But 99% of the time a small cruet of vinegar is on the table if you want a splash on your cooked greens. It sounds counterintuitive but a few drops on top of a serving of greens that seem overly bitter will mellow out the flavor. |

Even paprika isn't Hungarian, paprika is a New World ingredient. |

I was a guest for dinner with my then husband. I didn't say a word, just ate it and said thank you. Not something I aspired to replicate. I'd rather have a nice beef stew. :) Jill |

I'm pretty sure my high school cafeteria (Michigan) called it goulash. But I was a picky eater and generally avoided everything except the cookies (made with government surplus butter).

As I said, I've only ever heard of it here on RFC. No one in my family (Ohio, Pennsylvania) ever called anything chop suey or American Spaghetti. Then again, they didn't call a casserole made with macaroni, ground beef and tomatoes "goulash". They simply didn't make such a thing. Jill |

It must be true and that's the end of the discussion. |

That's what I was wondering. Neither of those were something we had, growing up, I had no idea of this type of 'goulash' and never heard of American chop suey. Deprived childhood, I guess.
