> I can eat very very bad, even stinky Chinese food

Hi, I’m a Chinese person. WTF do you mean by this? Are you seriously saying you love Chinese food (also what do you mean, Chinese food? What provinces? What regions?) when it’s shit? You’ll happily eat stale bao, rotten meat dumplings, moldy rice? What is “stinky”: durian? Something else?

Sorry if this came out as insensitive. I've never been to China. By Chinese food I mean food that is available in Chinese restaurants in Europe where I live. By bad Chinese food I mean food that isn't fresh, that's dry, that has obviously been reheated more than once. I don't mean rotten exactly (although it can happen).

While I can understand the irritation, the tone of your response seems excessive for someone talking about food.
