s unrealistic to think that�s safe or legal here,� Hintze said.

Le was placed under arrest for exhibition of speed and taken to Purgatory Correctional Facility.

During the subsequent search of her car, officers found a �large amount� of mail belonging to five or six individuals who did not appear to be related to the driver, and much of it was already opened and contained information that was personal to the addressee.

Officers also found a large amount of cash and narcotics in the vehicle as well.

Le was later booked into jail on multiple offenses, including the original class C misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speed, along with one charge of drug possession and one for theft of mail, both class A misdemeanors.

�I�m glad we did what we did and got her out, and while I�m pretty sure she spoke some English I�m glad that we took precautions, did it the right way and she was taken into custody safely, and no one was hurt,� Hintze said.

The trooper added, �The best part of the situation was the Iron County deputy who was able to get that interpreter on the phone, which really helped us out there.�

Le remains in custody at the writing of this report.

This report is based on statements from police or other emergency responders and may not contain the full scope of findings. Persons arrested or charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided by a trier-of-fact.
