Go to a Chinese restaurant and order Egg Foo Young.<\/p>\n
A lot of Sunday nights I tend to hang out at the Flying Saucer until about 9:15 in the evening. Then I tab out and hurry to Wang’s so I can order drunk to-go food before Wang’s closes at 9:30.<\/p>\n
Well, last night I decided I was in the mood for egg foo young. Which is odd because I HATED eggs growing up – I absolutely refused to eat them. But recently, I’ve developed a taste for them when in omelets, frittatas and similar dishes. So I went to Wang’s and ordered shrimp egg foo young.<\/p>\n
And immediately, all the servers and the bartender cracked up laughing.<\/p>\n
Apparently egg foo young isn’t a REAL Chinese dish. I kind of knew this already… the “fake” Chinese dishes, including egg foo young, chow mein, and chop suey, are relegated to a tiny corner of the menu. It appears that it’s a sign that when someone orders one of these, that they don’t appreciate “real” Chinese food.<\/p>\n
So I let the staff have a laugh at my expense. Really, I didn’t mind. Usually I order from the regular part of the menu, with the Garlic Chicken\/Shrimp and the Sha Cha Chicken\/Shrimp among my favorites. (My favorite blogger\/MILF likes the Sha Cha Chicken too. If we ever meet in person I have no doubt we’ll get along very well, as long as we don’t discuss pro football.) It just so happened that last night, I was hungry for Egg Foo Young.<\/p>\n
The great thing about Wang’s is that you always get enough food for two meals, so I have leftovers in the fridge. Not sure how good leftover Egg Foo Young is going to be, though.<\/p>\n
