Sort of a hijack, sorry.
Mexican and what is "authentic". For those who have been to a part of mexico, and think that they now have it figured out. Being a large country, with different growing conditions, crops, and ethnic influences. Mexico doesn't have an authentic food. Northern Mexico uses more cumin, hence the different tastes in Tex-Mex. People hear that phrase, and ASSume, it means Texan. Which, is historically, Mexico! But it is regional, on both sides of the border.
Now for Italian. If you think it's all tomato sauce and pasta. Oh hell. You ain't gonna like this story either.
Don't know crap about real Asian food. Well, the Vietnamese that run the local Chinese place eat some of the same stuff they sell. China-mese-merican food? He'll I don't know. Eats good. Makes a decent turd. All I need.

In Hong Kong now will be back in the states Sunday have a bunch of pictures if someone could post for me Can't guarantee how long it will take me, but I can post pics. I've had a layover in the old Hong Kong airport, unfortunately it was too short to visit the city. Did spend a week in Singapore and enjoyed some authentic quality Chinese food, as well as other Asian and SE Asian cuisine. When you have the real deal, with real deal fresh ingredients it really makes you appreciate how wonderful the food is.

Love it. Can't get it here. Best was a small restaurant in Albuquerque run by a Chinese family. Home cooking, not the fancy stuff. Next was a Thai restaurant in Springfield, MO of all places where if you ordered full power the owner would come out and try to dissuade you in very broken English. called "Thai Hot" when I spent my time in Thailand (TDY from Okinawa),,,,got to be careful with that!

Such diversity (I know....a dirty word) in flavors, ingredients, techniques..........China is a massive country that includes huge areas that subsist of different crops, seafood, stock, and herbs.........
I love Asian food just because there is so much variety.

Back in the states and got home an hour ago. Left Hong Kong 24 hours ago. Flight UA896 had a great tailwind and hit O'Hare early but connecting flight to Moline was cancelled as normal so hit the Emerald Isle and drove home to the airport and picked up my truck and headed to Iowa. Real Chinese food is all over the map as far as dishes and can vary from 30 cent street food in the PRC to $300 per person seafood meals in Hong Kong along the bays. Normally I stay in a 5 star hotel that offers a buffet of a wide variety of food for supper but eat lunch at the local places. Culture and what part of China drives their preference of dishes. Vegetables make up the bulk of the dishes with rice being southern and noodles the north. 458 L has volunteered to help with the pics so after I get over the train wreck jet lag will try to get pictures up. Before I get dog piled on about China manufacturing I am a project manager for a large US corporation that owns plants in Asia and our product from those plants are for the Asian market. I set up manufacturing lines in these plants. My experience is limited to 28 weeks in the PRC and HK over the last 4 years so far with HK being when you arrive and leave. This year looks like 2 weeks in the states and 2 weeks in the PRC until the end of the year

Looks like most images are over 2mb so I'll have to resize them before I can upload them and don't have time for that right now. I did get a couple uploaded.
