What was it? I have this memory of my mom making something called goulash that was appalling to me as a kid.  But now I do not remember what it was.  I just remember fearing it.[/quote]

I grew up in WI and we were force fed goulash. I remember watching my dad make it in a deep sided electric skillet and cringing. It was a wretched mix of ground beef, tomatoes, pasta and some other sh!t. Tasted like trash. I’m gagging just thinking about it. [/quote]

Well that is not goulash. I thought goulash was a variation of beef stew.[/quote]

Hungarian goulash or gulyás is a hearty beef and vegetable soup.  Goulash in other European countries (gulasch, gulasz, etc.) is thicker, like a stew, and served over potatoes or dumplings.  American goulash (otherwise known as American chop suey or slumgullion) is what happened to goulash when it emigrated to the US.  It turned into a Hamburger Helper or Beefaroni-like concoction of meat sauce and elbow macaroni.[/quote]

Thanks for the explanation. I'm first generation on my mom's side so we had goulash that was more of "the real thing." We had white bread 'Merican food when my dad was in the kitchen.[/quote]

Wait, you all hated this stuff? What’s to hate? It’s basically homemade hamburger helper. I still make it for myself as an adult...

I ate a wide variety of foods across several cultures when I was growing up and loved almost all of it. I think most of the posts on this thread sound really good (except the mayo on fruit and mayo on jello ones.... can't quite conjure up how those would be good).[/quote]
