General Tso never even tried his sauce.
General Tso died in 1885, yet General Tso's Chicken is invented around 1970. They are almost 100 years apart.
IIRC the sauce was invented in San Francisco, as were fortune cookies.
Except it's more generally accepted that it's from New York, and not San Fran.
Where did you ever find information tracing it to San fransisco?
I don't remember, I just remembered reading that both of those were made by some Chinese immigrant that started a "Chinese food" shop in San Francisco, some time in the 1930s or so. Seemed believable since there were a lot of Chinese immigrants in California as early as the 1850s cause of the railroad
I wonder if you were thinking of chop suey, which has one of its origin stories being from San Francisco?
No. Chop Suey was invented when someone grabbed a brush and put a little makeup.
That seems possible
Yeah....that Chinese immigrant started it in New York city, though. Not San fransisco.
Fortune cookies were originally Japanese, but when the Japanese were sent to the internment camps, the Chinese opportunistically began serving them in their restaurants on the West Coast
