re: #574 HappyWarrior
Good points. We definitely do Americanize foreign food in any case. I remember eating Chinese food at a family of a coworker of my dad’s once and it was totally different than at the restaurants. No jelly fish on the menu at your local takeout restaurant, that’s for sure.
All the Chinese restaurants I used to go to, on the Happy Family the menu would always say: “Sea cucumber optional, please specify.” For the record, I always specified against.
