I could have sworn that he had this discussion earlier this year, but
maybe it was another list.  The original goulash is a Hungarian beef
stew, made with chunks of meat, seasoned with paprika, and not
containing pasta.  "American Goulash" (sometimes shortened to
"Goulash") is a dish of macaroni and tomatoes and ground beef.  In
some parts of the country (such as New Hampshire, where my
husband was raised) it is called "American Chop Suey").

Gorgeous, being a chefly type, expected Hungarian goulash.
