Well, if you’re going to turn series and not even lol at my pun... How hugh is this?
What is the connection between General Tso and Cao Cao? Are they pronounced similarly? Is Tso a mythologized Cao Cao?

What is the connection between General Tso and Cao Cao?As per post #10, General Tso is probably just some name for a spicy dish in a million Chinese take-out joints.

I never eat that as I'm always concerned that once I start, General Tso will come to my table and ask why I'm eating his dinner.

"Not all in fields is caos." LOL. Cao Cao may have been a Caucasian or at minimum, mixed blood.
