Oh Lordy. If you grew up in North Dakota, none of these terms is used to describe that dish. It's HOTdish, people.
Your Anemones look great!

I grew up on American Chop Suey. Nobody anywhere outside New England knows what it is, though. As a proud native of central Mass, make it tonite for "dinnah"

Well, that's basically goulash, although my mom uses spaghetti instead of macaroni, and bakes it all up. And I just realized that, while I love the stuff, I've never actually made it!!

oh that's a great idea-I couldn't figure out which color to use where on my mittens. Oh and we call it american chop suey too. Guten Appetit!

Missed out on the great recipe debate, but if you throw in mushrooms,onions and seasonings, the Betty Crocker cookbook calls it Yankee Doodle Macaroni.

Very pretty Mitts. I'm about to make 'We call them pirates' from Hello Yarn in the same colorways.

Ang

Meh, its goulash in our house. I hear ya though, call it what you want just don't call me late for dinner!

I love these mittens. I need a pair. *sigh*

Reversing the colors in the second mitten was a great idea. Just don't get confused while you're knitting! ;-)

I've never had ACS *or* goulash. Is that un-American of me?...

In my house we called it "Macaroni Junk". It was YEARS before I realized American Chop Suey was the same thing.

I had to reverse the cuffs on my Anemoi Mitts too but only because I thought I would run out of yarn for my main color and I"m too cheap to buy more.
We are about at the same spot on our second mittens. The race is on :-)

i read norma's post just before this one. what i want to know is what's so horrible about macaroni, tomato sauce and ground beef? cook the tomato sauce with the ground beef separately and add it to spaghetti and you've got the same exact thing but with a different name.

Bon appetit!

(I think my grandma called it "Hot Dish.")
; )

Love your mittens!!

You know, I don't think I've ever had ACS. I live a sheltered life.

My mother used to make that concoction for dinner. It didn't have a name. At least not out loud. In my head I referred to it as "yucko".

The mittens are very pretty. I've been wanting to make knit that pattern as well. I like the colors you chose.

Okay, you probably did that on purpose... but it's "galoshes".

The mittens are wonderful.

Thanks for the laugh! I've never heard it called American Chop Suey. Either way, now I want some.

In my family we refer to it as 'stuff' - but before it got this lovely name, we called it American Chop Suey ;o)

Beautiful mittens!

I say potato, you say potAHto.. . .

And I say it's American Chopped Suey.

Of course it's American chop suey. What else would it be?

Amen, sistah.

The mittens are yummy and I bet dinner was too!

Hehe. The mittens look almost as good here as they do in person! Sooo soft. I ended up not buying any Frog Tree for my future Anemois, since the colors just didn't quite gel. See, now I have a quest :) Moooore yarn!

You are just a CRACKER. You're gonna drive me BANANAS. It could be that you are also a FRUITCAKE.

And the last one home is a ROTTEN EGG.

LMAO

Kim's coming here! If only you could be in her pocket! The mittens are fabulous...just glorious, simply wonderful, maraaaahvelous...just like you;-)

Just call me to dinner, too. So long is it isn't either dish ;0
(I'm a vegetarian.)

Ya'll crack me up.

Hey! Looks like the self-ping worked! Ah, another cherry gone. Heheee...

Those mittens are gorgeous. Oh, but I love your colorwork, girlie!!

I'll give Margene a big hug from YOU!
xoxo

Is it regional? >.<

Love the mittens!

Girl, that sounds completely awful. (My DH puts corn and green beans in his goulash, which makes it look disturbingly like barf.) Sorry, but if that's American cuisine, it's no wonder no one says, "Let's go out for American tonight!"
...shudder...
...wink...

Hehehe. You crack me up! I love the mittens in reverse as a pair. It makes one do a double take- same, but quite different. Nice job!
