Personally I like americanized Chinese food, not really into heart/stomach/other weird stuff.
You know real Chinese people eat quite normal food. Its just not as crappy as the stuff you get in most Chinese restaurants.
The problem is half of you who speak of BAD Chinese food don't know good Chinese food. I mean seriously, if you came from an area loaded with Chinese people i.e. SoCal like Monetey Park or NorCal like in the Silicon Valley or SF or whatever, you would know where to hit up. More importantly, if you were Chinese, you would know what's really good. It bugs me when people speak of bad Chinese food and they still order Americanized dishes like CHOW MEIN and what not. I'd like to see people try out chicken feet at dim sum =)
I know where to go if I want $1.45 chinese food that's loaded with MSG. I also know where to find $7.95 all you can eat lunches. I also know a higher grade buffet that goes for close to $18 but at least you get a lot better quality food.
I know where to go to get real Chinese food. I go to Ranch 99 once a week with my Chinese wife, hit up many Chinese restaurants in silicon valley, etc. Whatever, I don't think chicken feet are good, I found the whole experience of cooking pig stomach to be rather unpleasant, and the taste to be equally unpleasant.
I enjoy a number of authentic Chinese dishes, I just think the rap that Americanized Chinese foods gets is unfair, there is a lot of GOOD American Chinese food.
