Chinese food

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

Mmmm....duck brain.

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

Every single Italian? How interesting. Sounds anecdotal to me.

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
