I bet you’re SO fun at parties!…

…if by chance you ever get invited to any.


No one wants to go to your parties with garbage American foods like pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs, potato salad, and any variant of a dip. You might as well be holding a conagra or campells stock holder convention because all you have at your parties are nasty ultra processed American foods.


Deviled eggs are devoured in the first 10 minutes of my parties.


I mean what do you expect? You have Americans at your parties. Americans eat dumpy foods. So really not surprising here....


I regularly take deviled eggs to parties as my contribution. I have 30 layer hens so it is easy for me.

I make my own mayo and grow parsley. To be fair, I don’t grow my own mustard, source local pepper or dry ocean water into salt…but what part of a deviled egg do you think is ultra processed?


Give it a rest. We all know the standard suburban mommy is using helmans or some other jarred mayo that's been sitting on the shelf for weeks in a store. It's highly processed food.


The word you are looking for is pasteurized. That's not highly processed. It's called cooking.



Ha! No.

Ingredients in suburban mommy Mayo:

SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS, DISTILLED VINEGAR, EGG YOLKS, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY), NATURAL FLAVORS.

It's called soybean oil, EDTA, and 'natural flavors'. You are a good lapdog for the processed food industry. Enjoy your disgusting deviled eggs.


And what exactly is wrong with soybean oil?


Enjoy your processed junk.


Do you think oil from a fruit is magically better?


Soybean oil is cheap, processed junk.

Do you think olive oil grows directly from the tree? Or do you understand that it is also processed?

Instead, you see a lot of quicker cooking methods becoming popular. The assemble yourself bowls typically have a quick-cooking protein and lots of add-ons that can be chopped / processed quickly.


I work. I very rarely do casseroles. Mostly do a meat and a steamed veggie. If I do meatloaf, it's baked in muffin tins - that's faster. I do make sloppy joe from scratch with a can of tomato sauce and a tiny bit of coconut sugar.

Is there any way that we could all get together to ban this poster from DCUM? No reason, except she is really, really irritating.

It was not as soft as velveeta and not as hard as American. Somewhere in between those. Do you think I can get american cheese unsliced at the deli (the cheapest one) and it would be close?


I know what you mean. When we visited my grandparents we would always have grilled cheeses made with government cheese and government butter (as opposed to the Kraft slices and margarine we had at home), cooked in Grandma’s cast iron skillet and in summer, they would be topped with slices of fresh tomato from Grandad’s garden. They were amazing.

Growing up I thought manwich was cannes meat and super gross. It wasn't until my late 30s that I met my husband did I realize it was a can of spiced tomato sauce. My spouse really likes old school recipes but tuna noodle casserole is a bridge too far for me.

It’s not really…the stuff in a can is just sauce. You are cooking the beef and onion and if you want to make from scratch it is very easy to make the sauce from tomato paste, brown sugar, and some spices. Make your own buns if you want or buy some good ones from a bakery. You don’t have to use cheap gross buns.

Well a good reason is that these kinds of comments belong on Diet and Exercise and not here. You can report them to Jeff for being off-topic.

Things I make from my childhood:

-Stuffed green peppers
-fluffer nutter sandwiches (peanut butter and marshmallow)
-fried egg and cheese sandwich
-Swedish meatballs


I should bring back sloppy joes. My kids would like. I tried the lentil version and it was an epic fail. Even I thought it was gross and I love lentils.

Knorr Spinach Dip

Yum! I still see it a lot at parties.

It has those water chestnuts in it that a PP was missing!

Get ready for the anti-mayo chick to faint from the vapors!

I made "pizza burgers" the other day. Organic hamburger meat (my choice), pizza sauce, sauted red onion, nice buns, melty cheese and a broiler. I'm practically vegetarian, but randomly saw the recipe and got a weird, huge craving and made them for my family at lunch. They insisted on calling them sloppy joes and I called them pizza burgers. It was funny!

Wow, government cheese. My super cheap parents would get that.
Yes to stuffed peppers, "Hawaiian meatballs" , TANG, wonder bread, Spam and Durkee sauce, meat loaf...
I just asked Mom and dad to send me a cocktail party recipe ..it was like a broiled onion and mayo toast. Delish. And they served Glug a lot.

If your palate is so limited that you reject another region or country's food, then you're not sophisticated, you're a picky eater. Which is fine, but you need to recognize that it's a problem you have, and keep those childish xenophobic thoughts to yourself.


Yes, there is nothing more tiresome than an adult who is a “picky eater.”

Remember that "chicken chow mein" kit you could buy from a company called La Choy? It was virtually tasteless even though full of soy sauce and msg -- I'm not even sure how that is possible.

Also -- chicken ala king, chipped beef on toast, french bread pizza, kool-aid, Tab, welsh rarebit, chicken kiev (they had frozen ones at the grocery store), turkey divan (it used up some of the leftover Thanksgiving turkey), Pepperidge Farm pound cake (they still have it in the store though). Do people buy raisin bread anymore?

But yeah, sloppy joes would be on my list too -- we had them (the "Manwich" canned stuff with ground beef) and I never liked them. They make the bread soggy -- yuck.
