do people in china....

[dansim]

call chinese food, chinese food?
do they go out and say "we are going out for chinese food wanna go?"
or do they just order in some food....
same goes with italians

[EsPo]

I would imagine they dont say " lets go out for chinese food" in china. Do you say.. " Hey, lets go get some American food"? i rest my case

[LIGHTEMUP]

hes gotta point ^

[Brak]

the food people chinese people eat in china normally is absolutely nothing like the chinese food we buy here. think of eating mcdonalds every single day of your life, thats what eating our chinese would be like to people in china

[jdev]

did you maybe stop to think they say, "lets go out to eat"

[Johnny_Reb]

Well EsPo what exactly IS American food, cheeseburgers? But I doubt the Chinese would say"were going out for Chinese food wanna go", No I think they would say:"Were going out for SARS wanna go"?:

[Wang]

actually, I think they speak chinese in china, so it'd sound all weird

[Grasshopper]

My cat ate a bowl of SARS, but I got him some Cambells soup, and some Nyquil. Anyhow, I think Wang has a point, they spreak chineese, so it'd be something like "ching wong frong song long, pong!". I don't know

i dont think there is american 'food' persay (mainly because we are made up of a bunch of different countries).. just the cuisine we have here (hot dogs hamburgers, various other processed meat products). i was really just using that as an example.

Gotta means got to, not got a.

Hamburgers originated in germant so it's not American.

Chinese people generally dont eat the stuff they make at Chineses restaraunts. They just make the food like that so us Americans will eat it.

Trust me. I have a few friends who are chinese and one's dad owns a few restaraunts. I ate at his house a few times and it wasn't what you would normally eat at a chinese place. Freshwater eel and noodles, pig intestine, really really spicy pork, and some really salty fish and rice.

What exactly is american food? Freedom fries are probably the only food made in US that i can think of.. if it even was invented in the US. "ohhoho yea, lets all go out for some strans of potatos that have been deepfried....". I rest my case.
If you are used to Chinese food, you wouldn't want to eat "American" food.

resturants don't serve every single Chinese dish. Just saying Chinese food is somewhat vuege. You know how big China is? Each different provence has separate cuisines ie Shanghai style, Hunan style, Sitzuan style, etc. Most resturaunts just serve what Americans would probably like to eat.

Well yeah I agree with you that there really isnt "American food" but EsPo said he was just using it as an example.
