I ordered a bunch of take out fake-Chinese food and the person at the cashier asked if it was for 4 people and I said no, JUST ME.

Oh sweet baby cheeses. What does this mean? As in people who have no Chinese ancestry open up Chinese restaurants? (Not second-generation Chinese-American) If so what do they serve?

Admittedly, I stole the term from a food blog. I take it to mean food derived from Chinese culinary tradition, but popularized by e.g. Panda Express, NYC take-out. Orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and the like?

No judgment there - it can be tasty! Though I can imagine food snobs referring to it as non-authentic Chinese food. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok I'm in Australia but I think I get this. Well, we shall find out the mystery when Costanza is back online. *Walks off whispering: orange chicken?*

I can guarantee you that orange chicken bears very little resemblance to duck à l'orange!

I had a friend who grew up in the country with no diversity. The only Chinese takeaway served brought red and yellow sauces. When she moved to Sydney & went to a proper Chinese restaurant she was freaked out by the not-neon colours. That is what I see when I read orange chicken!

It's not that far off... I suspect most places buy industrially-manufactured orange sauce: http://www.800-45-sysco.com/p-1228-san-j-gf-orange-sauce.aspx …

Ok. We do not have this in the places I frequent. There's sweet and sour sauce, which is orange in colour, but that's not orange sauce made from oranges!
