Westerners are ignorant. What a shocker.
Lol “westerners” is such a broad group of people that this comment makes you look ignorant.

Although Chinese food is pretty diverse, I don’t want to be that foreigner who travels to that one small village in the middle of bumfuck China where they serve a village delicacy of virgin piss eggs.
virgin piss eggs
I’m genuinely confused what you’re imagining here, but I’m going to guess it’s probably not a real food
I don’t remember the vid title, but there is a video on Bilibili of a Chinese national who does things like food reviews who actually went to this very remote place to investigate and try one of the eggs.
I’ll have to try and either find it, or a yt reupload.
Edit:
Here is a video in Chinese of someone from Hong Kong trying them.

It’s also generally healthier than american food I would assume
I think this mostly has to do with the extensive use of vegetables cooked in various tasty ways. Western dishes (specifically West European) seem to have very few good techniques to cook vegetables, leading white children to hate veggies. I think this is exacerbated in Britain and their Anglo-Saxon colonies (cue the meme about British food having no seasoning).
Also, proper Asian dishes tend not to actually use much oil. Stir frying only lightly coats the outside of food with oil, very different from western deep frying.
Chinese food is so good and diverse. I had this spicy white fish dish once in Guangdong that was just incredible, I think about it often lol, can’t remember what it was called
That being said there is something about american chinese food that makes me crave it from time to time (probably all the salt and sugar)
