Chinese food

Disagree. Real Chinese food, like duck brain, is far superior to the crap we have here. Except for Din Tai Fung.

Not really. When Italians come here they uniformly acknowledge that our lasagna and pizza are better.

I served my mission in Italy. Every Italian I talked to that had been in America wanted to tell us about it. I don’t
