Actually, no. I didn't. Burgoo stared in Kentucky as a community based
road-kill stew and was named there. No matter its similarities to gulyas 
or Mulligan stew ("invented" in American 'hobo jungles').

But Americans will file the serial numbers off of anything and claim it
as their own.

Us crazy Americans will insist on corruptiing other's regional cuisine.
Hell, we even put pineapple on pizza. And have been known to salt our
beer. Not to mention the obscenities we visit on chilli con carne - 
turnng it into chilli con carnage.   Bv)=

And don't get me started on what we've inflicted on Oriental food.
I mean chow mein noodles - from a can??? Are you kidding me??? Then 
there's this ....

      Title: American Chop Suey II
 Categories: Five, Pasta, Beef, Vegetables
      Yield: 5 Servings
 
     16 oz Pkg uncooked elbow macaroni
      1 lb Ground beef
      1 lg Onion; chopped
 21 1/2 oz (2 cans) tomato soup
           Salt & pepper to taste
 
  Cook macaroni according to package directions.
  
  Meanwhile, in a separate large skillet over medium high
  heat, saute the ground beef and the onion for 5 to 10
  minutes, or until meat is browned and crumbly. Drain
  thoroughly and leave the meat and onion in the skillet.
  Pour the two cans of tomato soup into the skillet and
  stir well to combine.
  
  When noodles are done, drain thoroughly and return noodles
  to the pot. Add the hamburger mixture from the skillet to
  the pot. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to
  taste.
  
  UDD SEZ: Beg to differ. This is much more like my Mom's
  slumgullion than anything remotely approaching chop suey
  (the San Fransisco Treat)
