i like how authentic it is, not like western cuisine

I like the taste, even if it is brought about by outrageous amounts of sodium and exotic spices and sauces. It's all worth it.

battered and deep-fried protein smothered in sugar

Unironic huh?

I don't think I've ever had legit chinese food...just the americanized version of it...which can be tolerable but I doubt it's legit considering how huge the chinese eastern coast is and the river system. They probably mostly eat fish.

Not quite, fish is common but not as much as pork or chicken because fish is much more work to cook, and the type of freshwater fish we eat are usually too bony for Western taste anyways.

Finding part of my neighbor's dog in my meal.

i don't really like chinese food

MSG and gutter oil

Ten pounds of sodium in every dish.

where can I buy good gutter oil for authentic chinese cuisine?

I don't know of any importers, but you can harvest it yourself.

For me, it's the chive dumpling. The best dim sum.

Im not a cannibal, so nothing.

Question: what difference if any is there between Szechuan style and american szechuan style?

I'm Chinese American and it's kind of samey once you've tried a few dishes. All the restaurants I've been to serve the same thing.

I like the salt and pepper crab, roast duck, and shrimp dumpling.

Childhood is idolizing taro cake,

Adulthood is realizing that bean curd is the right choice.
