My mother is making Cincinnati chili for dinner tonight. We live in Southern Ontario, and have never had it before. She's even putting in the cinnamon and cocoa. This is going to be interesting. I will post pictures.

Brawnfire posted:"shepherd's pie" being instant potatoes (because my sister wouldn't eat real real potatoes), shredded cheddar product, frozen mixed veggies cooked with greyed ground beef, and some canned gravy. WTF is wrong with your sister Otherwise, you just described a Midwest staple right there. Sometimes Mom would use Kraft singles instead of shredded cheese

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:WTF is wrong with your sister Oh definitely, sometimes those cheese food products are all you have. Or the ubiquitous shakey cheese.  Also, me and sis are polar opposites; she eats mostly meat, lots of pasta, and eschews all greens. Frightening, really, I'm sure with my family's stomach issues she feels like poo poo on the reg. I eat so many veggies. I eat meat, but usually limit my portions so I don't take a brick-poo poo. Lots of rice. I love rice! She says they look like maggots. I don't know how we came from the same parents.

My uncle is from Cincinnati and we would have Cincinnati chili from time to time at family gatherings when I was a kid and I thought it was delicious. I'm sure that glop out of a can stuff is horrendous, but I have found homemade to be quite good!

Brawnfire posted:She says they look like maggots. My grandfather categorically refused to eat rice. I thought it was weird, until he explained his aversion one day. Way back in the early 50's, when he was a sophomore in high school, his ag teacher took the class out to help a guy move a dead cow. Said cow had been baking in the sun for a couple of days, and was bloated and full of blowfly maggots. And, as they were hauling it on the trailer, it popped, and a tsunami of blowfly maggots covered everything. His ag class was the class right before lunch. The class cleaned up, and marched into the cafeteria, only to discover that the starch of the day? Was rice. And from that day onwards, if you served him rice, all he could see was a nice plateful of blowfly maggots.

I like that the corndogs are already heated up. They're not even going to try and melt the cheese, no, they're just going to eat it like that.

Agreed on Pizagequiche. Anyhow, here's the Korma soup I mentioned like 6 pages back. I can't describe how gross this looked and tasted. It was still cold, so the picture doesn't how off how watery this was (I was wrong at first, she just poured tons of water instead of stock into it):  I came by for another visit a few days later, and noticed nobody ate it. I offered to touch it up and re-serve it, but mom did not have it. She said she wanted the "stew" for the whole week. After 27 years of knowing the woman, nobody would eat it including here, and she'd throw it away, blaming everyone else for wasting it. So, I put it on the stove anyway, and started reducing it and touching it up with craploads of garam masala, salt, pepper, and chilies, until it got some actual flavor. Then my mom, trying to get some kind of control, started yelling to put a bunch of andouille sausage that she bought into it. I didn't complain, and this is how it ended up:  Tasted alright, despite the watery-slop rice that my mother insisted I keep putting water into. I think she genuinely can not agree with a human being on even simple points purely out of pride. I don't think she's ever made a recipe to the word, insisting on her own version without even knowing what the food is. I wish I had my old phone that had photos of mom's cuisine. My ex genuinely made gargling dry heaves when I showed her the picture I took of mom's curry soup. Plan Z has a new favorite as of 21:46 on Dec 14, 2015 |

It's allegedly a home delivery bacon burger. I can identify some undercooked bacon, a pickle and salad. The rest is a mystery. The red liquid is probably ketchup?

ErIog posted:Not saying your grandma is necessarily a racist, but with old folks there's sometimes an aversion to pizza due to racism against Italians. My grandfather always considered pizza and most other ethnic foods to be "snacks," and would never countenance eating them as proper meals. He never at snacks either, really, though, so "that's a snack! not a meal!" was just his way of saying "get hosed!" And then there are middle-aged people who've never had pizza or any other 'exotic' food before and whom are afraid of trying new things. That's my parents. They were both born in the early 50's in East Germany. By the time 1989 rolled around, they had had homemade pizza of sorts maybe three times and it tasted nothing like traditional pizza. It just wasn't an available food in that country. Same with Asian food, French food, American (lol) food.....essentially nothing but basic ingredients and German food mixes/kits were available, so that's all they knew for the first 40 years of their lives. I have since moved to the US. Whenever they visit, my wife and I try to get them to go to Thai places, good Italian restaurants, Indian, etc. Mostly their response is a whole lotta NOPE. The only Chinese food they eat is sweet & sour chicken. Any time they are in a Chinese restaurant, that's what they get. They don't even care for Greek food all that much, which is crazy for Germans. I should try to drag them to a Sushi joint next time just for the reaction.

Nothing could save this. A big fat lobe of pate in the middle could not save this. A Big Mac on top could not save this. I feel bad for the cow that died to bring this into existence. I am retroactively apologizing for everything I have ever done, I am so remorseful for eating this. Please kill me.

Ground zero is Cedar Rapids, Iowa - the closer your origin to there, the more you have a taste for bland one-dish meals. I hear if you're actually born there you get cream-based casserole in your bottle instead of milk.

And I also really like onions, I was just saying they couldn't save this. @Pastry of the Year: You're right, my mom's chili is great with tons of flavour. This Cincinnati stuff she made tonight was a horrible experiment that just didn't work.

Oh, God, speaking of moms and cooking, I am going to go see my parents for a week on Friday ( ) and she makes these pierogis that are SO GOOD but look SO WEIRD and they're always really gigantic, like the size of large oranges. Also, she will be sending me home with cabbage rolls, which are the ultimate AFP.
