I'd like to try Thai food sometime because I understand it's basically
hot food. Never had any though....yet.

I have no urge for Korean, Japanese or Vietnamese food.

I do still love Chinese food. Mostly the Szechwan hotter foods. One
local restaurant keeps putting menus on my door. I plan to try it
sometime soon. If I do the lunch menu, it's much cheaper.

Anyway, here's my wish list for an order there. Whenever I do this, I'll
call it in for pickup so I don't have to give a generous tip to a
deliverer. I'm cheap .

- 2 spring rolls (not egg rolls)
- 1 quart or pint of hot&sour soup (with fried noodle pack)
- 1 sweet and sour pork (not hot)
- 1 from the hot menu like General Tso's chicken or whatever
- all with fried rice, not plain white rice

This one order will give me a couple of meals and a couple of snacks.
