My wife is Australian, but we live in Germany now. Last year, she was craving "Honey Chicken" which is ubiquitous at Chinese takeaway places in Australia. None of the Chinese places in Germany knew what I was talking about. Turns out Honey Chicken is a purely Australian invention.

Sounds good! Is it close to orange chicken or General Tso's chicken in the USA?

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

We have honey chicken commonly in the US too. It is essentially orange chicken without the orange flavor/color.

Yeah our "Chinese" places usually just do chicken in a bunch of ways that may or may not be from Asia.

Chicken with Broccoli, Chicken and snow peas or mixed vegetables, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Curry Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Mongolian Chicken, Kung Pao, Chicken with Cashews, Hunan with black bean sauce, hot and spicy, black pepper w/ onion, Coconut, sweet and sour, lemon, honey, sesame, Bourbon, Orange, General Tsos.

Is it all Chinese influence, no. The people making it know, the people eating it know, but if they called it "Chicken Many ways" then you wouldn't know they sold dumplings, pork and what not, lol.

Like butter chicken from Indian restaurants ... in the anglophone world only, apparently. What is with us anglophones and our propensity for consuming jungle fowl in yellowish fluids?

If I'm not mistaken, butter chicken is indigenous but tikka masala is the BIR style dish.

Wikipedia agrees with you. I'm convinced. Who knew? I guess maybe the names confused the people who told me that. A name like "tikka masala" sounds traditional, while I can't think of anything more anglophone sounding than "butter chicken" ; )

And both are fucking delicious (and honestly pretty similar, mostly with the tomato being less "in your face" with the murgh makhani).

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

Sounds delicious though.
