I REALLY hope the Chinese restaurants in the west aren't using this stuff.
The highlight was the woman at the beginning smiling in glee because she'd managed to dig up some turds.
I normally love Asian food however, there are some places that leave me wondering because their food tastes so funky compared to other Chinese places and they get in trouble with the state health department more than other restaurants. I still love Asian food though. I just make sure I find a restaurant that tastes good and avoid the ones that have a weird, underlying taste to their dishes. Happy House is the worst offender imo.
I am assuming the gutter oil type of oil would be really low quality and it would show up in the way the food tastes. It would leave a slightly rancid taste to the food, similar to what dirty oil that needs to be changed out leaves so if the food has the rancid oil taste, don't eat it. Other restaurants, especially fast food, have it in their french fries at times, It means the restaurant is not doing what it should, keeping things clean enough. Bad sign, generally, and with all the restaurants out there, it's real easy to just switch to a better one. If enough people do that, the bad ones will go out of business.
