DO you like Chinese food? 
Not every day, but generally, yes!
I could eat it every day, and nearly did, hence my botty getting bigger.
and there I thought chinese was so healthy and low in fat!
Why do chinese women who eat it daily not have big bottoms?
I reckon they go for the vegetables and not the deep fried rice and spring rolls like I do.
I've been told that what a lot of us in the west consider Chinese food isn't something you'd find in China. Those big orders of deep-fried cr@p we see in "chinese" restaurants are often our own weird interpretations of good Chinese dishes.
That's what I've heard too, ehBeth. Here on the Pacific Rim I think we may be getting better, but I'd love to go to China and taste the cuisine there. Then I'd really know if I liked Chinese food or not!
The short answer is, yes, I like the food served here in Chinese restaurants.
What do they call Chinese food in China?
. . . food.
I used to eat "Chinese" food (well, the American version) all the time and very little was deep-fried-- Kung pao chicken, beef with broccoli, etc. And I gained weight like no tomorrow. I chalked it up to lots of oil used in the cooking process.
I knew a Chinese guy who owned a Chinese take-out place here. He referred to it as "dog food."
Even at the restaurants in Chinatown(which I assume are more authentic), a lot of the food is heavy in oil and fat. I do like Chinese though. Also like Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese, which are lighter.
