My wife, bless her heart, has some of what I refer to as science experiments in the refrigerator lower drawers that I never open or look at.

I also never accompany her to any Asian Buffet restaurants. I give those a side eye. In fairness, I don't frequent any Buffet restaurants.

I did take her to a 'Diner' in Sturgis, South Dakota in May so my comment about Buffets probably isn't fair as I do like a 'fine' diner from time-to-time. ...

Like everyone else here I don't eat anything from china. Especially seafood and shellfish, particularly if it's "farm" raised. Farm raised in the USA isn't good, but farm raised in China is orders of magnitude worse. If you use your imagination it probably wouldn't be enough. I saw some photos of water farm raised something or another in China, the "water" was a polluted sludge of feces, heavy metals, and petroleum, with some poor schmuck working barefoot in a small dugout canoe carved from a log. Incredible. In general I believe Chinese business culture is worse than completely corrupt when it comes to food and product safety.

Absolutely no food coming from China. These days, these commie assholes are trying to be clever with "Product of P.R.O.C." instead of "Made In China" on many of their labels, hoping many don't know.

I won't buy my dog treats or food from China. No way I would ever eat anything from there. Further I will only buy wild caught or farm raised fish from the USA or places like Norway etc...

Doing my best to avoid any from China, if accidentally buy any food from China trash is where it belong plus leave comment on the online retailer to alert other shoppers.

There usee to be excellent gas station Sushi in Evergreen, over by the lake...

But he shut it down a few years ago now.

Yall crazy as hell, when I get back home first thing I'm doing is hitting up the local Chinese Buffet.

Yall gonna tell me the 6.99 AYCE by the house isn't authentic Chinese?

Watch the show "Rotten" on Netflix, its pretty entertaining and shows US producers are often just as greedy as PRC, Chinese, PROC, all of the above.

I'd have a hard time calling Chinese food trash, yall never had my mama's meatloaf.

Now Nanny Betty, that woman could cook!

That's the only sandwich I'd eat from a truck stop bathroom.


I'll eat just about anything but I tend to avoid Indian food. I know a restaurant equipment distributor and the stories he told me about Indian restaurants would make anyone not want to eat in one.

As for the no to Mexico idea, I don't really think that is possible, a lot of vegetables are grown there and and large amount of avocados, like 90% or something come from Mexico, pretty sure every Hass one comes from Mexico.

Depends on the time of year. Kommiefornia produces a *lot* of avocados, but you won’t see much from CA outside of January through July or August.

I stopped going to Chinese buffets (what the hell was I thinking to begin with?) after seeing big pieces of frozen pig being turned into small pieces of frozen pig in the kitchen. On the tile floor of the kitchen.

And, generally don't eat products that are labeled from countries that aren't known for high sanitation standards. Or, from countries that hate us. That list pretty much starts with "China."

Eah it's 2021, we all eat ass.

Don't eat the food in Lagos, Nigeria.

Bring it with you.
