I was about to ask who knew who General Tso is... but I found out and thought you would all enjoy the namesake of my favorite dish's story. See this link.
General Tso Story
And to make it a little more fun. I'll treat the first person that can find my favorite phrase in this news article to some General Tso's Chicken.

From there he pushed south into Fujian.

Oh brother, let me just say that there will be no pushing south into Fujian.

The writer of this piece needs to go back to school. He says, "...General Tso (most commonly pronounced "sow")..." -- doesn't he realize that "sow" can be pronounced two different ways?!?
Coincidentally, I'm eating Chinese food for lunch today...

Melange of dark-meat.

Hunanese cuisine tends to build up inside you, like a slow charcoal fire, until you feel as though your belly is filled with burning coals.

A Chinese mystic who believed he was the younger brother of Jesus.

From there he pushed south into Fujian and Guangdong.

He took up silkworm farming and tea farming and chose a gentle sobriquet, calling himself "The Husbandman of the River Hsiang."

Am I the winner? FCOL, I've guessed half the phrases in the article.

I'm not sure that recopying the article into a comment justifies as a winning statement... although you did get it.... he pushed south into Fujian and Guangdong.
Fuji wins, but you only get a small order.

We need to limit the number of posts allocated to Fuji per day.

It's hard to limit posts on this topic. There were so many unbelievable phrases in that article, I couldn't hold back. Melange ... sobriquet ... husbandman ...

FUJI - Guess what? My FUJI is out picking up some General Tso at this very moment. YUMMMMY....

If I had known that I was only going to win a small order, I wouldn't have tried so hard.

One last post on this topic and then I'm done. I promise! When I lived in Seattle, the dude who sat in the cube next to me ate General's chicken every day for lunch. At EXACTLY 11:30 EVERY SINGLE MORNING, I listened as he called up to place his order for pick up. It got to be a bit of a joke with me and another dude, because I became an expert at mocking the "General Tso call". Me, good at mocking? I know, it's hard to believe.
