Who are these people?
I think a lot of exaggeration happens. 2025 summer mcdknals in Canada it was I think 11 bucks for a big Mac set (fries and syrup based drink). A big problem with US/Canada is that tips and taxes take a huge toll on prices. Something fast food doesn’t yet have. Though in Canada even liquor stores started asking for tips…which was either cute or insulting. Not sure which yet
Don’t do it 
Only a stupid asshole would call me such a person, just saying
Good thing there ain’t no stupid assholes on this site 
When did Japan get caught for food contamination issues?
Ma you ji.
Does anyone actually like this?
I’ve eaten it numerous times. I don’t get it. tough chicken in some bland ass ‘ma you’ (black sesame oil) flavour soup.
The flavour of the ‘ma you’ is pretty unique but not exactly in a good way. I’d put it up there with the worst or at least most overrated of Taiwanese foods.
For those who think the food here isn’t good, let’s have a little chutzpah for a moment. Typical fast food would be dismissed as “goyslop” by me—and by many people here or elsewhere. I’m not even talking about things like mac and cheese or instant mashed potatoes, which are considered aggressively goyish and borderline scary.
I suspect many people are simply accustomed to standard goyslop and aren’t used to the cooking methods used here.
Many private liquor stores now prompt customers for tips at the POS terminal. You don’t need to tip for sure. You pick your own wine, walk it to the counter, and suddenly you’re being asked for a gratuity. The same thing is happening at Subway and even at many pizza takeout places.
Sometimes it makes you feel guilty, especially when a young worker looks at you with those big, anime-style eyes. But once, a liquor store employee told me directly: “Just press zero.” That made me suspect the owner might be skimming the tips anyway.
It’s a complicated issue. On one hand, I don’t feel rushed to tip for fast food or retail. On the other, you look at these young workers and realize how tough things are right now. How many Canadians and Americans are skipping meals or dealing with malnutrition these days?
I’d wager that, on a per-capita basis, far fewer people in Taiwan struggle to get enough food than in Canada or the United States.
Yeah I love it. It took me a long time to change from not liking to really liking it though..
In my case, you would be wrong about what I am accustomed to.
But have you noticed how popular McDonald’s is with Taiwanese people? When I lived in Thailand there were not western fast food chains all over the country. Bangkok, and some major rest areas on highways, probably Chiang Mai. Most of the places I lived had only local food.
But as for the Taiwanese methods, you are correct that I am not used to overcooked and underseasoned food.
I don’t agree with this but I like the word goyslop
But goyslop is quite a fitting term for Taiwanese foods is it not?

Goyslop.
Looks closer to real food than fastfood. But yeah, you could pretty much eat it without teeth.
“Goyslop” is racist and offensive. I am not PC or Woke, but insulting everyone who is not Jewish is offensive.
First time I’d seen it and it is slightly offensive. Now I see ai says it has antisemitic roots because of conspiracies.
Almost daily. Certainly weekly. To clarify myself. Not just contaminated in a biological sense, but also in a chemical sense (ie toxic shit is in the food, packaging, utensils etc). Japan certainly isn’t the only country guilty of this. All are. But Japan certainly has loads of exports that are contaminated. Corrupt should in both Japan and Taiwan were in the spotlight years back when Fukushima produce couldn’t be sold elsewhere. Taiwan aese business folks took advantage of an opportunity. In my opinion, they should all be jailed for such psychopathy

New word to me.
I had a BLT today. Crispy PIG bacon and crispy lettuce, succulent tomatoes, bread that didn’t remind me of cake or cardboard*. You know, what the goys eat. Plenty of pork eaten in Taiwan, totally kosher of course
*tell me your BLT wasn’t made in Taiwan without telling me your BLT wasn’t made in Taiwan
Between this thread of over 3000 comments, the Food Scandals thread with ~800 comments, and other related threads, fairly decent case on Taiwanese food.
Food promoters promote food. But that’s biased positive mostly universally all without the negative.
