Yeah I'm in Australia where there's nothing more Australian than to tell the people who run the Vietnamese bakery to gently caress off back to China, if that gives an idea how a lot of people seem to be feeling, and I think as time goes on more people are going to be demanding our government grow some balls (lol) and tell China to please pay bill for the endless river of money they're giving out. Best that can come out of this clusterfuck is maybe something will happen to cause the Chinese themselves to overthrow the commies which would probably lead to a couple million of them getting shot until the soldiers get tired of murdering their own people (happens) then a new happy era of Taiwan number one can begin and wealth beyond measure will resume for all.

This is pretty much why I stopped studying Japanese. I spent a hell of a long time learning a relatively difficult language that I don't use in my personal or professional life. The time sunk to reward ratio is pretty low. Even those I know who do use Japanese in their professional lives always couple that with another skill they have.

Speaking a foreign language has been a sign of culture and/or intelligence for centuries, but it's really a form a classism.

Speaking English also kinda makes us spoiled.

You guys lived in China and you're worried about 3 day old refrigerated rice. rofl

quote:

B. cereus is a pathogen that causes two kinds of illness. If large amounts of the toxin is consumed, it will cause a vomiting sickness 30 minutes to six hours after consumption, according to the CDC. If the stimulated spores themselves are consumed and germinate in the intestines it will cause diarrhea up to 16 hours after ingestion.

My fiance, who is mainland Chinese but immigrated to the US as a child had a roommate who is Chinese or Taiwanese but was born and grew up in Texas. The roommate somehow never had any non-chinese friends and has some particular mannerisms that would make you think she came to the US and never assimilated.

To the point, she would cook a big batch of soup or stew and leave it out, uncovered on the stove, and over the week reheat it, eat a serving, and continue to leave it out. Allegedly she never got sick, but I have no idea how.

Collateral posted:

A lot of soups and stews taste better after they prove for a while, but that is perhaps a day at most. That lady's soup would be nasty after 2-3 days sat out, fermented and rotten. Perhaps the alcohol balanced out the germs.

StevoMcQueen posted:

My BIL in Korea had made a stew with some booze in, but wasn't following the recipe and dumped the whole bottle in. It tasted foul, so he left it on the stove and reheated it for like ~1 hour a day for a week, never trying it, just reheating it, in an effort to burn off the alcohol.

After nearly a week of watching this I just binned it on the basis of it being an unnecessary health hazard amidst the current pandemic.
Probably should have thrown it away because it's a culinary disaster.

so the real reason its not such a big deal in most asian households is the keep warm setting on rice cookers. it gets to 140, 150f, the bacterial toxins form best from 75f to 95f

The real reason is they make rice more often, know how much they'll use, and have plans for leftovers. If they don't have plans, they'll just pitch it, because who wants dried out rice?

If you keep rice for any period of time at that tempt it gets pretty nasty. In the same amount of time, you could pluck the bowl out and serve out of it (which my family does every year at thanksgiving) you'll be just fine. If it's more than 90 minutes or so, I usually consider it a wash. Just put on a smaller amount of rice on later.

Grand Fromage posted:

Not true at all, leaving rice on keep warm for long periods is common if not the default. In China they even sell special rice thermoses so you can keep your rice sitting out warm for days without keeping the rice cooker full. People in China have at least mild food poisoning so regularly it's hard to track to any particular source, though. I must have heard literally thousands of people having aggressive diarrhea in public bathrooms.


Dunno how they do it in China, never been invited to look, but I knew was the case with the several families I stayed with in Japan.

The... umm... description of the food poisoning rate kinda sounds like maybe that is not the greatest method of preserving rice.

I wonder if the teahouse scam is still going strong. I read an article recently about a guy who was a victim of it once in Beijing, and it caused him to turn down a stranger’s offer to be taken out for tea in Syria years later. It took a while for him to realize that many Syrians were just genuinely hospitable and welcoming, and drink a poo poo ton of tea. Not that all Syrians good and mainlanders bad, it’s just a cultural tendency.

It is. In Japan as well. Never been a vicitim of it, but I always hear people posting about falling for it in travelers' forums.

I can also back up the opinion of Indians that Blistex experienced. When mainlanders would tell me what countries/peoples they hated, the list was almost always this one and in this order:

Koreans
Hong Kongers
Vietnamese
Indians

After that you started getting wild cards. One had Mexicans as #5 and I was so confused.

You might think Japan would be on the list but I never met anyone who had a problem with Japan, most of my students were enormous weebs. I wonder if that had something to do with being in Sichuan well west of Chongqing, which was pretty much outside of Japan's reach in the war. I can imagine people further east being raised on family stories of the Japanese invasion having a different point of view.
