People are misattributing horrendous culinary creations to China. We have received numerous reports about dishes with names such as &#8216;chicken schezuan fried rice&#8217;, &#8216;gobi manchurian&#8217;, &#8216;Chinese chaat&#8217;, and &#8216;noodle samosa&#8217; that have created a culinary identity crisis,\u201d says\u00a0Mun Ching.\n\n\u201cPeople have returned to China disillusioned.
