I think many people in the US would consider General Tso's to be a Chinese dish. Even though it may have originated in the US, it may be Chinese-influenced, which would be the reason many Americans would consider it a Chinese dish.

Sometimes I've wondered what makes a food 'from' a particular place?  If a group of Turkish people emigrate to another country and invent some new food dishes there, is it still Turkish food, or is the food from the country they're now living (and would be considered Turkish-inspired food)?
