I don't know if you ate Chinese food in Chinese people's homes or in restaurants.
In fact, one of the dishes I miss is chicken feet. I used to eat that as dimsum back in the UK. Apparently there is a Chinese restaurant in Durham that serves chicken feet during its dimsum hours but I"ve not seen it (probably serves it all before I arrive).
Having eaten Chinese food in various parts of the States, inc. Chinatowns around the US, the US has further to go than the UK to get close to authenticity.
Anyway, we're talking about food in the US and not in the native countries

I've gained about 1/2 stone since arriving Jan 2002 but I'm working hard in the tennis lessons to stop it getting any worse.
