I’ve decided to honour National Day’s Not Saints days but all the odd, weird, funny National Days we hear about on the web.
So today is #NationalDay Chop Suey Day
OK Chopsticks at the ready!
Did you know that Chop Suey literally means “assorted pieces” or “odds & ends”, which is good as when I make it it really is a random of assorted pieces that are left over from other odds & ends!
Traveling to the United States in 1903, Liang Oichao, a Guangdong native, wrote that there existed a food item called chop suey which was popularly served by Chinese restaurateurs, but which local Chinese people did not eat.
HAVE A WONDERFUL, NATIONAL CHOP SUEY DAY!
