The foods you are describing as "classic" is something only a 60+ year old American would think "classic" for your cohort. I never eat those foods and my children are growing up with a completely different set of recipes than whst their great-grandparents and grandparents consumed.

DP but congrats, I guess? Here's your head pat.

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.

Do other countries like France use less processed mayo?

Everything is less processed in other parts of the world. There are so many nasty food stuffs in the US that would be illegal in virtually every other industrialized 1st world country on the planet. They're allowed to put all sorts of nasty ingredients in American food under the assumption that they're generally recognized as safe, while in Europe every ingredient that goes in msit actually be proven to be safe. Even raw chicken in the US is gross, because they chlorinate it. US food is toxic garbage. It kills the population everyday, yet Americans live with their heads in the same about their terrible food.

Blech. Hamburger loaf covered with sugar infused ketchup. No wonder Americans are so diabetic. Who likes sugar sprinkled ground beef? Apparently Americans do.

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.

I think we can all agree it depends heavily on the meatloaf.

Meatloaf is delicious. And it's real food.

Meat loaf had a good run out west in the 2010s. Lots of brewpubs and the like were serving scratch “secret recipe” meatloaf with potatoes and a veggie due to the gf/crowd. Haven’t seen it on menus as much since moving out here.

Chutzpah's has a pretty good meatloaf. I am pretty sure it's not kosher, but I don't want to ask because it's so good.

But I certainly do remember when La Choy was in style and the school was serving "chop suey". It was my least favorite day. Did anyone like the bamboo shoots, celery, water chestnuts all served up in a gluey mass that tasted like snot? My mom tried to serve it to us and we all rebelled.

I'm pretty sure it was made with cream of mushroom soup and it was ultra salty.

That's something that's gone out of fashion, those condensed soup recipes that were so common for a while there.

FWIW my boomer mom discovered recipes on the internet and it totally changed her cooking. She now makes Chana masala and tofu stir fry and we even handmade tortillas last Christmas instead of putting store bought ones in the microwave.

I make meatloaf in the fall and winter months. I made sloppy Joe’s last year and my kids liked them a lot. I didn’t use Manwich but it tasted just like that.

The whole "everything's better in Europe" crowd are tiring, because they usually went abroad as tourists and ate non every day food. Like actually try living there and eating food made by people with non restaurant cooking ability. Because you're comparing apples and oranges otherwise. Some home cooks are great some dreadful, just like in the US. Source: someone with actual European family who stays in a normal house when I visit.

Oh my gosh, yes. I felt like I was really cooking when that frozen sheet met the pan.

I used to eat a lot of Spaghetti-o’s with those weird little meatballs. And Chef Boyardee ravioli.
