Answers:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a wonderful compliment to you!!

She is right - the US stuff is NOT THE SAME.

Think about it this way -- in China, they might consider "American Food", cheeseburgers & fries or pizza. BUT, if you had the opportunity to cook for a friend while you were in China, wouldn't you probably cook a favoritd dish of yours - maybe a recipe handed down from your Mom? And who knows what that might be - certainly NOT what they would be expecting.

ENJOY & HAVE FUN!! If I could, I would trade places with you in a heartbeat - I love to experience other cultures.

Other Answers:
It's probably like pizza -- the Italian version isn't the same as what we have in the U.S. Give it a try, you may love it...if nothing else, someone's giving you a free meal so you can't complain (even if it has something to do with fish eyeballs).

braze yourself! I have a chinese co worker and everytime I tryed her food I had to be honest I didn't liked it. All Chinese don't eat off the Chinese food restaurant menu, like all Mexicans don't eat taco bell continuously

American "chinese food" is prepared to please a mass market. I'm sure what you get will be fresher, tastier and more interesting. Think about if you went to China, where their idea of "American food" is a Big Mac, and you cooked someone there a real steak on the grill.

That's what it'll be like. Unless she's a crappy cook!

bon appetit!

Most of the chinese restaurants in New York serve an entirely different genre of food than in China. In the US, most Chinese restaurants are take-out/fast food joints, most items are fried/laden with sugary sauces. Authentic Chinese food is much more diverse than that. In Northern China, where wheat reigns supreme, noodle dishes, steamed buns and dumplings are common. In Sichuan, spicy is the name of the game. Cantonese cuisine tends to involve more stir-frying and sweeter sauces than the north. It's hard to predict what kind of dinner you're going to end up having, it'll depend on which region of China she's from. One thing is for sure though, it's gonna be different from and better (if she's a good cook!) than your regular fare from Mr. Chow's next door. You will defenitily be having some dogs and cats (meow).

pork,frog and all the animal's innards!!~

Lucky you.

Most Americans confine themselves to a very limited menu when it comes to Chinese food, even if they are in a place like NYC Chinatown where there are thousands of choices. That's what she's talking about.

Also, there are some dishes that seem specifically designed for non-Chinese tastes, like General Tso's Chicken or anything that pairs sweet flavors with meat.

And you can ignore any bozo that tells you it's going to be dog or cat or whatever. Even if this were possible, what sort of host invites you over for food that will make you feel uncomfortable?

She means that the chinese food you get in NY has been "americanized" and does not represent how food is actually prepared in China.

Go and enjoy.
