Ding, ding, ding!!! Old memories are flooding back....
that's what tomato sauce, hamburger and noodles was called
when I was a kid. Goulash - I liked!

AFAIC chop suey is a horrible name for it. Of course, I
don't like the current name of one of my favorite combos
either (fluffernutters). If they were called that horrible
name in my formative days, I wouldn't have gone near them.
