Big Beef City posted:Why is it anglicized as 'Sz' then rather than 'Sr' The current romanization of its namesake is "Sichuan", it just is called "Szechuan" due to inertia, like Peking Duck and a lot of other Chinese dishes.

a hole-y ghost posted:i have no idea. the alternate way of spelling it is Sichuan. it's like some Hungarian came in to spell it for us or something Well that actually solves it for me, if you think about it. If you think british/australian and say "Sir", as you said, or "Sirs" more specifically that accent would say "Sirs" as "sAyz" Hence the the "Sz" rather than "Sr". That's actually quite remarkable a hole-y ghost, very interesting.

Serious reply: A lot of those places were run by first gen immigrants who rode the boat over in the 60s and have now retired and sold it to the viets coming over now to run. Viets are literally ruining "chinese" food

I just want to reiterate: Do not put Gen. Tso's chicken in your rear end in a top hat. Do not insert any chinese take away foods into ANY orifice other than your mouth. And even then, please take care not to burn yourself. Thank you.

Big Beef City posted:Well that actually solves it for me, if you think about it. Its more like sue-shhh-wan just said all at once. The old wade giles romanization of Chinese that brought us poo poo like Szechuan isn't used anywhere anymore and are usually just really old holdovers. Most places use the modern pinyin spellings like sichuan which makes a whole lot more sense once you get the basic phonetic differences down. Also, most Chinese restaurants have an English menu, and a much much larger Chinese menu. If your Chinese place doesn't have pork blood cake in the hot and sour soup it is probably trash.

I keep wanting to like Chinese takeout, but you're right it's pretty gross and I can tell they're using the same sauce for everything. I also can't stop thinking about the kitchen nightmare that must be producing the stuff. Thanks Ramsey.

There is a Chinese restaurant here (I live in a heavily Korean populated county) that will bread pieces of pork and mix them in when you order general tso chicken, etc.

If they have dim sum on weekends that's a good sign.

One of the two places we would get chinese food from was ran by an old asian man with a chin mole that had 2 hairs protruding down past his chest. The food owned, the hair owned, I'm sad that place is gone now.

I would kill for some American Chinese food - chicken chow mein, wonton soup, good eggrolls. All I've had in the past several years has been Thai and Japanese and I'm really sick of those.

OP the real answer is food service companies that sell all the breaded chicken/beef poo poo frozen along with 5 gallon buckets of lemon/orange/sweet&sour souse you could imagine. They just deep fry the frozen product, slather it with sugary sauce and serve. see: http://www.foodservicedirect.com/index.cfm/S/389/CLID/2033/Chinese_Food.htm

i really like water chestnuts and idk if that's "allowed" or not. it just seems that they're good at soaking up whatever background flavors are present and gathering it in a delicious crispy puck of what i assume is starch. They're really good and make me happy.
