German food is up there with English food imo lol..
People shit on the Vancouver food scene but Jesus Christ, going from Germany - Ireland - Balkans, no exaggeration a 5 minute walking radius from my house has more variety than all those countries combined

I say that to keep friends and family from wAndering why I don't eat seafood. Crustaceans, as far as I'm concerned, are insects of the sea, lol. Arthropods are so creepy. Anyway, when I'm at a chinese banquet, I sit with an empty plate until the beef arrives. Friends and family know I don't eat seafood, so they give me first crack as soon as any beef, chicken, or pork dishes come out. I stay away from anything that smells like....................
Anyway ........... yeah, I'm allergic to seafood.
BTW, does anyone else see the word ass when they see the thread title? $$$ Yes, I need help.

I loved it there - classic German food. On pork hock night the place was packed with old Chinese people looking for a deal on salty as fuck pork hock. I loved the "Bavarian Meat Loaf" (Leberkasse) and their sausages were delicious.

Have ate there quite a few times and they actually offer much more than in Germany, their quality is also pretty high if not higher than a lot of actual “German” restaurants in Germany imo. They had great Spetzl and stews
Think they are getting redeveloped though for a new tower and being allotted some space in the new build?

Stinky seafood means poor quality and/or poorly prepared seafood.
I used to hate seafood as a kid, I remember my parents overcooking the shit out of old frozen fish out of the freezer and stinking up the house.
It wasn't until my late 20's when I started actively fishing and preparing it myself that I really started to enjoy it. Fish that's been out of the water less than a few hours (and not overcooked) is freaking amazing, there's no "fishy flavour" or "fishy smell" whatsoever.
From my July fishing trip this year, all the seafood on the plate was not out of the ocean for more than 4 hours (although admittedly my dad overcooked the salmon a bit more than I like it, my job was the prawns):

Even if you're not Asian, to say a 10 course banquet meal is trash seems hilarious to me. | I recently went to a 100 days party at a Chinese restaurant, 8ish course meal.
Needless to say, I wasn't a fan. I passed on a ton of dishes 
It was funny watching the non-asian guests at the party doing the same -- white dudes pretending to be "full" or "not hungry"
Paid my dues nonetheless though.

That's just it... even dukes wedding?? I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything, but I wasn't going to tick off the special needs box on his invite and force him to pay to make some other dish for my ass and then have it come out all separate at the table and be a spectacle... been there, done that, no thanks... just quietly dish off my portions to others at the table and drink LOL

I’m into anything, I was eating octopus and urchin today, the banquet food just isn’t good. Not to mention the heinous shark fin

Man it was awful, I felt like an idiot.
All the asians were munching out, and I'm sitting over here smashing the bottle of Casamigos on the table while looking indignantly at each course of slimy-looking food carted out onto the lazy susan | |

I’ve went to 2-10 course Chinese weddings this year. It’s just really not that good. Lol. Next time I think I will take the advice and eat first haha. I’ll try anything once, now make that twice.
Question though, these Asian weddings are new for me… what’s with the Hennessy? Is that a thing, or just random coincidence bith weddings had cognac at the table? The last wedding I went to had a $350 bottle at each table. Bit over the top.
Made a very quick last minute trip to Greece last week for a wedding (local wedding). It wasn’t fancy at all, buffet style but was the best damn wedding food I’ve ever had. Hahaha. Wine was shit, beer was shit… but that food.

okay... so what i'm gathering is... I'm just an asian guy who's hyping up asian food that he's grown up eating and adores and appreciates. Versus a bunch of guys who don't like said asian food because it doesn't suit their palate.
I'm okay with that.

It's okay to not like certain cuisines or dishes since we all have our preferences. But choosing the word 'trash' to describe an entire genre of cuisine feels insensitive and disrespectful IMO, especially to a group where some here enjoy them.

I'm sure whoever said "trash" didn't mean to offend anyone, it's just how the sentence spilled out
I swear people in Vancouver need de-sensitivity training, or need to hang around a bunch of Germans with 0 filter for a week

Most people there aren’t sophisticated enough to appreciate/understand fine wine, but they’ve seen a bottle of Henny before and they know it costs $$$

I can't help but feel that you guys are looking to host a RS Trash Food Meet @ Uncle Willy's. Hondaracer better show up.

The last wedding I went to had a $350 bottle at each table. Bit over the top. | The preferred alcohol for Vietnamese people is Henny LOL. I'm too lazy to quote but I'm also slightly allergic to shellfish (airway gets tense, lose sense of taste, feel sick, etc), but at a banquet or dimsum I'll eat it.
After we finished eating, most of us were pretty drunk by then and so were all the Viet uncles lmao. Sun Sui Wah had a solid dance floor. The DJ that my friends picked was solid as well.
To be fair tho, this is the first wedding (that's not a COVID wedding) I've been to for my own friend group. So I'm probably not as sick of it as you guys.
Also - Din Tai Fung is trash.
