So a customer came in and...

02/28/2015

customer: Do you carry General Tsao Chicken sauce?

me: uh..... (have i ever seen one before? . .  .   .   . ...) ... i'm sorry, but, no.. we do not :(

customer: What? isn't that Chinese?

me: well... (1. we are not a Chinese store per say... but more importantly 2.) "General Tsao's chicken is not Chinese, but New York". 

customer: Huh? then where can u get it?

as it turns out.. Googling turned up, wait-for-it.. Walmart! (I guess the sauce must me made in China at least... :p)




And I proceeded to explain what i heard on NPR

i dont think any of my vendors carry it.. 

this was a weird one.. cant find a sauce to good ole #AmericanChineseCusine at an Asian grocery store :p

But what can you expect, when the said dish originated, not from China, but from NYC


oh, and found this during my search ;)
