    They finally did it, they finally figured out how to make large burgers that don’t require a ladder, stacks of napkins, a plate, wooden burger sticks, a change of clothes, a bathroom nearby, an ambulance outside, a cardiologist on the phone, and a team of overworked employees to clean the mess you left behind.

    Roujiamo is considered the Chinese equivalent to the Western hamburger and meat sandwiches.[3][4] Roujiamo is considered to be one of the world’s oldest types of hamburgers, since the bread or the “mo” dates back to the Qin dynasty (221–206 BC) and the meat to the Zhou dynasty (1045–256 BC).

      I have bad news friend. Chinese burgers are sooo sweet. The bread is sweet, the sauces are sweet, they pack it full of sweet shit. I don’t know what happened, but they completely fucked up burgers. At least, the many I tried were all extremely sickly sweet and unpalatable. I was there for 5 months and I ate a lot, often at the recommendation of locals.

      I ate two burgers that were not sweet. One at a McDonald’s, one at a bar in Kunming run by a french dude.

      It’s really good! I feel like most of the the people who dislike pineapple on pizza is due to the fact that baking chunks of shitty quality pineapple is pretty bad. But that’s an issue with execution, not concept. Pineapple’s flavour profile, sour and sweet, isn’t inherently antithetical to a pizza. Tomato is also sour, sweet and a fruit. Throwing raw canned tomatoes onto a pre cooked pizza base for 15 mins would suck as well. If it weren’t just a burst of slightly too sweet warm pineapple juice when you bit into it it would be fine. Unfortunately, better quality pineapple and preparing it better would eat into profits and people have already drawn a line in the sand, so it’s beyond salvaging.

    Only problem is that’s at least three meals for me and I am not a little dude.

    Bet it’s delicious though. Even 15ish years ago when I went the food in china was fire.

    Every food I come up in my mind seems to just pop up in china. The civilian portable MRE (that’s not Tactical), wide instead of tall burger.

    Given my gift of prophecy, be on the lookout for ice cream cone shaped street food made out of a bread, filled with savoury ingredients
