    I’ve noticed that American recipes often have ingredients like “1 packet (brand name) (foodstuff)”. I wonder if this kind of advert is how it started.

    • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Pretty sure that’s exactly how that started. Much easier to sell more of your industrially made foodstuff if you give people some ideas about what to do with it.

        I fear soup over waffles is a poor example of that but I understand.

      Lots of American food companies use recipes on the box to give the buyer an idea of what to make. This was a part of American food packaging going back to the Depression; learning to work with what we had was the lesson of the period. It was a time of searching for what was cheap and learning how to make it palatable.

      Also quite a few packages include recipes.

      • my family recipe for pecan pie has always been from the bottle of Karo Syrup
      • green stuff I made for New Years was originally from a package of Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding
      • family pumpkin pie recipe was from a can of pumpkin

      Use more of (brand name’s) stuff to sell more. That’s all there was to it. No idea why on Earth some of these were so horrendous, though.

      I’m stuck trying to figure out if it’s like creamy mushroom soup or they boiled the liquid out of the mushroom soup and made a mushroom soup flavoured hunk of…mushroom soup remains?

      Like a thick chunky, overly strong flavoured, very american sounding hunk of processed flavours.

    I actually don’t think this would be bad. Growing up, my mom used to make tuna casserole and it was one of my favorite casseroles. Looking at the recipe, this is mostly the same, except you sub noodles for waffles. What’s one carb for another? I could do without the olives though…

      Yeah, people do savory waffles all the time, it’s just waffles with a mushroom and tuna soup, kinda think it would taste good? Like a savory pastry maybe? Then again I’m also the kind of deviant who loves olives.

      I actually don’t think this would be bad. Growing up, my mom used to make syrupy waffles and it was one of my favorite breakfasts. Looking at the recipe, this is mostly the same, except you sub waffles for noodles. What’s one carb for another? I could do without the strawberries though…

      You can buy puff pastry, ready to be filled, in stores. We used to do that a lot. Just blend all scraps and spices we could find around the kitchen, put them into the pastry, shape it and bake it in the oven. Totally delicious.

    I’ve been watching “Sandwiches of History” on YT lately and I believe sometime in the 1980s people realized food could taste good

    might be slightly better than some of the stuff they put in jell-o back then.

    • jaybone@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That recipe says for 4. So that’s actually not a lot of tuna per person.

      source
      • jballs@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I dunno. 1.75 oz of tuna on my waffle is far too much tuna on my waffle.

        Recipe calls for four waffles. Image shows the concoction poured over two waffles.

        Apparently two people will be eating off the same plate.

      But that 7oz of 50s tuna was also like 20% dolphin by weight. It’s 5 ounces of tuna.

    This is why we need to build the wall…! From the south Atlantic to the north Atlantic. The yankie threat can not go unabated.

    Also, this is fitting punishment for the Belgians. They - and the entire world - knows they they did.

    It’s honestly not that far from a tuna melt if you think about it.

      I can’t remember what the movie was, but there is a scene where someone eats a tuna melt at a diner. Shortly after they go to the toilet to throw up. I can’t eat tuna melt since that day.

    So there’s a comfort-food staple at my house that’s distressingly close to this, but sounds even worse.

    It’s 1 can cream of mushroom, one can cream of chicken, one can of peas, and one can of tuna heated in a skillet. That unholy mixture is then stacked on tops of layers of toast, and seasoned with lemon pepper.

    It looks like the kind of food that would attack Calvin in the old comics, but my family loves it. I’m not sure how good it actually is, or if it’s just the comfort food from when we were really poor and that was a feast for us.

    Cyberpunk 2077 has a name for food made by using other pre-packaged foods together to make something new, but I always forget the term for it. SCOP always pushes itself to the front of my mind, but that’s just the basis for a lot of the packaged food (Single Celled Organic Protiens to make synthetic meats and such).

    • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Nah, chicken and waffles is pretty good actually. I mean, people also eat them with bacon and eggs. I just wouldn’t want anything fishy to come near my waffles, IDK why, but it just feels wrong.

      source
      • Breve@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I agree chicken and waffles is good, but I also would try tuna and mushroom soup waffles not gonna lie.
