Haha no. I'm Chinese. Even beyond the dogmeat memes(the swiss eat that too apparently), Chinese cuisine besides Cantonese cuisine is unapproachable without more flexible mindset, because it's not just that some of the food that's weird (chicken feet is great btw), but also structure, how meals are seldomly designed to be eaten alone and you choose from many medium sized dishes which revolves around everyone's own bowl of rice unlike a western or a Japanese meal where it's a single plate, bowl or set meant to be eaten alone just by you. Japan's longer contact with the west and also their culinary culture based around individual damiyos rather than family units make them much more familiar to western cuisine than a Chinese meal where even normal ones like Cantonese cuisine (when they're using normal animals and not frogs) would seem quite alien.
