oriental food: n. Hackers display an intense tropism towards oriental cuisine,
especially Chinese, and especially of the spicier varieties such as
Szechuan and Hunan. This phenomenon (which has also been observed in
subcultures that overlap heavily with hackerdom, most notably
science-fiction fandom) has never been satisfactorily explained, but is
sufficiently intense that one can assume the target of a hackish dinner
expedition to be the best local Chinese place and be right at least three
times out of four. See also ravs,
great-wall,
stir-fried random, laser chicken,
Yu-Shiang Whole Fish. Thai, Indian, Korean,
Burmese, and Vietnamese cuisines are also quite popular.
