"This is what happens when you lobotomize half the women, and put the other half on qualudes", my partner xD

So there's a comfort-food staple at my house that's distressingly close to this, but sounds even worse.

It's 1 can cream of mushroom, one can cream of chicken, one can of green peas, and one can of tuna heated in a skillet. That unholy mixture is then stacked on tops of layers of toast and seasoned with lemon pepper.

It looks like the kind of food that would attack Calvin in the old comics, but my family loves it. I'm not sure how good it actually is, or if it's just the comfort food from when we were really poor and that was a feast for us.

Yeah thanks, I think I don't want any of that either but you do you

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 43 points 3 days ago

I've noticed that American recipes often have ingredients like "1 packet (brand name) (foodstuff)". I wonder if this kind of advert is how it started.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 13 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure that's exactly how that started. Much easier to sell more of your industrially made foodstuff if you give people some ideas about what to do with it.

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

I fear soup over waffles is a poor example of that but I understand.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Lots of American food companies use recipes on the box to give the buyer an idea of what to make. This was a part of American food packaging going back to the Depression; learning to work with what we had was the lesson of the period. It was a time of searching for what was cheap and learning how to make it palatable.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Also quite a few packages include recipes.

  • my family recipe for pecan pie has always been from the bottle of Karo Syrup
  • green stuff I made for New Years was originally from a package of Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding
  • family pumpkin pie recipe was from a can of pumpkin

TFW grandma finally hands down her secret recipe book and they're all clipped from boxes of supermarket food items and adverts in Good Housekeeping.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That happens all the time too. I've heard people more than once tell me they found out that their traditional family recipe for whatever came from the back of a box of Bisquick.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Use more of (brand name’s) stuff to sell more. That’s all there was to it. No idea why on Earth some of these were so horrendous, though.

It's just the Great Value version of fried chicken and waffles.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago

When all the flavor buds were covered by cigarette tar

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

That's not a recipe, that is bio-terrorism.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago

If you want to watch a fabulously flamboyant gay man cook disgusting vintage recipes check out "Eye Spy Antiques" on YT.

A lot of fun.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago

I was assuming you were talking about B Dylan Hollis until you got to the name of the channel.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Worth checking out?

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Holy shit, thank you for pointing out this dudes channel, he is fucking hilarious. I was hoping someone would cook these shitty recipes and try them out.

Edit: "gonna taste like shit, but it's stunning" ROFL

This dude is great

[-] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 6 points 3 days ago

Looked it up. That dude looks like he really enjoys making videos.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Lol you weren't joking. This dude is cracking himself up.https://youtu.be/3eNDNCe4rRw

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Absolutely. I'm having fun watching because he is clearly having fun creating.

Chicken of the sea and waffles?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Why? Why does every old weird recipe from the 1950s and 1960s include olives?

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 42 points 4 days ago

Is this what they are referring to when they say they want to "make America great again"?

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

I've been watching "Sandwiches of History" on YT lately and I believe sometime in the 1980s people realized food could taste good

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

And they used to sit us down and scream at us until we ate every laat bit of it.

I actually don't think this would be bad. Growing up, my mom used to make tuna casserole and it was one of my favorite casseroles. Looking at the recipe, this is mostly the same, except you sub noodles for waffles. What's one carb for another? I could do without the olives though...

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 18 points 4 days ago

Expert troll, my friend. But you can't fool me.

[-] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 9 points 4 days ago

Yeah, people do savory waffles all the time, it's just waffles with a mushroom and tuna soup, kinda think it would taste good? Like a savory pastry maybe? Then again I'm also the kind of deviant who loves olives.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

might be slightly better than some of the stuff they put in jell-o back then.

also note the size of can tuna used to come in... SEVEN OUNCES (compared to the 5oz ones we've had now for like 15+ years)

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

But that 7oz of 50s tuna was also like 20% dolphin by weight. It's 5 ounces of tuna.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

That recipe says for 4. So that’s actually not a lot of tuna per person.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

I dunno. 1.75 oz of tuna on my waffle is far too much tuna on my waffle.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Tuna waffle is gonna be the next big thing.

Amateur night compared to creamed corn bologna boats.

I really hate that so many memories of my one grandmother were being traumatized by these jello atrocities.

Doesn't sound bad tbh..i like savory waffles. Don't sugar the dough (no idea if thats a thing, just guessing) and you are good to go

[-] taanegl@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 days ago

This is why we need to build the wall...! From the south Atlantic to the north Atlantic. The yankie threat can not go unabated.

Also, this is fitting punishment for the Belgians. They - and the entire world - knows they they did.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a name for food made by using other pre-packaged foods together to make something new, but I always forget the term for it. SCOP always pushes itself to the front of my mind, but that's just the basis for a lot of the packaged food (Single Celled Organic Protiens to make synthetic meats and such).

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

Slop, perhaps?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

It might be potato waffles

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago
[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

It’s honestly not that far from a tuna melt if you think about it.

[-] anarchyrabbit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I can't remember what the movie was, but there is a scene where someone eats a tuna melt at a diner. Shortly after they go to the toilet to throw up. I can't eat tuna melt since that day.
