n. Kung Pao Chicken, a standard Chinese dish containing chicken, peanuts,
|
|
|
|
|
and hot red peppers in a spicy pepper-oil sauce. Many hackers call it laser
|
|
|
|
|
chicken for two reasons: It can zap you just like a laser, and the sauce has
|
|
|
|
|
a red color reminiscent of some laser beams. The dish has also been called
|
|
|
|
|
gunpowder chicken. In a variation on this theme, it is reported that some
|
|
|
|
|
Australian hackers have redesignated the common dish lemon chicken as
|
|
|
|
|
Chernobyl Chicken. The name is derived from the color of the sauce, which is
|
|
|
|
|
considered bright enough to glow in the dark (as, mythically, do some of the
|
|
|
|
|
inhabitants of Chernobyl).
