In what country did the dish Chop Suey originate?

The good ol' USA. One version is that a disgruntled diplomat was pestered by the press to know what he was eating, and snapped out 'Chop Suey'. Meaning 'mixed fragments'. This got taken up by the press, and a specific dish quickly evolved to fit the name. Jul 21 04, 5:50 AM

Chop suey is a distinctly American dish, relatively unknown in China until World War II. A medley of stir-fried meat, noodles and vegetables, the name is a corruption of the Cantonese word for "garbage bits." Many believe it originated during the Gold Rush, when Chinese miners were forced to cook with whatever scraps were available. http://www.metrotimes.com/19/23/Columns/scoop.html [Jul 21 04 8:07 AM] SOTHC writes: Mono sodium glutomate has a repetitious smell to it so it may not be Gimboism.
