The pictures below show the fresh 2-kilo Tuna fish being prepared for making Choora Achar for me. Choora Achar is my most favorite Achar coming from Allepey, Kerala, India, not only because Tuna is fresh and delicious, but more so because it was cooked for me with love by my second family in Allepey. Grandmother cut the Choora, her special way and Aunt Lily and Gracy cooked it for me with TLC
I will never forget these three (3) wonderful cooks from Allepey.

In the food context, "Chopsuey" refers to a Chinese-American stir-fry dish that features a mix of meat (such as chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp) and assorted vegetables. The name "Chopsuey," which is thought to mean "assorted pieces" in Chinese, reflects the dish's composition of various ingredients tossed together. It is believed to have originated from Chinese immigrants in the United States as a way to use up leftover ingredients, making it a versatile and adaptable dish.
