Try the Safeway Jazz and Spice Sesame And Ginger Teriyaki marinate. It is awesome on chicken and beef.

marinate is a verb marinade is what you marinate something in. Marinate is a verb. M is a big case letter and the sentence needs a . at the end. Marinade is what you marinate something in. The M in marinade is suppose to be a big case letter. All states start with a big case letter. Maine. Press 2 for English.

I always wondered HOW do you say "General Tso Chicken"
Is it like General So? General Toe? General Zoe? Ive even heard General toe-so.

I believe it's pronounced like szow... (rhymes with wow, how, cow, bow, dow,..etc.) But I am not completely sure!

...took a Chinese cooking class, and eine is exactly right on the pronunciation. Most surprising thing about the cooking class was the colossal amount of sugar that went in to dishes like that. I guess that's why they're sooooo tasty!

I believe it's pronounced like szow... (rhymes with wow, how, cow, bow, dow,..etc.) But I am not completely sure! I believe you're correct, but there's also a "t" in there, making it tszow. Hard to explain in an email since we don't use that combination of letters in English. But the sound kind of all runs together like tsz-ow. OK, I stand corrected... Didn't think of these examples: Actually, it's quite easy. Everyone pronounces the 'ts' combination all the time: lots, its, eats. All you have to do is pronounce these words paying attention to how you say the 'ts'. Then put it in front of 'o'. Americans THINK they can't say words like 'Tso' and 'Tsunami' correctly. Try it and you'll see that it is really quite easy.

Try it and you'll see that it is really quite easy."I'm probably the only one who cares, but this is something that really bugs me. Whenever Strong Bad mentions General Tso's Chicken, he mispronounces it. I understand that it's commonly mispronounced. I work in a Chinese restaurant, and I've heard it pronounced every way possible. It's correctly pronounced "General SO". Actually, there's two ways to pronounce it. That is the accepted American pronunciation. In Chinese, the TS are treated as one letter. The T is pronounced before the S but just barely. It comes out sounding kinda like the cymbal noise that you make when you make drum sounds with your mouth, but not quite as accented. So, you more or less pronounce it exactly like it's spelled. All three letters in one syllable. It's not "Tao", "Too-so", "Tee-s-o", or "Cho". It's "TSO", or simply "SO" ".

Tell the author that works in the Chinese restaurant. I told you that I did not write it, that is why there are quotation marks. I am quoting someone. You really should spend more time learning how to use plural possessives and learning how to use the big case letters like a BIG girl. Not all of your corrections are correct. I have been sitting here for months watching you act like a know-it-all and playing teacher and you are not always correct in your corrections. Is the Alzheimer's setting in or something, maybe you forgot what you learned in school 50 years ago?

OMG, you all have turned a post in the recipe section into a bickering session. I came here because I figured nobody could possibly be sniping on the recipe posts! Give it a freaking rest...it's getting really old. And here's the deal...I don't care who started it. This is just like spending the day in the courtroom, only nobody ever really wins.

Actually, I am not a big fan of Chinese Food I'll eat it if I have to...but General Tso Chicken or Shrimp is about the only thing that I will order if that's the choice of the evening.... It's interesting how everyone has a perception as to how it is pronounced correctly, but I usually fall back to the old fail safe....when in doubt.....Point!!

I know this has been covered before, but real quickly: - Nothing here on the island is too great - Tanuki's in Easton is supposed to be good - China Garden, Bay Dale Dr. near Cape St. Clair is good - House of Hunan, in the Parole Giant plaza, is great
