  1. I would say.... Chinese, Thai, and Italian cuisine are just about on the same level. Then, probably Indian. Japanese food would be way behind Irish food.
  2. Nope.... This is just TOO Passive-Aggressive...for me. I would NEVER do that, either. Just walk away..... Pay up, and walk away. Also, follow my three rules.... In China, eat nothing but Chinese food. In Thailand, eat nothing but Thai food. On the MainLine...then GORGE on Reubens, and plenty of other Deli Food. You can't go wrong. And, I have NEVER sent anything back....in my entire life....TRUE.... (no need)
  3. I recall the Reuben. I love DELI food. i NEVER send it back to the chef, either. Last time I was at Hymie's, must have been..... The Summer of 1969. Great food at Hymie's. I once lived near Merion, so Hymie's was, thankfully, close by. No Way you will get this food in Thailand. Better just have a Panang-Gai, instead. Eat Chinese food in China. Thai food in Thailand. Deli food in NYC, or in Philly.... How much would it cost to fly one of these Reubens over here, do you think? PLEASE Note: If you stick by these rules, then you will have far less need to send anything back. Chinese in China Thai in Thailand Deli in NYC and Philly. It's worked for me, for sure...
  4. Yes. This is the way to go. Agree.
  5. Re-heating might not be tasty. Better ask for a completely new steak. (And, ask for the under-cooked failure to be put in a doggy bag, for your dog.)
  6. NO WAY I would ever send this back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since the year, 1979, I have never sent back something like this. Unheard of !!!!!
  7. Has anyone here ever heard about.....Loss of Face...in Asia? Sending food back to the chef....would....definitely be... Construed by all at the restaurant as Loss of Face for the chef. Why would you ever DO that???? Boggles the mind. Just feign an upset stomach, ...pay....., and then leave. No need for you to ever return to the same restaurant. ========= Or, what about eating at a noodle shop? And then.... You complain: My Noodle is too soft. Would you not then be the laughing stock of the entire noodle shop? Or... Dear Chef, My noodle is not LONG enough. Please take it back! Ridiculous, really. Never seen, in all my born days, anyone in Asia return food to the chef. Someday, maybe.... I will live to see the day....
  8. I agree. When I order food spicy, but it's not HOT enough... Then I complain. And then, the chef gives me more chili. Nothing worse than food which is not hot enough...IMHO.
  9. I have, actually, never had a bad meal in China. But then, I have never eaten from the gutter in China, either. I recall a nice meal of Suckling Lamb in Dalian.... It was so very good, that i would never have given it up...until the last bite. However, in Dalian, if I had sent my food back to the chef, in that particular restaurant, then, in effect, I would have just been ordering ... A Hawaiian Punch.... I have, also, almost never had a bad meal in Thailand. I once bought something bad (just one time) from a street vendor near Lang Mo..... Took one bite, then chucked the rest out the back of the Rot Deng. Honestly, I have had ZERO experience being served a meal that was not wonderful, whether it be in China, Thailand, or Taiwan. One time, I had a bad meal in HK, but then....I was not so stupid as to send it back to the chef......!!!!!! What.... Do you REALLY think that I am that NUTZO? Sending food back......!!!!??? And, where do you think you ARE....anyway.....? The Vatican City?
  10. I already stated: I NEVER, EVER send food back to the kitchen, in Asia. I have NEVER, EVER done this... In over 45 years. Too late for me to learn new tricks, from newcomer Farang, on TV, I guess.....
  11. a. Omelete's are delivered, 20 boxes per delivery. b. Flour, Rice, Extra-Virgin Spanish olive oil,....Lotus. c. Chicken breasts...Lotus d. Tuna...TOPS.....GREAT QUALITY....IMHO e. Pigeons: I have already ordered the Havahart Trap. Maybe TWO per DAY, would not be an over-estimation of what I will catch.
  12. Amazing. You are a lover of Twain, twain (too).
  13. You meant to say that Thailand does not have the same hangups as other nations. Because, it's almost impossible to compare Thais to a country, since Thais are people, and countries are countries. I have never noticed that Thai people are promiscuous, however.
  14. Tuna: One can per day Omelet: One 5-egg omelet per day Chicken breast: Two per day, but only cooked in my oven, using fresh breasts. Rice: A lot of rice, steamed in my steamer. Bread: Not too much, but only what I bake myself. What could possibly go wrong? I have never sent back food to the cook, in a restaurant. If I do not like what I am served, then I pay and leave. But, I probably would NOT walk away from a Panang-Gai...
  15. Yes. It means absolutely NOTHING to have a Nobel Laureate teaching you first-year Physics....and it meant absolutely nothing to me. I guess. Most students here have probably never even heard of the Ig Nobel Prize...after all.... We are existing here in one of the most well-known academic backwaters of the world. And, we LIKE it like this...too!
  16. Right! And, as we ALL know.... A criterium is a one-day bicycle race on a circuit road course. Round and Round they go... Where they end up.... Nobody knows.
  17. F=ma.... I guess. But, who really cares, these days?
  18. So...then.... Almost on a par with Harvard.... Just as I suspected.... Tuition not the same, however.
  19. Maybe...off the charts. Can't find on USNEWS listings....
  20. Not shameful...but....substandard.... https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/articles/methodology Harvard should be at the very BOTTOM, of course.... I am NOT surprised by UWASH...!!!!!! Most do not know the excellence of this school, however..... I would never go there, if you paid me.
  21. No. It's a ratler
  22. I exhale CO2.... Which is....SOMETHING.....
  23. When Earth becomes just another Venus, you will be the first to know.....
