Article I saw yesterday listed mostly western states as places where cases have appeared, although Virginia was also listed. New Mexico and Texas apparently are where most cases are. Possibly coming from that area or Mexico?

BIL many years ago worked for a local food service company... asian buffets always wanted vegies just before spoilage to save a few dollars. To this day, he will not eat at these places!

On the flip side.. a buffet is going to immediatly consume ( use ) large amounts of vegies daily. if they are buying still good food.. but it only has a 2-3 day life span left.. I call that good use of resources. IE.. buy a tomatoe that will be ok for consumption for 2-3 days and use it immediatly.. vs buying one good for 10 days and setting it on a shelf.
I've worked in stocking restaurants.. lots of produce gets ordered and sat on shelfs and goes bad... lemons, potatoes and onions are the fastest.... if you run a place where you can use it up as it comes in.. more power to ya.

Away back on the real farm we used to be able to store potatoes for year round use. Onions lasted about 5 months.

As for the Chinese food, My wife has serious boughts with Chinese food to the point she simply doesn't eat it. She later found out the problem is MSG. Chinese are notorious for using large amounts of MSG to enhance the flavor of their food. It's gotten so widespread that Chinese resturants will list on thier menus they use NO MSG in their food. She still doesn't trust they don't so she doesn't risk it. Then again, I tend to agree with her. We had a local Chinese joint closed down recently by the health department because they found out the chicken wasn't chicken after all. They found it to be seagull!

Gosh, you guys don't like the Chinese buffets when that's our favorite place to eat. We've tried every one in the area; one fair, two pretty good, one even better, and one outstanding.

We have a couple of great Chinese/Japanese buffets in our area also and I love their Sushi which I just started eating a couple of years ago.
As cheap as chicken is, it seems like it would not be cost-saving to use seagull (or cat) instead. We hear stories about this all the time but I believe most are urban legends.

Then you gotta take into account what is American Chinese food and which is food as would actually be eaten in China. Seeing as China is a large country with many different climate zones and dialects their local food is as varied as their dialects and regions!
