Ugh. I can't even eat most of that "Chinese" food so common in North America anymore. Sweet and sour pork is essentially McDonaldsified McPorkNuggets in artificial glow-in-the-dark sauce.
Luckily, I live near a Chinatown in Toronto, and go for good noodles, Soy chicken, or congee at 2 in the morning for US$2.50, or perhaps a nice bowl of Vietnamese Pho, instead of that greasy garbage you find in rural USA. 😛 Luckily, it's getting hard to find that fake Chinese stuff around here now.
I'll have to admit though, Chop Suey, even though it isn't authentic, isn't bad, since all it is is essentially stir fried vegetables etc.
