Foods/Meals people no longer seem to eat. Ex: Do people no longer eat sloppy joes?

Thanks, all. Now I want a Sloppy Joe with a side of tater tots!

Spaghetti-Os!!!! I was trying to explain it to my 16yo just the other day and she kept thinking I meant tomato soup with circular-shaped pasta in it. I was like, “No, no! Not a soup! Like a pasta dish in a can.” lol

My extended family still eat Sloppy Joes and we do too when we visit. If they are made correctly, they are quite good.

I loved those as a kid. Anything in the Chef Boyardee can was delish.

Oh my. Now you need to buy them and have a taste test with her.
I have let my teens try tang, ovaltine, twinkies. They mostly hate everything. It's possible that my cooking is so much better but also that these things don't taste as good as I remember! 😂😂😂

Yes- shake shack actually serves the same crispy (oven?) fries I remember from my school lunches and I had serious nostalgia.

My mother used to make chruscikis. I miss them. You can't get good Polish food in this area. Yes, I am peasant trash from eastern Europe.

Fondue. The kits with the cheese/wine stuff to heat and little forks for the bread cubes. Height of elegance when I was a kid

Springerle cookies..anise flavored in press molds with designs. Christmas time. Rum balls rolled in cocoa.

Twinkies are not the same.

Jello is one I grew up with that we never eat, but recently I made a jello cake for my grandma's birthday. She always made them for us growing up. I bought more jello than I needed so I made a box for my kids and they thought it was the best thing ever!

My kids LOVE jello.

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.

I was wondering when someone would post about chicken a la king!

This is why 'american food' is such a joke.. sloppy joes are the grossest trash ever invented. A poor cow had to die to create that monstrosity of a dish.

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?

A lot. And this is easily Googled.

You have the burden of proof, PP. Nobody has to Google because you say jump.

And nobody needs to explain 1+1 = 2, either, but here we are.

I probably haven't had it in over 35 years, but I do remember liking it -- even though when I look up how to make it it does not sound good at all.
