Given the Chinese stinky attitudes in the Kingdom Chinky or Ching Chong is all good.
$168? Fuck that! I am no way on the same league as Migo. Most I had ever paid for a meal was $50, that was in South Korea, all you can eat buffet seafood dining on a 12th floor high rise restaurant. Nevermind crabs, it also had fresh lobsters.

The logic is lovelyMiguelito wrote:The Dictionary of Modern Slang says it's ok to describe a restaurant/food, but is offensive to describe people.
So if one calls a Chinese chinky owner a chink chinky, is it only 50% offensive?
I'm trying to be as inoffensive as possible within the parameters allowed by my mental condition.

who knows what depths of depravity we would succumb to if it weren't for Miguelito's unswerving moral compass. had thought it was a brexit compass. with this new info after considerable thought am tending toward a frog compassMiguelito wrote:As a non native British English speaker, I had to look up to see if "Chinky" was offensive or not. I found that:
"After several campaigns by the Scottish Executive, more people in Scotland now acknowledge that this name is indirectly racist. However, the Broadcasting Standards Commission held in 2002, after a complaint about the BBC One programme The Vicar of Dibley, that when used as the name of a type of restaurant or meal, rather than as an adjective applied to a person or group of people, the word carries no racist connotation." (There's a whole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinky]Wiki article on it.)
The Çambridge dictionary thinks it's offensive, but, and this will surprise no one, Nigel Farage defends its use. The Dictionary of Modern Slang says it's ok to describe a restaurant/food, but is offensive to describe people.
So, who am I to overrule the British Broadcasting Standards Commission? I thought I would get this out of the way before the peanut gallery commented. However, I would think that people, even Brits, living in Asian would probably have grown past the use of the word. Meh.
in the process of fucking off to the land of honey and free beer

What about Khmers referred to the Americans as black pepper aka "Ah-merich." Is not that racist?
Speaking of muddies, anyone know where to buy decent sized live mud crabs to take home to cook? Seen them in plenty of seafood restaurants, but can’t say I’ve noticed them in the wet markets (never really looked for them tbh).
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

But Brits do also consider pudding and meat pies a delicacy, support people like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, and choose to live in a country that barely gets above 15 degrees

I'm not British, but I don't think an American should be criticising the "delicacies" of others given the over-processed crap you people call food. I remember being in an expensive cafe near the Capitol, and the waiter didn't even know what a cappuccino was.Miguelito wrote:I don’t know what everybody thinks, but I do know that a number of Brits find it appropriate.reflexline wrote:That was 16 years ago.

Maybe the restaurant mentioned in the OP is run by cannibals from PNG and they have a chinky dish for $168. Overpriced, given the average size of the dish in question.
Brits vs. Yanks over food, LOL
The Brits colonised the world looking for sunshine and spices to add to straw-flavoured 'food'.
