@ericcrackschina: Why Chinese Food Abroad Tastes Nothing Like China? Chinese food abroad wasn’t created for taste — it was created for survival. Different ingredients, different history, different audience. It's not “fake.” It’s a cultural negotiation. #EricOnChina #ChineseFood #AmericanChineseFood #FoodCulture #ChinaVsUS #RealChina #CultureStories #ChineseCuisine #ModernChina #chinainsights #globalperspective #ChinaExplained

I had a girlfriend from Chongqing and she used to tell me she could make me a different dish every day of the year and never make the same for 3 years.

It is the same for “Italian” food in America. Early immigrants didn’t have access to the ingredients that were available in Italy so they improvised. Also, the food in Italy varies by region and season. There isn’t a national cuisine.

China is fascinating. I wish I could go. My nephew spent 3 months there for college. He speaks Mandarin. He is saving up to go back. He is a young black MAN. NEVER felt threatened. Curiosity but not raw hatred we feel in the USA

I was fortunate to live in Lanzhou for three years. To a Westerner like me, their food was art. Incredible, beautiful, delicious.

You should try Indian-Chinese food. It has a similar story of survival, adaptation and thriving. It is wildly popular in India. I don’t know where you live but I’d be happy to recommend a restaurant. It isn’t easy to find them in China but they do exist.

My childhood best friend's mom was from Hong Kong and through her my grade school mouth got an education on authentic Chinese cuisine; both at their home, and at restaurants in the Oakland, Ca area, as she often got us into the special dining room.

I'm sure Chinese food is great, but aesthetically, Korean and Japanese food looks more appetizing and western palates are more used to it.
