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

I actually buy the packaged hamburger helper and I have a pack of shake and bake in my pantry too haha. I don't eat sloppy joes though.

I consider these junk/convenience foods. Not great for every day, but sometimes you need to get food on the table super quick and not have to think about it. I actually really like making homemade hamburger helper (https://damndelicious.net/2018/09/16/creamy-beef-and-shells/ ) but I still buy the packs when they go on sale.

1 tablespoon butter
▢1 pound lean ground beef (85/15)
▢1 small onion chopped (4 ounces)
▢1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ teaspoon of any other salt)
▢¼ teaspoon black pepper
▢1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
▢½ cup unsweetened ketchup
▢½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Yes, this sounds horrendous! I might die from it!

Hmm. So what do you eat?

Garlic AND pepper in a dish? Are you trying to kill someone?

I once convinced a friend who was making a "Korean Beef Bowl" for her DH to use freshly grated ginger and fresh garlic instead of powdered both, and he wouldn't eat it because it was too spicy!

Rearrange the ingredients of sloppy joes and you have pasta bolognese.

Lol, no you do not.

So much salt in both the meals you mention. No thanks! But, why does it matter what other people eat?

But you eagerly commented on what PP eats!!

Hypocrite.

This is what this site is for. What I was saying is if op likes the food than it doesn't matter who in the world eats it. I was not saying no one should comment on the food choices.
I'm going to assume the best and that you did not understand what I was saying.

There are things as a child I ate and enjoyed but, now cannot eat for health reasons and the fact my taste buds changed. How does that make me a hypocrite?
I used to like chocolate shakes and chocolate ice cream with jimmies. Now I think they are too sweet.

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.

I make sloppy joes. It's one of my husband's favorite meals. I have a few variations. Sometimes replace part of the meat with lentils or mushrooms.

No wonder Americans are obese and 50% of adults will soon have obesity.

Just dumpster food like 80% ground beef with tons of ketchup served on a nice high fructose corn syrup white bread bun manufacturerd to have a shelf life of weeks.🤮🤮

Why is this important to you? And how do you know what other people have had for dinner recently? This is so strange to me

How are deviled eggs, hummus and guacamole (the last two dips I served) and potato salad made from scratch "nasty ultra processed American foods"?

I agree. It’s cheap processed food for the masses. I’ve never had it neither have my kids. We’re not rich by any means but I just can’t…..

How exactly is it processed? What are you eating that isn't "processed"? That doesn't really mean what you think it does.

NP. Homemade sloppy joes are fine, but Hamburger Helper and Shake n Bake are clearly boxed, processed foods. This isn’t really up for discussion.

A deviled egg is delicious. So is potato salad. Also potato salad is a german? And tzatiki is dip, not American. But, your attitude is poor and life is sad. Have a better day.

I think you mean figuratively.

Hamburger helper is the name of a convenience food that made a dish more convenient. It’s literally beef, gravy, cream and noodles. I’m sure it existed long before the name. We now add sour cream and call it stroganoff.

Sloppy joes are basically chili. Which is also beef, tomato sauce and spices. Also a meal that has existed for God only knows how long.

We do? Now? I don’t know anyone who’s eaten stroganoff in 40 years.

I agree with the general gist of your sentiments, but I just can’t quit pigs in a blanket. They are so scrumptious!

I'll throw in tuna noodle casserole.

I made my kids tuna noodle casserole last spring and they loved it. Now it’s on the list of meals they make when it’s their turn to make dinner.

We regularly make deviled eggs (with avocado filling and a variety of flavors) in our house as after school snacks.
