The History of Chinese American Food
Good to see Kinger's doing well ... Ahem.
In the following video lecture from the TED Talks series, Jennifer 8. Lee, author of 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles', expounds on the history of Chinese American food. We are given the origins of chop suey, fortune cookies, and general Tso's (Cao's) chicken. A more detailed explaination of the general Tso's chicken story can be found at the fantastic food site Edible Geography.
