Have you tried "saliva chicken" before?

Perhaps even worse than Thousands Years of Eggs

Logically, then, you wouldn't want to eat vermicelli ('little worms') or linguini or a number of other kinds of pasta. In England we have 'toad in the hole' (actually sausages which are cooked in a pan and then have a batter mixture poured around them which cooks and becomes crisp in the very hot pan)

@youless The "century eggs" look disgusting, it's not only the name.

Yes, they shall use a normal name rather than its original name

@youless Maybe they should call it something like spicy chicken or hot chicken.

@youless Yes, they are, of course. The idea of 'Chicken that makes the mouth water' is just expressed more concisely in Chinese but if you translate it literally into English, it conjures up ideas of chicken chewed by someone else before being served to you! Even though that was (and still may be) a common way of weaning babies and of feeding old people in some cultures, it sounds repulsive to Western ears.

I think they may be the same but with two different translation names.

@owlwings The chicken that makes your mouth water. Your explanation sounds reasonable.

I think I will like it because of the dish photo

I don't know. It must be interesting to know why it has such kind of weird name.

Perhaps it is available in some Chinese restaurants.

Perhaps some curious customers will be interested in ordering it.

I also want to know the reason.

Except for it has a terrible name

@youless for me the name is not a problem, the important thing is to be pleasant to look at and taste.

I think it is more like a real reason.

You may like this dish

@youless I definitely would. Im a ramen head lol when I was in New York I went to the best Noodle spots available, apparently the best ones have been vietnam style beef noodles

This is the only one reason I can think of

I like your attitude
