Is it just me or have you gone off Chinese food recently?

it used to be a favourite of my mine for delivery take away or restaurant but now I dont like it! it always seems so fattening and full of chemicals.... I feel like if I eat chinese food its the most calorific thing and its always greasy and too salty. Im just wondering if anyone else has found this -

I love indian food now, it seems so well prepared and cooked with real passion and talent. Chinese just seems processed...

Saying that though, Im sure there are some great chinese restaurants out there, but I have seen any for a long time where I live. which is the UK by the wayIs it just me or have you gone off Chinese food recently?
For the most part I agree. I still love the way they cook duck, and if you hunt around you can find some good chinese soups. I wish they had more extensive selections when it came to soups though. I had an egg noodle soup with roast duck in chinatown nyc once, and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten at any price. It was two dollars.

But yeah, I seem to be on an indian kick now too. It'd so ******* addictive. I'm craving it just about every day now. Balti, Madras, Jalfrezi, any of those. I had something at heathrow in the british airways lounge that tasted like an indian version of chili. I wish I knew the name of it, because it was phenomenal. Also I like naan but I don't see why chapatis aren't more popular. They've got to be healthier, and to me they seem like indian tortillas. Usually I opt for them over naan. I'm also hooked on chana masala. I'm so glad indian food is so popular in the UK. The chinese here does suck terribly though. It's much better in the states. Especially on the coasts.
Many restaurants Indian, Thai and Chinese don't cook from scratch anymore. Many of the vegetables are fresh but the meat is usually frozen and they buy pre-prepared stocks and pastes from cash-and-carry suppliers to create the basic flavour then occasionally add their own flourish.

If you can get hold of the stocks and pastes you are most of the way their to making the dish at home.Is it just me or have you gone off Chinese food recently?
We have a lot of self-service Oriental restaurants where I live (we had four at their peak, although one is now a Japanese restaurant) and the quality of the food has gone down. They are making big profits, and are now buying cheaper, inferior ingredients to make even more of a profit. As a result I have gone off Chinese cooking. :(
I think indian takeaway food is of much better quality than chinese usually, not really when it comes to the meat but with the spices used etc. Indian food requires lots of spice blending and slow cooking whereas chinese food in the UK is more about deep frying and coating in a 'sweet and sour' sugar syrup.Is it just me or have you gone off Chinese food recently?
It's unfortunate really because there is some really tasty and healthy Chinese food. In my area there are a few traditional places popping up and the food is great and not covered with sugar and salt.
I love Chinese food and Indian food, which is becoming more and more popular in my area.
I haven't gone off Chinese food. I was never into it in the first place. I do not consider that stuff to be food.
nah its you



just like all foods our taste buds get used to certain flavours tastes etc

so keep tryin diff things from the chinese and not always the same
I like it but my 11yr child has gone off it big time
