If your cranberry sauce is not shaped like a can, what are you even doing with your life?

HAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Love stove top stuffing, I’m with you

Our favorite childhood casserole was Stove Top mixed with chopped chicken and topped with cheddar, then baked. The final dish is magically greater than the sum of its parts. Stove Top lovers, you wanna try this!

This sounds amazing!!! I'm gonna try it!!! Thanks!!!

Canned yams with marshmallows. Sending DH out to get the ingredients this morning. I’m the only one who loves it and I don’t care.

Ironically, it said this meal was “vegetarian,” despite the use of bacon fat. Lol

Back then, most people looking for meatless meals were doing so for economic reasons, not on principle or for health reasons. Hats off to the creativity of a test kitchen that managed to concoct this atrocity.

People sneer at spinach-artichoke dip? I swear, there are people on DCUM who will call anything tacky or low class. Sometimes the absurdity of it all makes me want to post random questions, like “are park benches tacky?” to see if anyone takes the bait.

Today, I am unapologetically serving spinach-artichoke dip with crackers. I know that is one of the retro foods a lot of snobs on here sneer at, but it’s good!

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for this thread and everyone on it. Love the lack of food snobbery here.

I do not want real whipped cream, or even spray cream from a can. I just want a lot of cool whip on my one slice of pie. Look away if you can't handle it.

Seriously. The ratio of Cool Whip to pie should be at least 3 to 1.

I'm on board with this 10000% but I like hellmans mayo and no mustard. Also have you tried fried bologna???

DP: Yum! I haven’t had fried bologna since I was a kid. We used to buy the bologna in rolls, so the slices were thick. With mayo, mustard, and sometimes dill pickles. Even better though was Taylor ham. No condiments needed.
And scrapple! Let’s not forget scrapple.

Heinz baked beans.

I saw a TV show last night where they were making egg and chips for dinner and man, I want to go and get a bag of oven fries and just eat egg and chips. Maybe with a chip butty on the side.

No thank you to the Cranberry Orange sauce with Grand Marnier and lemon zest. I’ll take two lines of Ocean Spray, please.

PS - I had to look up Bavarois. It looks DELICIOUS!

I only know what Bavarois is from watching The Great British Baking Off. They have so many varied desserts. In America it's mostly just cakes, pies, and cookies. All very simply prepared.

I just looked up Bavarois, and it’s something I’d like to try. I do panna cotta a lot — and sometimes make it with egg nog.
