Jews went 1062 years without Chinese food

[angryChineseKahanist]

According to the Jewish calendar, the year is 5749.
According to the Chinese calendar, the year is 4687.
That means for 1,062 years, the Jews went without Chinese food.

(The years are off because it's an old joke)
5768 vs 4705

......and as soon as they got some they were hungry an hour later.

[Trumpeldor]

Right Newman!
 I don't eat chinese food very much but... why do you get hungry very fast afterward?

Not eating enough rice with it  is the problem. I never get hungry after because I eat tonnes of rice. a proper diet should be mostly carbohydrates (rice, pasta, bread), then vegetables with meat as a last priority.

Most chinese resteraunts don't serve enough rice with the meal.

No.

I can't stand the idea of not having heaps of toast with my bacon & eggs. And there's no way I could eat curry without rice or stew without mashed potato.

Then again I've got a gut but I ascribe that to insufficient exercise. If humans lived traditionally (farming/labouring from dawn 'til dusk) we'd collapse without lots of carbohydrates. Carbo's are also brain food. Without them it's hard to concentrate or study.

I think that's a bit of an urban legend, but it does make sense in that you're eating a combination of very starchy food (rice) and very high-sugar food (sauces like sweet and sour).  Your blood sugar soars, and then an hour or two later it starts coming down and your body thinks "dropping blood sugar - better signal hunger!"

As I said before, The Chinese were around before The Jews. The Jewish year count is from Creation of Man. The Chinese year count is only from the beginning of China counting from the mythical Yellow Emperor who is said to be the ancestor of all Chinese people. The Chinese Creation story involving Pangu actually is many years before the Chinese year count.

Cool

Well, I don't eat out much period. I don't like restaurants and especially HATE fast food places because 1. I don't trust the employees and 2. Its unhealthy. This goes for all types of restaurants, not just Chinese.
So I have to make my own Chinese so I don't have to worry about greasiness, high sugar or starchiness etc
.
In my opinion from my past experience of getting Chinese (when I used to get take-out), first you get really REALLY thirsty for like half a day, then you feel hungry.

Common among corner Chinese take-outs is MSG.  That's what
makes you so thirsty. In those tiny joints the main
ingredients are MSG, salt, sugar, soy sauce, and starch.
I don't have MSG at home at all.

Since when Chinese food is Kosher? Are there special Kosher Chinese restaurants??

Forest Hills, Queens, NY, a big Jewish neighborhood, is lined with Kosher Chinese restaurants.
I sometimes go to a Kosher vegetarian Chinese restaurant. It's on 5 Mott St, New York, NY. Its full of Jews.
That's where I sometimes see oriental looking Jews.

Since the chinese use chopsticks to eat rice, do they use two sticks to shovel coal or dirt?

[angryChineseKahanist]

Maybe the Chinese are one of the lost tribes?

No, they come from the Gentile children of Abraham and Keturah who were sent to The East by Abraham with gifts.

Very interesting. So, instead of the Chinese being a lost Jew tribe, a tribe of Jews got lost in China.
So that's why we're both labeled as cheapskates.
