How is American Chinese food different from the food people actually eat in China?

Answer 1

Most American "Chinese" is really Cantonese style. Typical Chinese or Mandarin cooking is hardly ever represented. OH! and forget about the fortune cookie, they don't exist!

Answer 2

Things have been changed to the American tastes such as Sweet and sour in America should just be called sweet - there is hardly any sour! Over in Beijing, it is sweet, but not overly so, but it also has a nice sour tang to it.
Many of the other differences come in from that very few dishes from most regions are represented, the rice they use here is different, oils they use are different, and it is harder to come by some of the needed ingredients.
In short, after being in Taiwan and China, I can no longer stomach most Americanized Chinese food. If I want to eat it here, I make it myself.
