Well, in Chinatown here in Philly there are a lot of restaurants where the menus are in two languages. In most of them you have American-friendly foods side by side with what we consider exotic. A case in point are the dim sum places where you can have steamed dumplings or steamed chickens feet.

No, I didn't try any.

I did try oriental style beef brisket. It definitely wasn't like mom used to make. What I didn't like was the way it was cut, with the fatty layer sandwiched between the meat.

I won't do tripe or head cheese (brains), but I do like to try different seasonings, styles, and types of noodles. When I was a kid in the 60's, all you could find was Cantonese food. Now almost every province in China and most of the rest of Asia is represented by a restaurant in major cities.

There are almost too many choices. Lately I've been going to an Indian lunch buffet about once a month in Frazer. Tandoor chicken and Gulab Jamun for dessert.
