I used to think I hated vegetables as a kid. Turns out I hated my parents "cooking"
My mom used to make liver every Thursday. She now denies that ever happened, which is hilarious.
fun fact, that plate has lead in it.
showing lead (Pb) from the pattern.
Damn is this your picture? Did my comment cause you to go and test for yourself? Cuz thats amazing if you did lol
When I found out they had lead last year, I went to work with the cup to confirm. This is a handheld XRF, which depends on the specific spacing of electrons in atoms to determine the identity. Not much to it other than point and shoot! (with shielding)
I'm pretty sure that's Corelle. Do they still do this today? Because all of our dishware are fucking Corelle
Edit: Ok so they stopped putting lead since 2005 so we should be safe. But how come they only stopped in 2005
But how come they only stopped in 2005
Probably ran out of their stock of lead around that time
Not sure, regulations probably? Too worn out from existing today to Check
What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?
The paint in the pattern
Yes, that is what home made food looks like sometimes.
You're not in a restaurant, the "cook" isn't payed, and presentation is not high on the priorities list if you also have to do dishes, wash clothes, and organize life for the family, possibly in addition to a job.
Right? And let's be honest, I bet that hotdish is fire
This is why Americans aren't allowed to make fun of British food.
1987 was nearly 40 years ago...
Hey most of us stopped eating that way.
Not even comparable😂 Americans look back at this and laugh or cringe, Brits still eat their old-timey slop
Most of that looks like it already passed through a person once.
At least once..
..the brown slop on the left could easily be a two’fer!
“French cut” green beans make me irrationally angry.
They have a uniquely terrible taste, but I don't understand how just the way they're cut could produce that taste. I think maybe they're also soaked in lye or something. Or maybe the exposed inner part of the beans absorbs metal from the can.
I also feel seen in a really weird way. That Corelle, the gray hot dish, the lump of "salad". Except the french cut beans. Mom never sprang for that. Dad did sometimes though.
I don't know why, but the word "hotdish" bothers me; I guess because I assume it refers to sort of dish/vessel rather than food.
It's a dish served hot! As opposed to those crappy cold cuts they usually serve.
Actually that wild rice dish looks fine. Mirepoix, manoomin, cream of mushroom... bit of seasoning and it's a nice hearty dish in the winter.
Meals like this are exactly why I don't ever use condensed soup in anything I make. I've had a lot of meals like that growing up. My family, my grandparents, my friends families.. My wife still will make stuff like this sometimes. It's all just lazy mush to me. I can't stand it. Even my mother-in-law, who makes her own soup stock and makes bread and has her own chickens will make condensed soup and canned green bean mush. I just do not understand.
My mom used to make me add a can of mixed vegetables to my instant ramen until we agreed that I could eat them separately. So I would quickly force down the bland, mushy veggies then enjoy my ramen in its pure form.
Idk what rice hot dish is but it looks just like my vomit from last week.
This got re-posted to !minnesota@midwest.social, where we actually know what a hotdish is.
(It's a casserole. /s)
Calling dinner supper is super Minnesotan, too.
Wait until you have family that say that daily meals are chronologically "breakfast, dinner, and supper."
TEETH ARE OPTIONAL IN THIS HOUSE
Oh man.. my mom called it "rice stuff." It tasted like it looked.
I was alive in 1987 and I was never served anything resembling this. What in hell is that?
Alive in 1987... but in Minnesota or the greater midwest, USA? Alive doesn't cut it. Did you even live life if you didn't eat this?
How got-dang popular were those plates? Had me hundreds of (probably lead-tainted) dinners on those bad boys.
So how many times was this eaten before?
