Seconding that people still use gelatin for non-dessert atrocities, particularly aspic.

Most of the biggest food sins were committed in the 1950s through 1970s, though. The 1980s chased away the wartime rationing and brought a time of excess where people didn't need to stretch their food by suspending it inside a cube of jiggle.

Some people think jizzing honey/vinegar/sriracha over an open-faced sandwich is maybe a bit too moist.

Alternately, no matter how artistically you present it or how good it tastes, mashed avocado/guac looks like vom.

An avocado, radish and salt sandwich sounds pretty loving awful yeah

I mean, I suppose it's marginally better than an unseasoned rice cake. Mostly because it doesn't have the texture of packing material.

Seriously though that sandwich needs some flavor in it. At least throw in some vinagrette or cheese or something.

why is it that color

I tried to reverse-GIS to try to find out, and.. well.



It's not a good sign when Google is only tentatively certain that it is food at all.

EDIT: Finally found it!

quote:

4 to 4 1/2 pound stewing chick, cut up
3 quarts water
1 medium onion, cut into fourths
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon whole mixed pickling spice
2 cans (17 ounces each) whole kernel corn
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery (with leaves)
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Rivels (below)

Remove any excess fat from chicken. Heat chicken, giblets, neck, water, onion, 2 teaspoons salt and the pickling spice to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until thickest pieces of chicken are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Strain broth. Refrigerate chicken and broth separately.

Remove chicken from bones; remove skin if desired. Cut chicken into small pieces. Remove fat from broth. Heat broth, chicken, corn (with liquid) and celery to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Stir in eggs, 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Stir in Rivels. Cover and simmer 7 minutes. 10 to 12 servings.

Absolutely nothing about this explains why it's that color. Like if they subbed in pea soup I could see it, it would be disgusting but it would make sense.

There is no reason this soup should be green. And yet it is.

No, I think I get it. PA Dutch Chicken-Corn is slightly milky but not entirely opaque, bad lighting or shooting would make the color of the (otherwise sane amounts) celery spread out to the rest of the dish like an infection.

If we're still on drinks the worst cocktail I ever had is definitely the bullshot. It's cold canned beef broth and vodka. It was apparently popular in the sixties because people considered it healthy for some reason.

Turns out beef broth isn't too dissimilar from those "activated protein enzyme" protein shots, just with more poo poo like salt thrown in. So basically you were having the 1960s equivalent of a protein powder screwdriver. Honestly, it sounds like it would taste like someone vomming last night's beef jerky into your mouth. :barf:

"They said SALAD. DRESSING. MAYONNAISE!" comes angrily out of their dining partner. It's not that they wanted mayonnaise for their plates of grease and carbs, it's that they assumed that everyone would know that 'salad dressing' meant mayonnaise and I was a fool for suggesting otherwise.

I blame Kraft foods; Miracle Whip (aka that imitation mayonnaise poo poo) explicitly has the words "Salad Dressing" on the bottle.

Still, using that to refer to mayo and mayo-like products is strictly a Southern thing, as far as I know.

I was unaware American cheese was available in any form other than plastic square.

It also comes in plastic rectangle forms at the deli, where they can slice off the plastic squares for you. Or you can just buy it in bulk and, apparently, shred it on your microplane.

I regret not taking my phone with me to the local Waffle House. The only thing more depressing than a plate of hashbrowns with a single, sad kraft single melted atop it is the fact that I got it from a place that made me pay money for it.

It definitely is. There's a certain type of cake you only really get in America, made with incredibly light sponge that is basically cooked air, covered in an ungodly amount of "cream", which is a strange white substance consisting, again, mostly of air. Maybe it's not an official protected designation, but it's a very distinct confection that you don't get in quite the same form in other countries.

Also, seeing repeat mentions of prepackaged cake mix and "way too much frosting" makes me painfully aware that the standard buttertroll response to premade icing is "I got this container of frosting, it must be meant for one single cake! :downs:" and then they slather on an entire 16oz can of frosting on a 5"x8" cake and get diabetes.

Really, though, the big time to start running is if you start associating any American food at all with brand names. Kraft Dinner and Kraft Singles are abominations unto all that is edible. Wonder Bread is basically the most chemically overloaded, flavor-eradicated non-food you can put meat on. Etc, etc.

Mayo corollary: Japanese Mayo isn’t mayo and is cool and good.

Yeah, Japanese mayonnaise is closer to aioli than it is to the stuff you'd buy in an American Kroger. It's still got roughly the same texture (which is what makes mayo offputting for some people, like me) but it's a lot more flavorful.

American mayonnaise is a bland, flavorless travesty and Miracle Whip is that but with even less of everything decent, somehow.
