Hahahah. Your right ... and I've read an article before that the word chopsuey was even found in menu's in restaurants in Manila even before the 1940's ...
The Chinese is the oldest culture there is. In the Philippines, there is a story of Limahong (Lim Ah Hong, Lin Feng, Lin Tao Kien), a Chinese Pirate who terrorized the northern provinces in the 15th century and tried to capture Manila. When I was growing up (4 centuries later), people still told the story of Limahong ... of course most of them were exaggerated but the story is there. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of bill lam Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jchat] the things i dislike most about J lun, 01 Feb 2010, Alex Rufon skribis: > Mixed Vegetables : chopsuey We chinese will never serve chopsuey, and the name itself is bad. They might be mixed from the cut out pieces during preparing main dish and those garbage meant to be thrown away are being recycled to feed another customer.
