Music Banter - Your Day

You know, I've actually heard from a friend of mine who went to China on a school trip, that actual Chinese food is pretty gross. Just straight grease. Not to mention the fact that the majority of Chinese food doesn't make it over here, since by all accounts they'll eat just about anything.

Yep, I've heard this too - my boyfriend has been to China and said all the authentic food was just unappetizing. I think that the food has just been "Americanized" to appeal to the market here. I'm also pretty sure that the popular takeout product of Chow Mein doesn't even exist in China.

He also said that Serbian food here is pretty damn close to the real thing, which is good I guess because then he can eat stuff that he really likes.

Unknown Soldier, WTF! The greasy, goopy, salty mess of fish and chips is the absolute best thing ever. Throw in some tartar sauce and a lemon and you have yourself a real treat!!

That should be against health and safety.

I can't speak about Chinese food in China but here it's the second most popular for dining out and usually the most expensive as well. I'm not a huge fan, but when I do eat Chinese I usually enjoy it quite a lot and to be fair have never ever eaten greasy Chinese.

I loves me some Chinese food as well. A trip to the local Chinese buffet is one of the best way to cure some munchies.

I always find that after eating a big Chinese meal, a few hours later I'm hungry again, whereas with Indian it has done the job and I'm full for several hours.

Pretty much the same as mine. The Middle Eastern Arab is going to be similiar to Turkish based on what I've tried. Serbian I have no idea, but Greek I'm not a huge fan.

Serbian food is similar in a lot of ways to Greek - of course they are both Balkan and have a long history together with the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, so there are similarities across the board. And of course there are also similarities with Turkish food as well.

I like burek, I recommend the cheese filled kind. Its really good phyllo pastry that is usually always eaten with yogurt. I also like Proja, which is just a simple bread but it tastes great, and desserts like Krempita (like a custard pie) and Sampita (which is like a marshmellow type of filling on a phyllo crust).

FETCHER.
