General Tso's Chicken McNuggets

In honor of the DOTARD's Asian Tour, I was just about to post a spoof about McDonalds introducing a Chinese restaurant-inspired version of its deep-fried chicken parts finger food specialty. Thank goodness I checked Google first. It's already been introduced and is coming back.

McDonalds is planning to put it's one-day-only Szechuan dipping sauce back on the menu permanently. With a flavor almost identical to typical General Tso's spicy sweet and sour sauce, it turned Chicken McNuggets into a more or less edible substitute for take-out General Tso's Chicken.

Poe's Law continues to remain in force, apparently.

Parts? What Parts?

I'm not a big fan of mechanically separated chicken in my diet. Nope.

Funny enough, the story of General Tso's chicken reveals a lot about the U.S. relationship with China, Chinese American immigration, cultural appropriation and cultural dissemination.
