Of course.  Although I have my doubt about the crab-cheese
appetizers at my local Chinese joint.

Seems to me that crab cheese appetizers, egg rolls and spring rolls were
on the list at Sysco.

I've seen those on the menu at non-ethnic restaurants.  People
like them, they're cheap to buy and cook, and they can charge --
relatively speaking, a lot of money for them.

Most of the things Dave listed were not ethnic, so I figured
we weren't talking about ethnic restaurants.  If you consider
Italian not to be ethnic.  And taking into account how far most
North American restaurants are from real Italian food, it really
isn't.

If you go to a NA Italian restaurant run by an Italian would it not be
as Italian as a NA Chinese restaurant is Chinese?

C'mon, Dave.  Marinara from Sysco doesn't make a restaurant Italian,
no matter whose name is on it.
