OT: Chinese buffet

I ate dinner at a Chinese buffet earlier. The food might be "Americanized," but that is actually of little importance to me.

A long time ago I was eating at a Chinese buffet in, if I remember correctly, Norfolk, VA. There was a man that was picking the beef out of the beef and broccoli.

Well, I think if he wants just wants the meat and not the broccoli, what he needs to go to someplace like Outback or Black Angus steakhouse.

Or even of he went to the Chinese buffet because his wife or children wanted to go there, and he wanted to go to a steakhouse, I am pretty sure that that restaurant had a "Mongolian barbecue" setup where you could get meat, broccoli florets, bean sprouts, and whatever else you want, then they stir-fry it for you. He could have gone to that and got just the beef.

It is somewhat "rude" (I just cannot think of a better word) to leave those people, such as myself, that happen to like the combination of beef/broccoli with just broccoli, especially when there is the option of getting just beef, which is apparently what he wanted.

Most people, including myself, probably prefer the beef, so it would not be "as bad" if he were picking out the broccoli and leaving just the beef, but I am pretty sure the "Mongolian BBQ" station had just broccoli florets (every one I have been to has had them), so he had that option as well if he wanted just the broccoli.

I have never understood people who do things like that either. Though I ha ve eaten with a few people who engage in such picky buisness because they l ike the way the part they are eating comes out when cooked in a given dish, but they do not like the rest of it. I generally dislike buffets in general because I am a vegetarian. However w hen we were traveling a bit for business we discovered that it you go to a Chinese restaurant and tell the waitstaff, tell chef Buddhist cuisine for 2 please. You get a ton of good food with no animal products in it.

Hello Brian and Night Mist, Most of the Chinese type eating places are small in my town, so I pick out the pork or beef in any of these recipes because I do not eat either one. I love the fried rice but it does have small amounts of pork. Sandy$

Well Sandy, we should go eat together because I eat about 2 tablespoons of the beef or vegetables, but not the rice! Barbara in SC
