There has been some discussion in the past about goulash and how some is
more like a soup with others are more of a thick stew. That is not
unlike stew. My wife's stew has a thick, rich gravy. I have seen some
that had a much thinner sauce, and some that were more like soup, but
with chunks of meat.

In our family those no-recipe, throw in what you've got meals are
called mish-mash.
"What's for supper?" "mishmash".
No two mishmashes are ever alike.

I don't understand this American thang of calling your American
mishmashes by the name of real food like chop suey, goulash and apple
pie

(ducks and runs).

You don't understand. There's a mediocre Chinese dish called chop
suey. Americans perfected it: American chop suey. There's a mediocre
Hungarian dish called goulash. Americans perfected it: American
goulash. There's mediocre European apple pie: Americans added
colorants, conservatives, natural flavours and anti-foaming agents to
it: American apple pie.

I was thinking of a supermarket apple pie in a carboard box, not a
home made one. I don't know about the foaming agent. Maybe that's more
for fast food fries.

It's to keep people from foaming at the mouth when they take a bite.

Also helps to suppress intestinal gas, reducing flatulence.

Ha ha, you know I'm not serious though. Some of the best recipes were

Do you think some in this thread think of this as goulash?
<https://www.chefboyardee.com/products/beefaroni>
It sure sounds like it. It has all the ingredients, and it's super easy
to make.

Funny, my dh said today that we haven't had that hamburger spaghetti you
make for a long time, meaning the goulash, so I guess any name will do. ;-)

I had to look

"What is American Goulash?

American Goulash is one of those home-style, comfort food dishes, made
in one pot that originated in the mid-west and the south. Made from
simple ingredients like ground beef, pasta, and canned tomatoes, it?s
easy to fix and makes an equally perfect weeknight meal or potluck
dinner. Throughout the country, the name varies depending on the region
? Traveling Man?s Hash, Beef and Mac, Slum Gullion, Kentucky Burgoo, and
American Chop Suey."

Burgoo is misplaced in this list. Here's an interesting story:

It's basically Julie's frequent hodgepodge of "use up everything"
in the fridge and pantry. Sounds like crap but usually turns out
to be a decent meal. Even her gardener approves, I suspect.

I wonder how he would feel if she served him goat for dinner some
evening.

There is no Chinese dish called Chop Suey. Chop Suey is a derogatory
term used to name the dishes prepared by the Chinese cooks working the
early railroads... Chop Chop meaning Fast... Suey is the Chinese
pronounciation for Slop, ie. Fast Slop.
And then there's Chop Cheri/Fast Cheri. ;)

Often such dishes are the same as Spanish rice (an American dish),
only difference is using rice rather than pasta.

But, in order to keep Popeye's aneurysm from bursting, we should all
just refer to these dishes as chop suey. Please consider it for his sake.

Yoose are wasting yoose time with Popeye. His cro-magnon skull is so
thick and dense that a pneumatic jackhammer cannot crack it.

The best yoose can do is to drill a small hole with a carbide/diamond
tipped bit, and use it to pee into his cranium to improve his brain
function slightly. The urine is what he needs.
