he was an actual fighting general.
The story goes... something like his men have for their rations only chickens and rice. They've been eating that for a long while. General Tsao, tso, I don't know how to spell his name, decides to raise moral with something different. I think he just grabs whatever garnishings they have on hand, and voila, his chicken is born.
That's what I've heard

The dish's name in Chinese is 左宋雞 Zuosongji but the way it's prepared authentically is quite different from the "Americanized" version that you may find at your local Chinese buffet restaurant...

I've never had the 'real' version before, how does it differ? I would imagine less 'fried chicken'-ish?

How did Zuo Zongtang get mangled into "General Gao"?
