I feel like "cherry pepper smoothie" would sound more palatable but not by much

And it's that old-school boiled asparagus that made used to make me think that asparagus was terrible, even before sending it into the blender!

Move over Cincinnati, there's a new regional Ohio food in town https://twitter.com/RegionalUSFood/status/1654120442473373696  Looks like they have onions/garlic/various seasonings plus ham/sausage/etc depending on the recipe, honestly I'd probably love em.

Chinese chips are quite nice, very crunchy. Generally prefer the rice myself though.

Chinese restaurants near me (US) have always served fries so it's weird to me that people keep calling that out in particular. Fried chicken wings with french fries or fried chicken wings with pork/other fried rice is a standard Chinese takeout order here. The Chinese takeout fried wings are a different recipe than the dedicated fried chicken places, so they're worth getting. The best lemon pepper wings of any lemon pepper wings I can find are served by a local Chinese place. Also seeing posts from Americans saying they order teriyaki? From their Chinese restaurants?? None carry that here either.

I've only ever considered fries on a US Chinese menu to be there for children to order. its certainly not something I've seen someone actually order not too denigrate it, if they're good I could see ordering it but I always assume it's an item given 0 care by Chinese places

Weirdest part about my local chinese restaurant growing up is that they made the best pizza in town, and it wasn't even particularly close. Eventually one or two pizzerias started up that were at least solid competition, maybe even better, but it's still weird that a chinese restaurant even has pizza, let alone good pizza.AARD VARKMAN posted:I always assume it's an item given 0 care by Chinese places Fries is not an item that requires care. You take them out of the freezer and dump them in the deep fryer for 5 minutes. Probably the easiest food to make at a restaurant.

I would expect any food place that owns a fryer to also own a pack of frozen fries to throw into it. Where I grew up the fashion of "asian" was Viet-Thai, which means Pho, some Thai main dishes and euro-chinese duck. They also all added a small sushi bar once that boom started. A more interesting trend was mid-sized kebap places expanding by buying a pizza oven and serving pizza. Giving us pizza with kebap meat, which is meh, and pizza suzuck, which is great. And some even started using the ovens to make their own bread for the kebaps, making them secret tips.

That said it seems like they've got a bunch of innovative frie based dishes in actual Korea, these days.

getting chips at the chinese takeaway and saying "fusion cuisine" as I dip them in hoi sin. I eat quite a lot of Chinese food here in Sydney, and I've never seen chips on the menu of an out-and-out 'Chinese' restaurant. That said, a lot of the chicken shops or fish & chips places will have various "Asian" cuisines as options, a banh mi, dim sims, curries etc. So it's more that takeaways often have the standard 'western' food (chips, burgs) and the owners will just chuck in extra options. Perhaps it's reversed in the UK, I wasn't brave enough to try what an English person would consider an acceptable Chinese meal. My local bakery sells cambodian curry next to lamingtons and mudcakes. It owns, I welcome this form of multiculturalism gladly.

Lol the thought of a group of people deciding "let's get Chinese tonight" and opening a bunch of styrofoam containers of chicken wings with fries is really quite something.

I don't know anyone who would just get chips, and tbh I also don't know anywhere that does just chicken unless you get maybe satay chicken or something, you usually get a rice or stir fry main and chips to go with.

I wouldn't order it but yeah fried wings and fries is a pretty common order for a Chinese food place here. Spaghetti pie is less common. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loOt8DbXtWU

I think the thing is, in the UK, most chinese places are fish and chip shops first, and the Chinese takeaway aspect is secondary. Not all fish and chips shops will do Chinese, but most, if not all, Chinese takeaways will do fish and chips. Then they sell nuggets or whatever for the kids, because who cares, you have the oil going anyway, may as well bulk out the menu. The chips can be variable though depending on how well they know their fryer and how much they care. Best ones in the area used to be from the shop next to the graveyard, and sometimes we'd take bread and butter with us and make chip butties next to the graves in the evening. Then one day the owner announced he was going back to China and it shut overnight. Now I have to go a mile if I want the good stuff!

Data Graham posted:I distinctly remember there was a time in like the early 90s when the Nutrition Facts info boxes were standardized to the format they're in now, and all the serving sizes were made "realistic". Like before that a can of Coke would be listed as like 1 2/3 servings or some poo poo, or the serving size on a bag of chips would be given in ounces; but afterwards it was like "it's 1 serving, give me a break. Serving size: 1 CAN".

In Ireland, there are basically 2 types of Chinese restaurant/takeaway - the very rare actually authentic ones who adhere to a regional style, and the omni-present, bog-standard type that carry the same menu as every other one - ribs, spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, chow mein etc etc. One of the ordinary type in my town closed down when the owners retired, and some younger family members reopened with a new, interesting non-standard menu, including a menu handwritten in chinese on the counter that had dishes completely unfamiliar to the average Irish person. It was really really good, and closed down after about 6 months only to turn back into the same old boring stuff because that's what sells  Example of authentic Irish-Chinese fusion cooking - the Spice Bag
