Yes, of course. Wasn't saying there wouldn't be the "Bavarian Mecklenburg" problem and worse when they do (presumably just to sound cool), but that if they do describe themselves broadly as "Chinese" then at least they'd get away with mixing all the culinary traditions on the menu. :-)

Can't really blame them for providing knives and forks if their customers are generally incompetent about it, I suppose.

Eating with chopsticks is a point of pride for me at this point, as it is for a fair number of my circle of friends, members of the tribe who are not chopstick capable without good reason (say damaged nerves) are viciously mocked at dinner time.
Lines:
I'm just going to state my opinion here, but I do not think comparing a German restaurant that currently serves Bavarian food is the same as a typical western "Chinese" restaurant. At least the food is from the country of origin, not some made up mishmash of crap that isn't from its country at all. Also I think everyone kind of ignored my comments about this being a historical restaurant. Considering there is a HUGE German population (descendants now, including both mine and Michael's families) in Cincinnati, OH and Covington, KY, the German restaurants around here actually do serve German food. I'm sorry one historical place didn't want to change their name to match their newest incarnation of their menu.

Man I love the little wontons with cream cheese and crab. And sushi with cream cheese and cucumber. You people are crazy.
