在国外吃中国菜,尤其是在更早以前,很容易碰到这么几种情况。
这菜在中国根本不存在
General Tso's Chicken
左宗棠将军鸡
Most people who grow up in China's mainland have never heard of this dish that was created by a Taiwan chef in the 50s, and in fact it has not the slightest bit of relevance to Zuo Zongtang (the General Tso for which the dish is named).
大多数在中国大陆长大的人从来没听说过这道由50年代一位中国台湾厨师做的菜,事实上它与左宗棠(这道菜名字的来源)一点关系都没有。
In the 1970s, the dish's creator brought it to America where it was adored by Henry Kissinger and suddenly its popularity exploded. Chinese restaurants all over started making their own imitations of the dish. The dish's flavor slowly morphed from the original salty and spicy profile into the sweet one that is presumed to be loved by so many Americans until it reached its current state as just a kind of sweet and sour chicken.
上世纪70年代,这道菜的创造者把它带到了美国,受到了亨利·基辛格的喜欢,于是突然,它的受欢迎程度激增。各地的中餐馆都开始仿制这道菜。味道慢慢地从原来的咸味和辣味转变成了甜味。有人认为很多美国人喜欢甜味,一直到它变成了现在的酸甜味鸡肉。
What I can assure you is that natives in Hunan, General Tso's hometown, have never heard of this so-called Hunan dish.
