i just got invited to a chinese buffet place for my friends birthday. i
mentioned before here that i get sick when i eat there. i'm going, but i
will only eat the 'north american' type foods such as ribs, wings(just
breaded; no sauce), shrimp cocktail etc. i'm not touching any of the
'chinese' type foods. no soup.
