I enjoyed this story in The Times Magazine — on the origin of General Tso’s chicken — until I saw it was written by someone named Fuchsia Dunlop and, thus, obviously fictional. I mean, why not Cerise McGee? Puce Smith? Magenta Jones?

If they're a Wire aficiando then this is a reference to Fuzzy Dunlop the fictional informant that Detective Herc used to fake probable cause for a warrant.

Sorry to disappoint (because Fuschia and Fuzzy are obviously related) but she's the real deal: http://snipurl.com/19m5p (I mean, you knew this, but it gives me an opportunity to link to an awesome cookbook).
