Are you claiming that "kan siu" isn't correct Cantonese?

Are you claiming that "siu/shao" isn't used for dishes that aren't roasted?

Are you claiming that "kan/gan shao" (+ recipe) doesn't give a similar number of google hits to "gan bian"?

If you aren't claiming any of those, what is your problem? If you don't claim those things, then you agree with what I said. So what would be this "ass handing"?

If you do claim those things, you provided no evidence. So the only "ass handing" is in your imagination. If you want to argue about things, why don't you try evidence and logic? They're more convincing than mere proclamations of victory.
