I had Chinese food in Florence, Italy. So that supports @jaykay’s universal statement. Although, I have to say here in Memphis is it hard to find decent Chinese, and my neighbor never goes out for Chinese, she said she wanted to go with me one time since I know what to order.
In NY there used to be Cuban Chinese restaurants, both menus, maybe a few exist? My aunt said whe. She was little she would get pork fried rice and fried plantains. Lol.
@everephebe Sandwiches? You mean deli LOL. Are you a Jewish New Yorker? I agree Chinese and pizza are the most typical take out in America.
@The_Idler We use both, depends what part of the states. Chinese and Chinese food.
