Really interesting. Would the majority of the consumers have similar reaction? If yes then I am surprised that McD’s has not modified the burger.

Yes, I want to call you ignorant. Italian food, by its very geography, is Mediterranean.

I eat “authentic” Chinese food virtually every day, and have eaten frogs only twice in almost six years (that’s twice out of 2190 authentic Chinese dinners) and only because it was a specialty at a restaurant. I’ve never even seen cat or rat on a menu.

Chinese is not the best in the world what a bold claim, everything is stir fried and nasty…how is that the best? Mediterranean food is the best…so much fresh vegetables and meats that are healthy….shit even Italian is better, Chinese is far from the best, if i were to eat Asian Japanese is the most superior of all Asian nations in terms of food, granted Chinese food here isn’t exactly authentic but authentic Chinese food is gross, why would i want to eat frogs and cats…..and yes you want to to call me ignorant i dont give a rats poop, but hey Chinese people might eat the rat before it poops..

My mum does that! Yet despite her disdain for raw vegetables and dairy products, she love thousand island dressing. And we thought the Russians were a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a mystery . . .

John, hilarious post – and having just returned from my ‘holidays’ part of which involved relocating my mother-in-law from the north east to the tropical island of Hainan… I know first hand how true this is.

@boyce: great add in – as I’ve heard that rumor too. Nice to know the truth behind it.

speaking of china and cheese, i’ve heard many times that are lactose intolerant and thus don’t like milk products, including cheese. last year, i interviewed sharon ruwart, co-founder of the beijing cheese society, for a magazine and she said there were some misconceptions about this. here’s the relevant paragraph:

“We are also seeing more interest in our events from Chinese [in try cheese at the Beijing Cheese Society events]. There’s a perception that Chinese are lactose intolerant and will react badly to cheese, but cheese is actually lactose-free since the bacteria consume the lactose as part of the ripening process and leave only lactic acid. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how eager our Chinese guests are to taste the cheeses. Blue cheeses are among the most popular kinds. My own theory is that it reminds Chinese of chou dofu (stinky tofu)!”

cheers, bb

I loved that, it’s so funny and yet so true. I live in a smaller Chinese city so I get stared at a lot, but I still never get used to it.
I always laugh when Chinese people ask me how much I love Chinese food (it’s not really a question, so much as a statement you’re expected to agree with) then when I tell them one or two dishes I don’t like they are shocked. How can you not like “insert-dish-here”!
