Mags 1 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Just in from Chinese- it's their New Year starting tonight and since I'm on such good terms with the family who owns the best place around here (lovely folk, great sushi, there at least once a week) they invited me to join in their family meal. Excellent stuff although not at all what the standard american would expect- General Tsao's chicken this was not! Time now for a cuppa and then a movie or two. 85663[/snapback] Sushi in a chinese restaurant? Just finishing off the prawn crackers with some sweet&sour sauce meself. 85669[/snapback] Look at it this way- us yanks are supposed to be an ignorant lot- thick as shite and unwilling to try anything new. We're used to having chinese restaurants here but to call your restaurant asian or japanese just isn't going to float. Hence- the logic to just call it all chinese, keep the masses happy with a chinese buffet, but for those few souls who have an adventurous appetite expand the menu to open up a whole new section on the market/business that no one else does. Does that explain it a bit better for you Brock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even have aromatic duck and that's expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Had a good game last night, let one in but the ref disallowed it for player in the crease. So I said "i'll give you your fiver later" Oh and I had to save two 1 on 1's which I was quite chuffed about. Ok none of you care but I don't mind.
