<p>Actually, it might by the only chance you can hear this word from cabin group of airplane.
In some situation, the choose of food is very limited -- like in economy class of airplane, you may only have 2 choices totally. The cabin group member may just ask such a question:
你想要猪肉饭还是鸡肉饭？你想要猪肉饭还是牛肉面？
Do you want to have pork with rice or chicken with rice? Do you want to have pork with rice or beef with noodle?</p>
<p>They don't need (or want) to specify the way how the pork is cooked.</p>

<p>I know there's a dish named luroufan but in another forum (Duolingo) there's mention of "zhuroufan".</p>

<p>So obviously zhurou is pork and fan is rice but can also I suppose just mean "meal".</p>

<p>What I'm not sure about is whether this refers to a specific dish in Chinese as the names of Chinese dishes are very often quite concise or idiomatic anyway.</p>

Basically, 猪肉饭 refers to any kind of dishes, made by 猪肉 + 米饭.

Is 猪肉饭 the actual name of a specific Chinese dish or is it merely a description of any pork-and-rice meal?
