/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My mom used to make this haggard broccoli and chicken casserole that consisted of shredded chicken breast that was days old, some broccoli, and mayonnaise. Maybe a little milk if she was feeling up to it. Fucking gross. I hate mayonnaise and mystery meats because of this casserole. Oh and the time she put kraft singles on top of the lasagna because she ran out of cheese. Bleh. This was my mother's only real attempt at American cooking.

Do people really think that would be a typical Amerifag meal? What the fuck.

Alright, Oliver Twist.

Grilled chicken where the meat was still pinkish.
Medium rare steaks when I liked them medium well.

Every meal was a meat and two (frozen and cooked in the microwave) vegetables. It wasn't that bad actually. We NEVER had pizza. My Dad thought it was "poison" because he was on a diet.

My Mom made the best tuna casserole and the best meatloaf. My Dad was pretty good at cooking steaks but the chicken was always undercooked.

You have to be at least 60-70 years old because orphanages haven't existed since the 60s.

You should have gone with foster kid.

oh god shit on a shingle, my mother made that, that's definitely my choice for this thread. so terrible.

>health conscious mom
>uses margarine instead of butter or oil
>obsessed with using as little fat as possible in anything, making everything taste weak as shit if you don't want to overspice it
>only very few meat based meals a week
>most of the time I'd come home from school and she had prepared some weird noodle and veggie crap made from leftovers
>tons of shit not allowed for dinner because apparently it's bad to eat this and that shortly (as in five motherfucking hours) before going to sleep
>SUNDAY IS FISH DAY
Thank God I can cook whatever I want now and eat it whenever I want. I love my mom, but she's a food nazi.

>well done meat
>every single time

Everyone in my family ordered it rare to medium rare in restaurants, but my parents could not once bring themselves to make a steak or burger that wasn't brown throughout and dry as fuck.

Orphanages still exist in Murrica. They are all run at the state level but your stay there will probably be a shitload shorter than back in the day. They typically place you in foster/volunteer homes pretty quicky, but if you are a fuck up, they will tend to keep you in their dorms and maybe you visit a foster family that just wants weekend kids (very smart imho). They will not keep shuffling you around because it pisses off the foster families, and it results in the kid having to jump from school to school, or be bussed to a central school in the area at much expense.

I wasn't a picky eater.

There's hardly anything I wouldn't eat so my mom was cool with it when I didn't want something considering I ate like 98% of stuff she made.

Anything hamburger helper, and the creme de la creme, some beef fucking stroganoff she once tried to make with beets that looked smelled and tasted liked pepto bismol. ugh.

So, is anyone else gonna post an entry for this contest today? I have been diligently working on my presentation and I am almost done! Good luck to everyone!

What's the difference between beef roast and roast beef?

Boiled steak, boiled potatoes, scaulped potatoes, soups and stews without any salt in them, gruel.

a roast of beef vs. sliced deli roast beef sandwich meat

similar with my mum, except it would be sitting in the pan for about half an hour and refused to cook mine blue or rare for me. It was like eating a piece of thick carpet with too much salt.
Did the same to pork chops you couldn't even bite through them.

Plus my dad hates all seafood and lamb, which I love so I can make as much of that shit I like. And have my steaks blue.

Liver and onions. Just what any eight-year old wants.

I know! Let's make a meal out of the part of the cow that filters the poisons they eat from the grass!

My parents mostly ruined pork chops and bell peppers for me.

I was fed that almost every day for years. Took me years before I could eat any kind of pork after I moved out, only recently will I eat bacon again. I don't think I'll ever like pork chops though. The shitty texture, yuck.

And hating the shit out of bell peppers really fucks you up since everyone and their mother loves to cook with them.

Oh well.

That's why I cook for myself now.

Hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes. It was grey and tasted like shite. The only reason I didn't like it was the shit meat that we had, because that year, the morons down the road decided it would be a fine idea to save money and feed the slaughter calves pellets instead of corn. All of my rage.

And a slightly offtopic..
While I lived with my older sister and her husband, we were all hungry and was going to order a pizza.. but their two bratlings were being complete douchebags. Not listening, throwing tantrums.. so instead of a pizza, dearest brother in law decided to cook canned spinach and hamburger helper. Oh, you should've heard the screaming. It actually wasn't half bad if you mixed it together..

yar i remember the olives. they used to put em on the encheritos, the nachos bell grande, and i think even on the mexican pizzas.

nachos bell grande used to be the best thing there. then some faggot decided that they didn't really need the olives and green onions. now they just taste like a textureless clusterfuck.

They used to put olives on everything? Why the hell did they stop

I remember the taco salad used to come in a box big enough for a cat to live in.

I like tuna casserole. Maybe my mom is better than yours.

Yes, that must be it.

Why does a company do anything?
