AceClown posted:KFC in the UK is a complete lottery where one can be great and then one the other side of town is utter garbage Can confirm, the KFC 5-10 mins drive away from me is slow and utter garbage, whereas the one 30 mins drive is usually okay. But if I gotta drive that far for fried chicken, I'll drive another 10 and get Jollibee instead. Also, KFC in Korea is good (The double down zinger is a permanent item, and they sell portuguese egg tarts), probably because of all the local competition.

We got annoyed with him because he vetoed like six places based purely on how they looked, but then when we were driving through what I remember being a residential area he said "there, stop" and we pulled over at what basically looked like a war-ruined concrete bunker with smoke pouring out of it, with a faded hand-painted sign that said BOSS HOGG BBQ, and yeah it was basically the best food I had eaten all year

Dr. Quarex posted:I love this, thank you, I will keep this in mind when searching for tacos in Texas All the best Chinese food places in the UK now are almost always 3.2-3.5 stars on any given rating system. Usually not much more than a glazed hole in the wall, you can't see in or out because the inadequate ventilation means the window is constantly steamed. It will probably have a bunch of Chinese students from the local university eating there. Often the only place to get good pig's ear.

Thats kinda like my local Source (Canadian radio shack, are there even US radio shacks anymore?), except its a yellowed package aftermarket deck kit for some 90-something car, and its an indication of how awful, not good the store is

Where white folks will rate based on service, but ethnic chinese will rate based on food, averaging out to around 3/5.

Love all the one-star Amazon reviews that say "never got it" or "sent me the wrong thing." Right up there with awful reviews of a recipe that reveal the reviewer swapped out one or more key ingredients, thus turning it into poo poo.

Sellers on Amazon play multiple games to get good reviews. One is that they'll sell a cheap, impossible to screw up item and get good reviews for it. Then they'll do a trick where they'll keep the listing but change what the item is and keep all the good reviews. Another trick is to just straight up buy good reviews from customers. They'll send the item and enclosed in the package is a slip of paper saying "give us a five star review and we'll give you an Amazon gift card."

Its similar but different in the UK - it's not the service so much but the food. Average Brit thinks all Chinese food is UK Chinese Takeaway and will basically have an aneurism when presented with real food. 1/5 "did not even do lemon chicken or chips can't see this place lasting long when the staff haven't heard of crispy chili beef"

I don't really know anything about UK Chinese food, but I really hate this argument about American Chinese food that it isn't "authentic" when it's dishes invented and made by Chinese Americans. It's not the same as cuisine from the mainland for sure, but it's like saying chicken tikka masala isn't "authentic" Indian food because it was invented in London.

IMO when it's invented specifically to appease the tastes of the local culture, and doesn't get back-ported to the indigenous culture, it's fair to say it isn't authentic. It's just Chinese-American or Anglo-Indian or whatever. Theres nothing inherently wrong, better or worse about it, it's just different. E: for the avoidance of doubt I'm saying what's cursed is caring about Authenticity as the sole arbiter of quality. It's ok to distinguish indigenous from diaspora culture, just not ok to discriminate based on it. ReelBigLizard fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Mar 20, 2023 |
