Finally had Kung Pao Chicken today, and it wasn’t spicy at all. What the fuck. The chicken wasn’t bad but it just smelled like peanuts and was not good overall as a full meal. But the main thing is, I’ve heard it’s super spicy and it wasn’t just not really spicy, it wasn’t even a little spicy. Is this typical or just the shitty chinese place I got it from?
>>2167161299% of everything that is advertised as spicy is in fact not spicy.
>>21671616but it’s usually at least a little spicy, or has a kick to it. This just tasted like salty I guess
Depends where you get it. The more "authentic" chinese version (gong bao ji ding) is usually made with a good amount of dried peppers so it can be pretty spicy, but it varies from place to place. More American/gwei lo places will obviously tone down the spice.
speaking of kung pao any OG's remember this fucking banging ass frozen prep dinner?
>>21671612There's no Kung Pao Chicken certification authority. China has lots of regional varieties, along with versions adapted for western countries. The kung pao you had isn't necessarily the same as what the writers on the show were inspired by.
They obviously used their extra mild sauce for white people
>>21671773But George wants his chicken spicy
>>21671791*likes
>>21671821i was just testing you
>>21671612okay mr steinbrenner
we can learn a lot from george
chinese won't do spicy beyond italian crushed red pepper, which are only decent fresh (they're never fresh)
>>21672319>this desert..>is making these pretzels into wagon wheels
>>21671826do it again
>>21671826>>21673662This. I'd love to be tested. I'm such a Seinfeld dork I made quizzes for my friends in high school; would have been around season 7. Almost 30 years ago.
>>21673016Anyone remember a really old commercial for "wagon wheels" as a snack of cheese and crackers? It may have been more of a public service announcement. Had that 70s style animation like the Tootsie Pop owl commercial. I must still have it saved on an old hard drive somewhere.
>>21673679yeah they did a family guy of that where he smokes crackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpbTV8CgzG4
