Chop Suey is an 'English' chinese dish, rather like you say Chow Mein is an American Chinese dish. None of the food we get here in Chisese restaurants/take aways is what i would call Chinese. i spent 4 years in Singapore where I ate authentic Chinese(various diferent Chinese too-Madarin, Hokkien, Cantonsese etc), Malay, Indian, Indonesian and othet types of food. it was all wonderful and I have never had the like since. here in the UK the Chinese and Indian food outlets are all selling English versions of their foods. In certain parts of London(and I ams ure in otjer large cities with large Asian pops)I was able to eat Indian food that other Indians ate. I was never able to eat what i saw Chinese people eating even in Soho because although it was obvious that the Chinese customers were eating different food to the Euro customers, the staff were never helpful and insisted we ate from the menu. Interestingly, or not, and Idian meal leaves me satified and fine the next day. A 'Chinese' meal leaves me hungry and hungover the next day.
