bringmyfishback posted:Also, I have contributed to the thread. I was forced to do a "cooking class" in last year's winter English camp. I refuse to let third graders near fire, and I don't see the point in forcing 25 kids to line up to use a single microwave, so I needed stuff that didn't involve actual cooking. Enter "pizza sandwiches": Ritz crackers, sliced ham, shredded mozzarella, ketchup, and a sprinkling of basil. Sadly, they were pretty drat tasty. That's pretty ingenious. I bet the kids had a blast making them. THE MAID-RITE  If you're thinking "wow that looks like something poor folk eat in the Midwestern U.S.," you're correct! Maid-Rite is a chain of restaurants that specializes in "loose meat" sandwiches. They're pretty cheap and surprisingly tasty for being steamed Grade D ground beef on a plain bun. They make a Texas BBQ sandwich that has onions and pickles on it and is drenched in barbeque sauce. I'm not a messy eater, but I need a change of clothes and a shower after one of those things--it gets everywhere.

JacquelineDempsey posted:So... what's the difference between making a hamburger and a loose meat, besides skipping the step where you squish the meat into a patty? My uneducated guess is that you can make a fuckton of loose meat, in proper midwest steam-tray/casserole/hot dish style, and feed legions by just having some buns without the fuss of having to grill or fry anything. Your guess is correct. You just steam a vat of ground beef with some chopped onions in it and spoon it out as needed. It's super popular in public school lunch programs because of how cheap it is and how easy it is to prepare. It's also great for picnics and family gatherings for the same reasons. Way easier than making patties, lighting up the grill, etc.

Turfahurf posted:This is my dad's go-to thing to make when my mom is out-of-state visiting friends or whatever. He calls it American Chop Suey but he's from Boston area so I dunno if that's regional or just something he made up. It's pretty bland but edible. I'd never heard of it being called "American Chop Suey" but the name is really funny considering the original chop suey was invented in the U.S.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:It tastes like calamari rings? Someone told me about that urban legend with a straight face and total sincerity, and I had no idea how to respond. I'm gonna start a "popular food X is secretly made of awful thing!" urban myth. You know Wyler's bouillon cubes? They're made of dried and compressed cow farts. If you look at the label, it doesn't say "Ingredients: cow farts" because they exploited a loophole in the FDA's rules about disclosing non-food ingredients.

pentyne posted:Mixing canned soups with batch of pasta is actually "advanced cooking" compared what most people thing is cuisine. The Soylent threads in GBS has proven that internet nerds actually think a second of food prep is some unobtainable goal and they are forced to chug cumshakes as an alternative despite the vastly superior alternatives out there. It ain't just Internet nerds, dude--there are tons of people in the real world that literally do not know how to make boxed mac & cheese, rice, pasta, etc. You probably encounter at least one of these people every day. Asking one of them to add a can of soup or chili to the mac & cheese after preparing it would be like asking him or her to solve the Pompeiu problem.

Aesop Poprock posted:Not living in the midwest and having never gone to church outside of a few times with friends/for funerals or weddings I would totally try a hashbrown or tatertot casserole at least once Tatertot casserole is pretty good (and very cheap), but it's definitely not something I'd eat all the time. As a side note, one good thing about being from the Midwest is that when there's a family gathering, as long as you bring anything other than a casserole, you're practically guaranteed not to bring the same thing as someone else

FetusSlapper posted:I appreciate your rage disrupting your grammar. I'm not sure how to process the existence of such a product. At what price point does it become better to get a case of pabst or some other doghair brew to justify buying pre-spiced cups for said macrospew. Thinking back, however, I do remember a lot of the party stores in Michigan having little packets of lemon/lime salt you could just buy for 3 /dollar with no real explanation. I always figured those were for some kind of tequila based martini or something. They're actually pretty good  Can't find them easily here in the Midwest, but I was in eastern Texas a few weeks ago and was tripping over the drat things.

I remember him saying that his real house is neat and tidy.

exquisite tea posted:One of my Facebook acquaintances uploads food pictures all the time. Every photo comes with a generous description and lighting that makes it look like it was prepared in a 2000s-era horror movie murderhouse. I love the paper plates. I really love the biscuits-from-a-tube topped with premade gravy. Lowest effort meal this side of a cheese sandwich. Only two things to clean (the baking sheet and the fork--you know he or she just dumped the gravy straight from the bag like a animal) and no real "cooking" necessary.

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:No, not at all. Wedding cake in the US is less edible than that, with more rolled fondant, sculpted fondant, architectural fondant, fondant-bearing fondant, and insulating fondant. There might actually be some cake involved in it somewhere, supported by dowels and cardboard so it doesn't crash through the fondant. Some of you might be laughing at this post but holy poo poo it's pretty accurate My sister insisted on an enormous fondant cake for her wedding, against the advice of pretty much everyone. "Sis, it's gross and has the texture of drywall putty; nobody's gonna eat it, just go with the regular frosting so you can serve something actually edible." "NO I MUST HAVE THE PRETTIEST CAKE AND FONDANT IS PRETTY, EVERYONE WILL EAT IT AND LOVE IT"
