A General and His Chicken

Okay so I went to a China Buffet today in town and tossed my glucomannan away. I started thinking . . .

Who is General Tso and why does he have a chicken named after him.

First, I thought it would be deviation of names. Then maybe the guy who wrote Art of War.

So I decided to do some work and find out.

I cannot believe this. General Tso was not a real general and it is not even a a traditional Chinese dish. General Tso chicken was developed in New York City! New York City! (flash back to old el paso picante sauce commercial.

The worst part it is so ancient I was in Jr High School at the time it was developed!
