sabotabbySometimes you make assumptions about regional foods. I know, for example, that most of what we call "Chinese food" in North America bears absolutely no resemblance to anything actually eaten in China. (My friend Ellen was in for a shocking surprise the first time she visited a Chinese restaurant here.) But ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
corvus just alerted me to this article, which suggests that fake-Chinese food not only doesn't exist in China, but it doesn't even exist outside of Canada. WTF?
Anyway, he is pretty sure that they don't have sweet-and-sour chicken balls in the U.S. I find this mind-boggling; I always thought that this particular culinary violation originated in the States. But it appears that we might be to blame.
WTF is that? It's gross.
Therefore, a poll is in order:

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!
