Chinese food in Europe is generally pretty bland and tailored to the older generations who can't handle heat and don't like foreign spices. I've never been to China, but I've heard you can't really call it "Chinese".

Compare it to Thai food, which is usually a lot more authentic, which is liked a lot more on the chart here.

British "Chinese" "food" is an abomination in particular

Case in point: the spice bag.

Although spice bags are the perfect food for being drunk at 2AM, and the pinnacle of Irish cuisine for that reason.

There's a very good reason Thai food is usually very authentic. Most Thai restaurants are established and partially funded by the Thai government.

It's part of a campaign to improve the image of Thailand.
