complaint with restaurants (which dosen't make sense to me)

[Jstpssng]

Worst ever was in China.

We were visiting a local plant in Wuhan (before Wuhan became famous). The local manager was happy and proud the US guys were visiting. Said the team is preparing a special dinner!

While touring we stumbled into the kitchen. OMG. I’ve never seen so much blood and “parts” in one place. 10’s of folks running around and stuff being cut and cooked. Live animals in cages.

I ate rice and drank beer for dinner.

I worked with a Jamaican years ago who was a vegetarian. He said it was because his father ran a slaughterhouse (in Jamaica) and things he saw made him stop eating meat.

"In fact, I believe the reason why the Chinese failed to develop botany and zoology is that the Chinese scholar cannot stare coldly and unemotionally at a fish without immediately thinking of how it tastes in the mouth and wanting to eat it. "

Yes - but could they cutoff the head before serving. I can’t eat fish where the eyes are still looking at you!

A pound of dirt before you die?

H*ll I probably ate a pound of dirt before I was 6!

Did you even grow up a rural kid?

DITTO!

I have eaten at restaurants/night markets in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, S. Korea, Japan, and mainland Chinese cities.
Only rule I had was if it tasted good, I would eat it!
I am 80 and still alive!

When ordering food at a restaurant, I asked the waiter how they prepare their chicken.​

"Nothing special", he explained. "We just tell them they're going to die."

It’s an experience you don’t forget.

it has been close to three years since the wife and I have been in a restaurant,,
(First KETO diet,, then COVID)
WOW, we developed a shared duty cooking method,, and I do not think we will ever willingly go back to having food served to us.

It has nothing to do with the $$$,, it has EVERYTHING to do with QUALITY,,

We eat first class,, EVERY day,, EVERY meal,, even something as simple as eggs for breakfast,,
(we have our own chickens)

The two families of our daughters LOVE when we invite them over,,
they know the food will be GREAT,,

How can I waste time going out to eat,, knowing how poorly the food is prepared!!??
