Broken: (Just for fun) Strange menu item

StrangeflavorchickenA reader submits the menu from Cheng's Garden restaurant in Enfield, Connecticut. "Strange Flavor Chicken - yum!!!"

Comments:

Maybe it's made from exotic quarks?

I thought "Mysterious Flavor Chicken" was a staple on all Chinese food menus.

Looks like a case of Engrish to me.

Not broken--this is a known Chinese recipe. Eileen Yin-Fei Lo's got it in her book "Chinese Kitchen". The "strange taste" comes from Sichuan peppercorn paste.

Yeah, we know it's not broken... That's why it's under "Just for Fun."

"Orange" perhaps?

Displays of ethnocentrism are broken...
