Strangely, in Boston they call the dish "General Gau's Chicken". This never made sense to me. Then again, Bostonians also have a weird taxonomy around milkshak

Strangely, in Boston they call the dish "General Gau's Chicken". This never made sense to me. Then again, Bostonians also have a weird taxonomy around milkshakes vs "frappes" (and also "malts"? I'm so confused, and I lived there for two years)

We also call those circular things in the roads "rotaries" (as opposed to "roundabouts" or "traffic circles"), and what what most of America calls Italian ice, we call "slush"

  Rotaries and roundabouts are different, though I wouldn't be surprised that people refer to some of one by the other's name. http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/round/Differences_between_Modern_Roundabouts_and_Old_Traffic_Circles.pdf http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/round/Differences_...

    Interesting! I guess we only call half of the things by the wrong name in Boston instead of all of them then :)

In Montreal we call it General Tao's chicken. I have no idea why.
