We had all kinds of fresh sprouts. My mom grew them. But for Chinese food
it was either out of a can or whatever "Family Style" meal we could get in a
restaurant. Turns out those particular foods are foods that I do not like.
Overall I would have to say that I don't like Chinese food. But there are a
few dishes that I do like and those are never included with those family
meals.
