The food name that attracted the most attention from Chinese netizens is tongziji (literally baby chicken), which was mistranslated as "chicken without sex life" on restaurant menus. The book gave it the name "spring chicken".

Chinese netizens were fascinated with the name. By Wednesday afternoon, there were 22,377 messages on the topic on Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter.

"It will be good that every restaurant uses the same spelling, so you will be able to get the dish you want," said Simon Betz, a 23-year-old from Germany. "But I think it is also kind of funny if you let the restaurants decide what they name it. Isn't it just cool that someday you order a 'chicken without sex life' somewhere?"
