every chinese food menu has like 200+ items. has anyone ever actually tried every single thing on the menu?

>> No.14445686

No, but if I were on death row my request for a last meal would be one of everything on the menu from a good Chinese place.

>> No.14445699

>>14445680
I've not done 200, but I've done a fair few.
There is a wide variance in quality. Some of the stuff is complete garbage, some is delicious.
And there's lost of re listings of the same dish with a different sauce or protein, or a slightly different veggie combination. So there's far fewer distinct dishes than you would think.

Death row usually gives a spending limit and that limit depends on the prison. 50 bucks seems to be the mean but some don't even have any final meals for their inmates at all.

Many inmates get tons of fast food and several liters of soda. Some just get all their sweet tooth fix of store candy. Twice an inmates final meal was a single olive with the pit still inside

If they renamed all the duplicate items "Dum Pale Man", the menu could fit on an index card.

That's a mexican restaurant pretending to be chinese.

Its not just Chinese, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and they had a massive menu. Very intimidating and a good enough reason to not go back.

That's just the front, sometimes the back like ones near where I live have the "traditional" menu there.

try stretching your squinty eyes open. almost every category of dish is listed as "w. wh*Te rice". side order just means you get another whole plate.

My experience has been that if the restaurant is pre-80s, you can pretty much order anything and they'll make it. If it's new blood (and the staff doesn't even pretend to understand Cantonese, lol) they're usually hardline on folliwing the menu.

China Chinese eateries are set up so they technically cook any combination of starch + protein + veg + sauce they have, aside from specialties like stews. These bloated menus suggest that they can do the same, they are more like lists of the top 50 combinations

I'm not Chinese but that's why one has to hollar at them sometimes to get the order across, the fresh off the boat types tend to not understand English very well.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

i heard they stopped it at some places cause they would make exorbitant requests and not be in the mood to eat anything or just did it out of spite.
