I like Chinese Chicken Salad, don't get me wrong. But, I've always wondered what makes them Chinese or Asian.

[Sheherezade]

Silly! It's the *mandarin* oranges! :>

[alison]

Oh, of course!!! MANDARIN oranges. I was thinking it was the green onions!!!

Are mandarin oranges Asian though? I mean (serious question), were they oranges that were grown in Asia and then brought over to Dole to put thick syrup on?
