Chinese Restaurants and other such generalizations / was Saag Paneer

[Guest guest]

Hey, deep breaths, everyone. I don't think one should generalize about

ethnicities or even geographic areas. Chinese restaurants unhygienic? How about

Houston restaurants unhygienic? A little thought about other members of this

group might help, some of whom might be hurt be such generalizations,

stereotyping and what could be mistaken for xenophobia - attitudes which may not

even be restricted to the particular ethnic group which was under discussion.

 

General rule of thumb: If a restaurant is other than upscale, be wary of

buffets, steam tables, etc. any time after the first few minutes that food is

cooked and put out. This is regardless of the cuisine on offer or the location

of the restaurant. Otherwise, one is being foolish, I agree. Mind you, upscale

restaurants have had their share of hygiene scandals over the years, not again

restricted to a particular cuisine or part of the world. Sad but true, eh?

 

Apologies from your moderators, on behalf of the group, to anyone who may have

been offended by this discussion.
