fun fact, that plate has lead in it.

Most of that looks like it already passed through a person once.

I used to think I hated vegetables as a kid. Turns out I hated my parents "cooking"

This is why Americans aren't allowed to make fun of British food.

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.

Dogfood on the right, catfood on the left, goat chow in the middle

Idk what rice hot dish is but it looks just like my vomit from last week.

“French cut” green beans make me irrationally angry.

You know that jello salad slaps though. You can just tell.

EDIT: upon further inspection, that's ambrosia fruit salad. Probably no jello, but rather Coolwhip. Quite tasty still.

This got re-posted to [email protected], where we actually know what a hotdish is.

(It's a casserole. /s)

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.

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.

How got-dang popular were those plates? Had me hundreds of (probably lead-tainted) dinners on those bad boys.

I was alive in 1987 and I was never served anything resembling this. What in hell is that?

Calling dinner supper is super Minnesotan, too.

So how many times was this eaten before?

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.

How the fuck is that Jello
