Great research and excellent narration!
I love your videos, very informative.
This episode reminds me of the TV series "Warrior" which depicts the hardship of Chinese immigrants when they first came to the US
I have to check out that show!
If I was forced to eat that muck, I'd riot too.
The detainees ended up just eating a lot of rice. 😬
@@AmericanChineseFoodShow long term detention in terrible conditions, and on top of that you're underfed.
I am eating red rice mixed with white as I am watching this! LOL!!!
Haha, we eat brown rice mixed with white jasmine at home too!
@TastingHistory please try to recreate the dishes
better yet, if this channel made it I would love to watch!!!
do you think you’ll make a video about fortune cookies someday? (or do you already have one?)
Absolutely yes! The research is ready, I've just been thinking about how to make the episode more fun.
