Most useless ship I've ever seen

One thing about Hawaii, the ethnic diversity gives us some really GREAT resturaunts

They have a chinese place a couple of blocks from my place that is just !!

But you're hungry about an hour later. Still, delicious food.

To counter that, I just eat more

I love Chinese food, but the prevalence of rice as well as sugar in the sauces means I have to stay away.

In fact, Chinese food is so well-liked, stereotypically, among American Jews that there's an old joke that pork is kosher as long as it's in fried rice. A town in central Jersey with a high concentration of Orthodox Jews has one or two very good strictly kosher Chinese restaurants.

Mark - ever go to Mama's Fish House on Maui?Without question the best seafodd I've ever had. The menu listed that particular day's fishermen by name.

[Mark]

I never did, but I've heard about it. Next trip to Maui, I'm looking forward to trying it.

I'll look it up too, if I ever get to travelling. I love seafood, cooked that is. Not a fan of sushi.

[Mark]

Not all sushi has raw fish I've come to learn. California rolls are safe.

[mwhittington]

In fact, sushi is vinagered rice. It's the sashimi that is raw fish, and is a component of sushi dishes. And I love all sushi.

I find some ethnic restaurants amusing. I went to an Itallian place once run by Thailanders and staffed by Tongans.

[Sionnach Glic]

There's a Spanish restaurant in the centre of Dublin City, which is staffed by the most ridiculously west-Irish people I've ever encountered.

[Mikey]

A lot of the pizzerias around here - especially the chain known ironically as "3 Brothers from Italy" - are staffed exclusively by Mexicans.

To be fair, I worked in a Chinese restaurant as a teenager.

[Sionnach Glic]

A lot of the Chinese restaurants around here are staffed by genuine Chinese people. It's the other nationalities that have no real representatives.

[mwhittington]

And American Chinese food is much better than actual food from China.
You know what the Chinese call Chinese food?...Food.

[Mikey]

And American Chinese food is much better than actual food from China.

Well, it's more... American, anyway.

[Mark]

I remember a resturaunt in LA called "Eli and Wongs" Italian AND Chinese cuisine. What a combo!!!
