“Dinner was made for eatin' not for talkin'.”
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863)
Chop suey is supposedly not Chinese, but is a Chinese American dish which originated in the mid to late 19th century, either with Chinese laborers working on the U.S. transcontinental railroad, Chinese immigrants in San Francisco, or Chinese ambassador Li Hung Chang’s cooks while he was visiting New York. More recent information suggests that it originated in the Toisan region of China.
