I've also had *real* Chinese food (and drink) while visiting the PRC back in the mid 80's. I *much* prefer the American versions. :-) What? You don't like chicken feet and fried crickets? ------------------------------------ The fried crickets were ok but the chicken feet were tough. |

Oh ... yeah ... and the strange "meat" that I was assured tastes "just like chicken". Boiled Pigeon eggs for breakfast washed down with a glass of warm goat milk? No thanks. I spent five months or so in the 1970s as a contractor for Burroughs and stayed at the old Friendship Hotel. I got over my squeamishness and actually went to some "banquets" where the food was very good. I rarely asked what it was I was eating. My job was to translate computer operating manuals from American English into "simple English" for the Chinese techies who were learning how to use "modern computers" for agricultural weather forecasting and were also learning English. Nowadays, there are tens of millions of Chinese in China who read and speak American English. Did you do the wire line drawings too? Memorizing or figuring out the mnemonics was a bitch. I don't recall there being any manuals. |

If your Italian buddy is making pizza which is popular among Americans, then he's most likely become 'Americanized' in his pizza making skills. He's a master pizzailolo, and takes great pride in it. Nothing but traditional pies that he's trained in making. If he were serving what's served in Italy, he'd go broke. Bull****. I believe the Costco pizzaiolos are quite properly trained. They do a much better job than the folks in Italy! John (Gun Nut) H. Please, show what training they've had to become master pizzaiolos, idiot. You really ought to try a discussion without childish name-calling. It could be an enlightening experience. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

"John H" wrote in message ... I spent three years in Puerto Rico, much of it living in Isabella. My best buddy was Manuel Jimenez. I ate at his house as often as I could. I loved his mama's cooking. I mentioned this in class once, and a Puerto Rican boy brought some rice and beans in for me. Wow. The taste was identical to what I remembered. ---------------------------------- We lived "off base" in a rented house while stationed in Puerto Rico. Our next door neighbors (quite a bit older than us) were awesome people and often invited us for dinner. I can't remember the names of all the dishes or even what they were but they were absolutely delicious. |
