I'm with Kate -- the only version of chop suey I knew of was the
one created by Chinese folks who immigranted to the U.S. That is,
until I started reading RFC.

My Mid-Western grandmother made a similar dish (hers included onions
and had ketchup instead of tomato sauce) and called it "slumgullion".
I've never been able to make it as tasty as hers though -- probably
a nostalgia thing... :-)

Sheldon... did you honestly expect me to pay attention to
any thread with the words Chop Suey in the title? Chop Suey
isn't Chinese. Period. Doesn't matter what restaurant it's
served in.

No thanks! Sloppy Joe with macaroni is good enough for
me... sounds like Chili over rice. Might be good to you,
but I'm not eating any.

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.

I grew up in central NY and had heard of it as "goulash." I don't
even know how I knew that because we never had it at home.

A former roommate from New Hampshire called it "chop suey." It's
starting to seem like "chop suey" is a New England thang.

Grew up in northwestern PA. It was (and still is) goulash.
Chop suey is that gross american creation that they try to pawn off
onto the Chineese. (probably 'cause whoever came up with it was drunk
and ashamed when they woke up the next day and tried it) ;-)

I've heard it called goulash, but we didn't have it much when I was a
kid. We used to kind of make in on our own, sometimes using canned
tomato soup with the ground beef.

I only knew it from school cafeteria food and the menu
always called it American Chop Suey. That was in
Massachusetts. It was always served with a big cube of
orange cheese on the side which I never tasted.

I think fluffernutters is a great name! Chop suey is neither
here nor there as far as I am concerned.

If it's got cole slaw instead of kraut, then it's not a reuben - it's a
rachel (at least according to one deli out this way). Though I prefer my
slaw on the side, unless I'm eating a po'boy :-)
