My mom grew up in the Midwest and would make hotdish a lot when I was growing up but it was ground beef with like corn, canned tomatoes, kidney beans and macaroni noodles all mixed up together in a big skillet. You could definitely tell it was a Midwest dish because it was bland af

Ummmmmm, no, not the best bachelor chow. Think meat paste. Undifferentiated meat paste. Usually even more than one kind of meat even.

Of the eighties? Do you live in some sort of weird anomaly where you get crazes from the future or something? People still freak out about that kinda poo poo. I mean, hell, we've had people freak out in here the last time that came up because of the exact reason you gave.

3. Butter costs about 10x as much as most of those things and is also hard to spread on soft bread if kept refrigerated.

Okay HOLD THE gently caress UP

We're going cooking comically on these busted rear end steaks and we're gonna RESPECT the cow that died here

You make up some goddamned dirty rice. Google it. Meat involves Pork, shrimp, chicken, sausage and your burnt af steaks. Cut that steak into little bits and mix it in with the rest of the rice. Eat it. Think about what you've done and vow to buy a meat thermometer.

/CC

but yeah, they're overcooked but not inedible. Hope you like drowning them in creole spices (surprisingly good that way imo)

Or just bust out the A1 Sauce and marinate em for an hour then eat. Self-flagellation for your sin against God's creatures is optional

Has anyone mentioned Goetta yet?

It comes in Tubes:



And it looks like this when cooked:


It's a food that's unique to the Cincinnati area, and everyone who was born and raised here loves it. I'm a transplant so when someone convinced me it was good I blindly believed them and well, it wasn't. Not to mentioned apparently the only thing you do with it is fry it

Spaghetti Hitler Mussolini time:

Spaghetti is always pasta (unless it's spaghetti squash, I guess), but not all pasta is spaghetti. Don't use the terms interchangeably or I swear to god I'll---

If you use the terms "pisketti" and "sketti" unironically and you are over the age of eight, you are a goddamn idiot. I will hunt you down. I will find you.

Put a bit of oil in your pasta during and after boiling and it won't stick. It's not difficult, nor is it a mystery.

Ketchup is not a pasta sauce. Tomato soup (which I've also seen people use in lieu of tomato sauce) is not a pasta sauce. Cheap, real tomato sauce is $1 for a big can. Jesus loving christ, America.

You don't need to throw spaghetti at a wall to see if it's done. Try a bit, you know, like a loving adult. It's not a clever solution because it is neither clever, nor is there a problem we haven't already solved here.

Some of this makes me irrationally angry. When I hear "pisketti," I just about lose my mind.

Fine, his hair is unappetizing. Sorry if you've never seen a neckbeard goatee before, but they do exist, and even if that is not one of them and it's just his head hair it is still the grossest part of the picture.

vv you must be looking at a more complete picture than I am. My point is eating bugs isn't inherently gross

That does look quote nice though. You're proving yourself wrong in the same post!

I've got to wonder about the logistics. Do they split a pineapple every time someone orders that? I don't think you can just hand a pineapple with grains of rice and sauce smears sticking to it to the dishwasher and expect to get it back sparkly clean for the next customer.
