There was an extended discussion elsewhere about this term, before it was entered. In some regions, oriental food means any East Asian food. In most other regions, it means only Chinese or Japanese food. Don't know about Canada, nor UK. --Connel MacKenzie 23:50, 16 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

SOP, we don't have and probably don't want Chinese food, Finnish food, kosher food... --Hekaheka (talk) 16:19, 2 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Delete. Both words used in the normal sense. Equinox 10:21, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Delete. It's not even the most common collocation for what it describes; if there is to be a translations target, let it be "Asian food" or indeed the generalized sense of "Chinese food". - -sche (discuss) 20:01, 5 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Is there some reason this is still here? It's pretty rare to get something as clear cut as this. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
