That was me as Anon D
In all seriousness China has invented Plastic Rice as a substitute for a more expensive rice
Research has shown that certain rice factories in China have been producing a “fake rice substitute” in place of the popular and more expensive Wuchang rice, for greater profit. According to the Korean Times, this food fraud is being created using a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and synthetic resin (plastic).
Chinese people in China apparently have a screwed up sense of taste buds - To often they have turned their cuisine into a Tex Mex form and the level of Chile peppers overwhelms dem buds

Of course not. In Beijing the smog is so thick you cannot even see the food on your dish.
In Beijing rodents and insects are the cuisine tour de jour.

I chart Bert's Quality of Life Index primarily by which fast food restaurants he visits.
Things haven’t been this rosy since he ate at Qdoba’s once in 2009.

Dang - Drove past one of those south of me. Had no clue what it was. Now I see Jack and the Box owns them -
Also a Judge decided a Burrito is not related to a sandwich and ruled against Pandera
So Anon I is Qdoba worth a visit?
