Can you still find "chop suey"? Are there any Chop Suey signs or places left? Used to be common 50+ years ago. I think "egg foo young" is also hard to find now days. Chop suey + egg foo young seemed to go together with fried rice, fried shrimp, chow mein & fortune cookies. It wasn't bad. Whether it was authentic Chinese, probably not. Probably invented in the CA gold rush in the Chinese camps and some of the bolder 49ers tried it and liked it. Better than the slop they were used to. American "Chinese" food was born.
