before we got married, my husband told me that if I EVER served him tuna noodle casserole, I would seriously be in the doghouse. Seems his mother made the stuff with the campbell’s soup and the potato chips on top on a regular basis. Personally, I don’t mind tuna noodle casserole, but not with the soup. Actually I don’t like ANYTHING that uses canned soup as a major ingredient, come to think of it….
Stickman,,,,,,That’s how I got broke from eatting spam. I ate so much of that stuff in the field that I throw up a little every time I see the stuff now.
My mother (admittedly) is not a good cook. So, most things she made were pretty bland and unappetizing. I especially disliked her “Stew”, it was a watery, unseasoned, combination of tough meat and root vegetables. It took me becoming physically sick from eating it before I was excused from eating it ever again. Ironically, I love to cook, and have been told I’m pretty good at it!
Liver and onions was not allowed in our house thanks to my dad. If mom wanted it for dinner, she had to order it out at a restaurant. Worst meal for me is meat loaf. Can’t stand it, even if my mom spiked it with cheddar cheese.
Dennis: back in the day, I loved that stuff. It was food. Now, I don’t consider it food, It’s animals at their worst. In southeat asia in the 60’s, I would die for a meal made of such. Now, you can have it all.
Beanie Weanies (hot dog cut up in a can of pork n beans) Tamale Casserole (from the Bisquick box) Tuna Casserole (to which a can of mushy peas was always added - as a matter of fact, a can of mushy peas was added to most meals. It counted as our “vegetable” My stomach still gets queasy if I smell someone opening a can of peas…) Liver (burned to shoe leather) and onions
Those are about the only things I can remember on the menu my whole childhood. LOL

Do not like(won’t eat) cooked spinach or tripe, I’ll starve first. The rest of the list has some good eats.

Hey, I like spam, but only when camping. Wonder if it has anything to do with the large amounts of alcohol I consume when camping.
Dennis on March 21 at 8:42 a.m.
It has to be the alcohol Patrick,,,,,,,,, You have to be drunk to eat that stuff!!!!

Pigs in a blanket with milk gravy. That was my Mom’s *desperate* meal. It meant we didn’t have anything else in the house. Disgusting!!!

Patrick; Back in the day, I mean southeast asia as a young man, spam was king. Now, it seems so gross. But, that’s just me.
Stickman on March 21 at 7:03 p.m.
If my mom was alive, of course meat and potatoes, what else. Now. leave out any meat, such things we can do without.
