there are many different origins flying around i know of a couple all of which say it was first made in USA. even if it was buy Chinese people. the one i like best is that a Chinese cook was cooking for a bunch of Americans and he wasn't in the best of moods to say the least so he grabbed some veg and meat out of the garbage abd cooked them up and served it to the Americans. they loved it though and kept comming back and asking for it again. and it is said that Chop Suey is a mispronouncation of chopped sewage.
that was in San Francisco that one. the one i heared from New York was that it was invented in 1896 by Chinese Ambassador Li Hung-Chang's chef. They say he devised this dish to appeal to both American and Oriental taste. Others claim the Ambassador often suffered acute indigestion after being plied with rich foods at obligatory banquets. His aide recommended a bland diet for the stricken Ambassador, and together they concocted chop suey.
Most likely, the dish came about because early Chinese miners and railway workers cooked together whatever vegetables and meats they had, and when Americans began buying meals from them, the Chinese dubbed the new Chinese-American invention a little of this and that or chop suey. I think the Mandarin words for chopped up odds and ends are tsa sui which sounds kinda close to chop suey i think.
any of those what u have pande ?

The tale of the Chinese railroad-workers just cooking with what ever they found on the way is correct. And since these where immigrants in the US, the dish Chop Suey is not native Chinese cooking (and actually an insult in the face of true Chinese cooking).
I have to admit, popping out such detailed facts after at first only shadow-stabbing...
Seeing this one thought the fingers, but try to be a little more plausible on own knowledge in the future
