"To begin with, 'chow mein' (not to mention 'fried rice') does not exist anywhere in China, either in their kitchens or in their lexicons. To append the adjective 'Chinese' (or 'Chinees') to this unholy mess is insulting enough." Actually, Suraiya is wrong on at least this front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow_mein "Chow mein (chao mian in Mandarin-speaking communities) is a generic Chinese term for a dish of stir-fried noodles, of which there are many varieties." Thaths -- Homer: Look at these low, low prices on famous brand-name electronics! Bart: Don't be a sap, Dad. These are just crappy knockoffs. Homer: Pfft. I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's a Magnetbox and Sorny.
