American Chinese food

No, i don't set any standard at all, just suggesting that cuisenes that are not natural to country, are seen by different establised tastes..............................................No need to get angry there Vinny!

Not angry, strauss. I don't see what made you think I was. I thought I was answering your question to the extent it's answerable.

no standard at all

See, I don't see how you can answer a question like "it seems to me that the general public in the US is not into sort of different strong tastes. Am I wrong?" without some standard that you're comparing the general public in the US to. I think the first step in answering a question like that is to ask "Compared to what?" I think perhaps you're (maybe unconsciously) comparing US food to the food in other countries you've traveled in.

I think one of the problems here is that the most popular truly American food and that which gets to other countries is often served bland. McDonalds being a perfect example. So people get the idea that we eat mush. If you ate hamburgers at my house, you wouldn't find them so bland.
