Peng first made General Tso's chicken in the 1950s

I thought it was personally made for a famous Chinese general back in the Ch'in Dynasty or something?

For more than 50 years, the poor General never got to eat his chicken because everyone else beat him to it.... tsk, tsk...

Chef Peng Chang-kuei made a great contribution to mankind! May God’s Holy Angels escort him to the Heavenly Banquet!

“I thought it was personally made for a famous Chinese general back in the Ch’in Dynasty or something?”

No. Just named for him.

It was made for a US Admiral.

I saw a thread on this a little while ago. Now, here it is two hours later and I’m reading about it again.

Like the food.

It looks like that was just a story. Everybody knows that most Chinese dishes made in the US are recent inventions.

I’m surprised that an actual chinese cook invented it.

Why did General Tso lose every battle?

Because he was chicken....

OMG, happening to see this on the list on opening the “general” page.

Ode to my old mentor, who ordered General Tso’s chicken whenever work called for take-out!

I've never figured out whether General Tso's Chicken is supposed to be a main course or dessert. All the versions I've seen are basically plates of candy. Good though.

If the chef cooks it sweet, I leave it on the plate. Only the spicy kind is good!

Aw man. That is my favorite Chinese dish though. Much better with noodles than rice.
