That’s heresy not only to Chinese but also US pieties ascribing what Americans eat.

I adore pizza. My 4-year-old recently told me it’s her “favorite Chinese food”.

(She has only eaten it in Beijing.)

Lily also loves chicken feet.

Her preferences are personal and cultural.

She has individual tastes. Like I do. Like Chinese do.

Like everyone does.

There’s more than just culture to explain why certain people love or hate brains, burgers, bats and steak.

It’s more often than we realize a matter of individual taste.
