Chop Suey or “What to do with your leftovers” Day..................
My dad made this for us. It was delicious!!
I first had shrimp chop suey about 50 years ago. My first introduction to Chinese food. We had Hot Spicy Garlic Shrimp from Happy Wok last week.
"The most iconic chop suey sign in Los Angeles is the bright neon sign at Far Bar, located at 347 East 1st Street in Little Tokyo.
This sign, which prominently displays the word "CHOP SUEY," is a remnant of the original Far East Cafe, a historic restaurant that opened in 1935 by four Chinese laundrymen from Mason City, Iowa."
I remember the 2000 primary debate. Each candidate was asked who his guiding philosopher was. Steve Forbes said John Locke, and gave a set of excellent reasons why Locke's thinking would be useful for a President. I was impressed by Forbes' thought process. Then GWB was asked, and he said Jesus. That was the end of the 2000 primary campaign.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Locke is my political philosopher.
At this moment we don't need a political philosopher in the White House. We need a Mr. Fix-it, and in Trump we have one.
Chop suey is harder and harder to find in Southern California, where Chinese immigrants are demanding more “authentic” dishes. But you can still find it at old-school Cantonese restaurants such as Kim’s in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles or the Won Kok in Chinatown.
I always figured “chop suey” was just Chinese for “leftovers” or “whatever the heck was in the fridge.”
And indeed it is. My mom used to through enough stuff in with sprouts and soy sauce and call it chop suey.
I always hated it, but I guess General Tso’s chicken took more more work and more shopping.
