Just got back from Chinese food again. Some people invariably ask "what
do you like to eat that is Chinese?" The answer is easy, chicken.
Something I have noticed is that every culture on earth seems to eat
chicken, except for vegetarians. As a human that only likes meat, bread,
and cheese products I can tell you that chicken low mien is my Chinese
food of choice. We went to a Chinese food buffet and they practically
know my order there - chicken low mien, no vegetables. So low and behold
today at lunch at a new restaurant I discovered they had no noodle
products, it was all rice stuff. So I had the garlic chicken, no
veggies. It was edible. I used to have a problem with the MSGs in
Chinese food. The first time I had it I practically fell asleep at the
table. I was like ,"so sleepy,,,must sleep" and my head fell over on the
table. Then there is the lovely fortune cookie, which in 50% of cases is
no fortune at all. Sometimes it is," it is a nice day outside." Mine
today was "you will have fun socializing." and yesterday was "you are
next in line for a promotion." I should be, since I am the only
employee. Everyone always laughs at the saying you are supposed to put
at the end of it: "in bed", like "you will have fun socializing in bed."
I remember an episode of twilight zone where the guys fortune told him
not to cross the street and he was freaked out about it. I suppose they
give us the fortune cookie at the end of the meal cause if they gave it
at the beginning we might get," don't eat the chicken." as our fortune.
Then again it could be talking about the leftovers: "don't eat the
chicken, in bed."
