My childhood nightmare was canned carrots and peas and Veg-all. Ugh!!!
Yes, butter first in the roux, sorry.
[Sickly vision of uber fat Paul Prudhomme sitting to cook with those humungous fat hands making a roux]
THL, chocolate pudding from a box. Or butterscotch. Still warm. No whipped cream necessary (though either chilled Cool Whip or Ready Whip in the spray can would always do).
Pete, I have a niece who eats frozen peas right out of the bag. Right out of the freezer. Still frozen.
“CG, you’re really taking me back. Some more things I won’t eat: Jello, boxed chocolate pudding, and canned cake icing. Along with Aunt Jemima pancake mix and especially, anything referred to as ‘pancake syrup’.”
Denton, my mother (grandmothers, aunts) were all great cooks, and my brother and I cook in their honor. But every once in a while I crave some off-the-shelf processed food from my childhood (or college in the cake of canned cake icing), and you’ve just named a whole bunch of them.
I still like box chocolate pudding. With real whipped cream though.
I’m getting sick to my stomach with the visual of those little green things ruining a nice mushroom cream sauce.
THey are ok only fresh, right out of the pod and uncooked.
Blink, I’m gone!
It’s just too bad your stove wastes so much fuel Denton!
(KIDDING!! and just a wee bit jealous)
