Yea, Singapore noodles are from Hong Kong and Tikka Masala is from the UK of all places.

My favourite weird food thing is that Japanese curry is a reinterpretation of UK curry which is in turn a reinterpretation of Indian curries.

I love the circuitous route it took to hop north east a ways, and how distinct it is due to this.

German Chocolate Cake is from Pennsylvania or New York. It's definitely American. The guy's last name was German.

Considering the Amish proficiency for baked goods, I'd imagine it's from Pennsylvania, and actually German.

But just like whoopie pies it's an American invention.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

No literally it was the brand name of the chocolate which was sold by a guy named German. Nothing to do with the country at all

General Tso never even tried his sauce.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

Singapore noodles probably aren't from Singapore either.

Australian Shepherds are actually from the American West.
