Plan Z posted:The weird thing about American Chop Suey is that it's just macaroni with tomato sauce and hamburger, but we had to give it some weird '50s cookbook name. Johnny Marzetti is pretty much the same thing, and it's the blandest goddamn thing my mom ever made, a travesty (if I recall correctly, her family affectionately called it "slop" when she was growing up). Of course it originated in Ohio

Rollersnake posted:I think my favorite baffling regional American food is "American chop suey." Looks like what folks from my neck of the woods call goulash. And it's delicious as well as being cheap as gently caress to make. The name "American Chop Suey" is hilarious though because the other chop suey was invented in California  Iron Crowned posted:I moved to Cincinnati 3 years ago, and I still can't bring myself to try Cincinnati Chili. You should at least once. Cincinnati-style chili is pretty good! Lots of Chili Chiang Kai-sheks itt talkin' smack

Manuel Calavera posted:You live near The Strip, then Yeah, I'm on the North Side. And apparently can't judge distance, it's closer to a 3mi, 45 minute walk than a 20 minute saunter. I've only gone to the strip on two wheels and that, you know, goes quick. I'm in reasonable walking distance of Stage AE and the rest of the area down that end, too. It's nice, though I don't get out as much as I used to.

MariusLecter posted:It is. Nah, it's basically a soup with a tomato juice base, with ground beef, elbow macaroni (ANY OTHER PASTA RUINS IT OK), green peppers, petite diced tomatoes, onion, and "seasonings." Whichever way you choose to spice it up is up to you, but it's usually Italian seasoning, garlic powder/salt, bay leaves, and salt & pepper. Put that poo poo in a pot and cook it until the pasta is way overdone, then you scoop it out and eat it

The sauce is powdered, and when mixed in, is more of a paste, really.

You post this things but to be honest it tasted like abject poverty. The cheese powder had no fats to help thicken it so the slimey noodles would not hold the sauce making the sickening artificial sauce become a puddle under the depressing noodles

Sakurazuka posted:What is 'hamburger helper' and how does it help? Hamburger Helper helps your hamburger make a great meal Either you are a non-statesian or you grew up super wealthy and also never watched TV We ate a lot of Hamburger Helper as kids because as a new single dad in his 30's it was all my dad could make. These days I actually like it and have it often. E: tuna and chicken helper are abominations tho so is shake'n'bake E2: as bad as the Helper family of dried noodles and powdered sauce may be, the stupidest one we ever had was Chicken Tonight!, which was literally just a jar of sauce to simmer chicken in. titties has a new favorite as of 23:12 on Dec 15, 2015 |

That or how my moms boyfriend decided to use his belt to drag a 20lb catfish we found dying in a tiny stream into a cooler in our pinto, where he kept his budweiser, using the belt to slide into the gills from one side to the other. I think he even lifted it like a trophy. Edit: phone postin'
