A foreign service officer serving in Iraq, who maybe ought to be trying exotic kebabs and hummus, says, "It's a taste of home. What could be more American than beer and take-out Chinese?" There are wonderful surprises here about this favorite food. Lee traces how immigrants come, mostly from Fuzhou, and are posted to different locales in the United States (some of this story is pretty grim). She shows that Chinese take out, the grandfather of all takeouts, was started in 1976 in New York by an enterprising woman whose restaurant was about to go under. The soy sauce packets you get with your meal probably contain no soy. There is a hilarious story of a kosher Chinese restaurant ("Moshe Dragon") which caused an uproar serving non-kosher duck to its customers, a story of religious scandal and destroyed reputations. Memoir, history, and sociological study, these chronicles are a delight, and if you are like me, you won't be able to get through the book without ordering from your local Chinese restaurant. Explain that you insist on the authentic chicken of General Tso.
