My aunt is from Shanghai. She said that most of the Chinese food ate in the states is not eaten by the majority of the country, as it is EXPENSIVE to do so. The developed world has a lot more disposable income, and therefore can afford to eat the "luxuries" of the Chinese foods. |
Sort of. Granted most chinese don't eat what we think of as 'chinese food', but the seasonings and other stuff have definitely evolved to become more american imo (this coming from having eaten at fancy pants restaurants in china and having an absolutely amazing chinese place down the street from me).
good lord the chinese place down the street from me is amazing too, dude owns an entire farm and grows all his own veggies, gfdgjadhlfgk they're fucking amazing.
