/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The Chinese have really good food, especially the southern regions, but they really need to learn presentation. 99% of Chinese, even proper chefs have no idea on how to debone a fish,duck or chicken. Don't expect them to remove shrimp veins or tails. Don't expect them to remove the shell of a crab

They just take their stupid cleaver and hack it into bits leaving you with fragments of bone, cartilage and fat that you are encouraged to swallow whole then spit out like some fucking chipmunk. No thank you.

For that reason my answer is Taiwan since they are slightly more civilized that mainlanders -- but really I'd be eating non-bone dish like pic related or at a foreign place like Thai or Japanese where they have proper instruction.

is it true that shrimp veins are their dumps? and interesting that you say Southern is better, I thought most people preferred Northern

Have you been to China and actually eaten the food? It's fucking garbage of the cheapest degree unless it's catering to foreign business people; then it's just shit you would get in the US + spice

>>11741106
come to think of it I agree partially. I got roast duck from a Chinese spot in Manhattan Chinatown (I believe it's Cantonese run) and it was way too boney for my liking. Most Chinese stuff I get is boneless anyway, though.

I am biased because I spent most of my time in Guangzhou, and most of the Chinese immigrants to my country are from the south or HK.

China is a big place, so I'm only familiar with a few regions. I know they eat a bunch of weird shit in the west with the Uyghurs and there are poor regions in the north bordering Mongolia where food is considered inedible.

And yes the veins are their poop chute. It's frustrating because their food tastes great, they just need to work on refining the techniques a bit.

I watch Food Ranger and he goes to divey places in China (mostly in the Szechuan province), the food looks amazing

>the food looks amazing
okay and? Most asian food does, it's really not that hard to make most asian dishes look good. Japan is a master of fooling people in presentation vs nutrition

>>11741148
I think Cantonese people make up most of the overseas Chinese population.

It seems like many poor parts of China have good food, though. Perhaps poverty + bad weather/isolation in certain areas leads to subpar cuisine.

And yeah, that's what I thought so I don't really trust shrimp from Chinese places for that reason. I stick with pork, chicken, beef, and boneless fish

Japan has a really high life expectancy so I'm sure their food is nutritious enough. As far as flavor, I like Japanese food but I don't think it's the best cuisine in the world.

My personal #1 is a tie between Mexico, China, and India

3/10, try harder anon. They have huge issues with shitting that is a national problem, they constantly have to chug vitamins daily to keep moving, they just walk more than most countries, the life expectancy is only a few years more which given the amount of factors other countries have that doesn't say much, etc etc.

nips don't shit? Is that why their toilets are so fancy?

>>11741196
bidets aren't fancy, they have music/noise playing because how hard it can be for fuckers to shit and they grunt, toliets autoflush and temp control the seat because how long it takes them to shit.

The amount of shit to help you poop commercials that play on trains/tv/etc is astounding

>>11741184
don't they eat a lot of vegetables though? I wonder why they have trouble shitting

>>11741208
t. squat shitting chink

>>11741216
>don't they eat a lot of vegetables though?
Usually sprinkled on top for presentation, great place for starches and meats, anything they do have is barely a "serving size"

>>11741248
Most cultures are like that to some extent. Unless they're so poor that they can't afford meat

>>11741054
They eat literally everything an anything that moves.
Any decent restaurant in a city is going to have quality dishes

>>11741268
they eat an insane amount of offal, which I don't like at all unfortunately

>>11741106
lmaoo true except for Taiwan part because Taiwan is inferior.

Do you guys like Guizhou or Yunnan food?
