Jennifer Lee Hunts for General Tso
If you are at all a fan of American-Chinese food, you should probably watch this. Very interesting TED talk.
A few choice tidbits:
- There are more Chinese restaurants in America than McDonalds, Burger Kings, Wendys, and KFCs combined.
- Fortune cookies originated in Japan but were made famous by the Chinese because we locked up Japanese immigrants during World War II
- Chop Suey translates to Odds and Ends
- Broccoli is not a Chinese vegetable
