Fish sticks can he used to make a reasonable quick and easy facsimile of a fish taco if you shred them and use seasonings and make a sauce but I'm pretty sure that's not what was happening and I'm lolling at the idea of sticking a sad looking whole fish stick into a tortilla as a meal.

It was the latter. My parents then beat my in-laws at making a bad meal a month later by making a soup for a vegetarian that had fake cheese and other vegan ingredients that wouldn't be too bad by themselves, and then dumped a whole can of chicken broth in it.

You put several of them onto bamboo skewers and baste them with tare/teriyaki/satay sauce as you grill them.

Or a mix of orange and lime juice and dust with chili powder.

my brother, our buddy and I got out of a Sleep concert a long time ago and the only place open to buy anything was a Wal-Mart supercenter and we ended up making dirty rice with chicken hearts and livers because it was the only available meat at 3AM, back in the before times when you could go to a store past 10PM here.

It wasn't the best dirty rice I've ever had, but it was extremely serviceable.

The circumstances surrounding this event may have colored the reception, as well.

When I was 10 my friend's family invited me to have lunch with them, and they served some kind of really thin soup with what I now know is fermented broth. This was way outside my palette range at that age. I don't remember how I reacted, but they sent me home whenever they had lunch from then on.

Chicken hearts are pretty tasty, it’s basically just muscle. More lean than other chicken parts.

I ate the heart of the chicken I slaughtered in an animal husbandry course. It was pretty metal

I once remember as a kid having grape jelly and meatballs somewhere and no, no. It was like unnaturally metallic sweetness but with meat.

Huh.

I worked at a soda plant 18 years ago and we had regular potlucks. Someone would make and bring this exact dish in in a crockpot every time. I tried it once. It was savory and sweet and honestly not half-bad, but I would not admit to liking it. It was something different, though.

Bear in mind it was the late 90s, so I have a feeling that the grape jelly used was loaded with artificial sweeteners, similar kind of metallic twang.

If I had it today, it’d probably be lightyears better.

It’s common to cook little smokies in a crock pot with bbq sauce and grape jelly. I’m not a huge fan - bbq sauce alone is good - but most people seem to enjoy them at the parties I’ve seen them served.

Not me personally but growing up I learned that one of my best friends absolutely hated vegetables. It was because his parents were horrible cooks.

One of his examples was a yearly fall dinner that was essentially just boiling a whole chicken.

Pan frying broccoli with a little salt and oil blew his loving mind.

Now with less breakage.

I'd at least try it. It sounds like the same kind of idea as cranberry jelly or lingonberry jam on meat, and those work well enough. Grape sounds too sweet and not tart enough, but I'll admit I'm kind of curious now.

Its a tailgate staple and doesn't really read as "sausages in jelly". Most American BBQ sauce is already loaded with sugar so it just sort of makes its own sauce and is sweet smokey and salty. They're good in a trashy superbowl food kinda way.

Yeah if it’s a tart grape, I could see it working decently. Not as tart as lingon, which I love, just not with savory things.

Actually now that I think of it, I’ve never liked a meat-fruit paring. Love the Brady Bunch, pork chops and apple sauce wasn’t exactly my thing as a kid.

These aren't that.
I mean, they are small sausages but the ones in a can are more 'mushy hot dog' and lil smokies are closer to like a brat or Italian sausage in texture, firmer with a courser ground interior (though not flavor profile, if anything the flavor would be pretty close to landjaeger

(Lil smokies are nothing like those canned weiners... its not a paste and it has a bite to the casing although i have no idea what its made of or what it might be similar to in other countries... its pretty Midwestern i'd guess. They come in a bag pre-cooked and you just toast them in a skillet until they brown and pop, drain the fat, dump them in a slow cooker with some form of BBQ sauce and hand out tooth picks and little plates)

they are pretty good even just as a breakfast sausage though with some eggs.

One time a :airquote: friend :airquote: served up enchiladas made with cream of mushroom soup. Just a grey slime covered tube of a single texture gooshing unpleasant mushroom taste as you bite into. Completey inedible. This is after a solid week of this lady talking up her BEST IN THE WORLD enchiladas. I knew the lady wasn't a great cook but come the hell on. It was like eating grey eggroll that you dip into a big glass of mushroom milk between every bite. Blasphemous rear end enchilada.


How about you goons?

I always think it's funny when people make enchiladas with zero chile. The word basically means "all chile-ed up". That is just a tortilla casserole.

Anyway, to answer the question: probably hostess snack cakes that were full of ants.

Sorry, but the people have spoken.



When I was about 10 I went over to a friend's place for supper for the first time. They made an entire stock pot of Kraft Dinner macaroni and each person had about the equivalent to 4 servings on gigantic dinner plates. I got through about a sixth of it and then was yelled at by his family members for wasting food.
