Yeah, the "K" does have more of a "G" sound in Cantonese.

It is in East Tennessee. According to my local Chinese buffet, so are pizza, chicken McNuggets, and Little Debbies.  |

It is in East Tennessee. It is all over the US. So is sweet and sour chicken. I have yet to find that in any menu in my Chinese travels! |

I am admittedly southern-fried to my core, but I've found that the best ethnic foods are imitations. Sweet & sour chicken vs. real Chinese. Tex/Mex vs. real Mexican. Etc... An obvious exception to that is Italian, which our spinoffs do not imitate well at all.  |

An obvious exception to that is Italian, which our spinoffs do not imitate well at all. Chinese I'd agree, but likely the Chinese won't. Don't agree with you on Mexican, real Mexican food is much better than the crap you get at Chi chis. Italian is the same, but Americans like meat, so they had to add more meat to Italian stuff. |

The lady I worked with taught me to make some Chinese dishes many of them use noodles and vegetables and very little meat. The noodles are usually a "spaghetti" analogue (most made with a combination of regular and rice flour)....carrots, celery, chinese cabbage (which is not bok choy or savoy cabbage), and some very thin sliced water chestnuts (which are considered a dellicacy by some in China but not by others - very regional cooking preferences)....and usually chicken or pork except for seaside areas where it is pork and seafood. |
