The "Chinese" restaurants in Europe are even worse. Many of them are
run by Vietnamese immigrants, and serve completely bland versions of
the eight or so most common Chinese dishes and often of Thai and
Vietnamese food as well. In London or Paris you have some options, but
the quality of Chinese food in most of Europe is dismal.


I found some real old style Chinese country dishes in Spain, where surprise,
surprise, they also eat 'spare parts' like trotters, tongue etc. anyway..
the people that ran the Chinese restaurant spoke village Fujian which i can
just about manage & had a very good old fashion meal of stewed pork. But of
course.. you need to know & speak the lingo otherwise, you're right the food
is terrible on the menu.
