You reall...Haha, you made me laugh out loud Marie! You really did. My mother's "Eye-talian" spaghetti came from a tin of Catelli spaghetti sauce, poured over a pound of browned beef mince. I preferred it without the meat and so a TBS of sauce was always saved aside for me. Moms, what would we do without them! I will have to look up that Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe and make it now! You have tantalised my taste buds by reminding me! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-55489594893899416172016-06-09T06:13:31.316+01:002016-06-09T06:13:31.316+01:00I predict you will enjoy it Rhonda! xoI predict you will enjoy it Rhonda! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-81425483768460165302016-06-09T03:18:00.508+01:002016-06-09T03:18:00.508+01:00This is like Moo Shu "pick your meat or go ve...This is like Moo Shu "pick your meat or go vegetarian"....but instead ground meat and the thick soy sauce added for extra ummph..I am going to make this for sure.

She had no idea what to do with it, but one of her cousins was going out with an Italian man and she wanted to make him feel welcome, so she cooked the spaghetti, which she served on the plate in a little pile along with the roast lamb, spuds, carrots, peas, mint sauce and gravy. I still laugh thinking about that.<br /><br />And speaking of Chinese food, you also posted a link for a Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken. You HAVE to make it - we just loved it (served with your delicious Garlic Fried Rice) and I'm sure you'll like it too. The baking makes it such an easy dish as well.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-82251431790491732222016-06-08T16:47:20.894+01:002016-06-08T16:47:20.894+01:00I was so happy that I finally got around to making...I was so happy that I finally got around to making it Marie! I love chop suey! We didn't have Chinese ingredients when I was girl either. Just the name was exotic enough! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-44694421852357609402016-06-08T11:53:16.103+01:002016-06-08T11:53:16.103+01:00This is a delicious dish.

Your additions make it even tastier (I'll be adding those changes to my recipe file). It's a great way to use cabbage when it's at a good price and you'd never know it was a "budget meal". <br /><br />My mum made something similar when I was a kid and she called it "Chop Suey", though she didn't use soya sauce as we didn't have that back then. Instead she would flavour it with a packet of Chicken Noodle Soup and sometimes bulk it out with a packet of frozen veggies. We loved it and thought it was very exotic and quite Chinese :)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.com
