General Tso's chicken is more like candy than meal food to me. Also, whenever I ask for WHITE rice, I get that yellow pork fried crap. I'm sorry, maybe you didn't understand my order, or would you like me to tape the damn rice kernels directly to my ass instead of ingesting them? I really wish more Chinese delivery places around here would make with the "secret" menu.

In Amherst, though, when I lived there? Fuck, I was like the ex-nun at Spring Break, man. Growing up, there was no such thing as delivery. It was an orchard town, you wanted something delivered, you called your friend and said "Hey, you wanna come over? Oh, on your way, you mind picking up some steak bombs and root beer? Yeah, I'll pay you back ..."
First thing I discovered in Amherst was Delicious Deliveries, which delivered fresh-baked cookies in a pizza box, milk, and Ben and Jerry's. Got addicted to that, especially when I was stuck in the dorms that first year. After I got my apartment, I found Delivery Express, one of those places that picks up food from restaurants that don't usually deliver and brings it to you for a few extra bucks. Wooyah. I had kids to take care of at the time, so not having to cook was a bigger luxury than it's been since, and the novelty of delivery hadn't worn off yet.

The only thing I can think of that would incite their "anger" was that it was snowing and that my address is a bit hard to find (it's surrounded by several one way streets and it's a bit of a maze to get into.) My guess is the delivery people got lost and then took it out on us. I know I should have called and complained, and it kind of still bugs me to this day!

La Porchetta for pizza, but you have to go pick those up.Kaitan for maki rolls - it's a sushi place that does just maki, right across the street.Thai food from the pub downstairs.Salt and chilli ribs from Royal Inn across the street as consumed earlier this evening. It's the only thing I ever order from them.Felafel from Top Nosh, plus the occasional chicken escalope in pitta with salad.

Top 3 delivery complaints ever:
3. place that sends delivery guy out without change on a total of like $31, so that he stands there shrugging and non-English-speaking and eventually you have to just give him $40
2. place that does the same thing AGAIN, so that this time you give him $30 and $1.50 in quarters, because that's all the change you have and you're not giving him $40 again just because they keep doing this, and now you have to feel bad for stiffing the guy but what were you supposed to do, and then to top it all off when you open the bag they forgot your drink
1. place that does the same thing A THIRD TIME, even after you called them last time and complained about it
― nabisco, Thursday, 27 September 2007 00:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I see your point shasta but scallion pancakes are pretty ubiquitous in China and not are not really identified as originating from any particular region, I would especially not claim that they are associated with Taiwan cuisine moreso than any other Chinese regional cuisine
;)
― ⚖ on my truck (dyao), Thursday, 10 June 2010 06:42 (fourteen years ago) link
IME, they are on every menu at Taiwanese restaurants in the USA/Japan/Singapore/Malaysia. Whereas you are far less likely to find them on the menus of other Chinese cuisines... totally IME.

str8 lollin @ the chinese wiki for scallion pancake the majority of which is dedicated to:
"Relationship with pizza
An interesting argument that the Italian -style pie , that pizza , most likely evolved by the Green onion pancake. Said that Marco Polo lived in China, the most favorite North Green onion pancake, after returning home unable to get, but I do not know how to cook. Later, finally found one willing to try the Naples chefs , but the production is not a simple Green onion pancake, had proposed filling on the dough, the baked food, the plan has been praised everyone. The chef will then return to Naples in Naples, accompanied by bread cheese and other ingredients, and create a unique pizza taste. [1]However, studies now show in Europe, whether pie or a pizza , not Marco Polo brought back from China, but far away in the Marco Polo was born there before the food in the Mediterranean region [2] [3] [4] [ 5] , so Pisa should Greece or Mesopotamia region invention [6] : The first is covered in pizza, thousands of years ago in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East already well-known cheese, at that time not yet Chinese people know. In addition, pizza "pizza" the etymology of the word can also be traced back to Marco Polo was born 250 years before 997 AD, found in southern Italy in a Gaeta Latin literature [7] . All the evidence suggests that "from China" argument is a myth."

and anyway if you're eating at chinese restaurants that specialize in regional Chinese cuisine then yeah, you're probably not gonna find scallion pancakes cause it's such a common dish, an example of what the Chinese call 家常菜. no idea why taiwanese people be claimin it, always stealin Chinese things imo, just like all those stolen cultural relics they got in that palace museum ripoff they got goin in taipei. IMO. :D

it's a realization i kinda came to a while back when i was readin this thread about chinese pps on another message board, the group talking on there was like half white half se asian, and the white pps were all like making fun of the lil old asian ladies who sell scallion pancakes or whatever and all the white pps were REALLY (rearry) getting into it, like really leaping at the chance to pile onto china ppl, and the azns started fuming and piped in all like YO THOSE OLD LADIES MAKE MAD BANK THEY ARE THE JEWS OF ASIA but the most salient point they made, that really stuck with me, was when they were like MAYBE IT'S EASIER TO PICK ON THE CHINKS CUZ YOU'RE ALL AFRAID OF NIGGERS (i am literally quoting here this isnt me being funny okay guys dont SB me for that) - and that rang pretty true imo, like i think what happens is ppl are so pent-up w/unconscious resentment about not getting to unleash the RaHoWa fury on the more premium races, that when more socially acceptable targets present themselves they REALLY go overboard piling onto them fools - that's why fats are the most miserable and degraded of any group in america today, they are everyone's punching bag

Well we have to discuss the two types of scallion pancakes. There's the brown and crispy deep-fried variety, which are nice, but then there's the chewy doughy pan-fried variety that is SUPER DUPER A+. My local takeout place (Mr. Rice, wtf) has the pan fried ones and they call them "Chinese pizza". And yeah, I've made them before--v simple!! But I can't get the hang of the amazing dipping sauce.
