My dad is 73 and I didn't always eat it but he has made more chili in his life than you would probably believe. It's really good but I never ate as much as he did. He's also really fat and I'm just moderately skinny fat. I'm not clinically overweight by bmi.

>>20321756
Bro, you're allowed to like chili without defending your spare tire.

>Where are you from
why is this irrelevant question so commonly asked by people with under 140 IQ ?

>>20321734
growing up in scotland with no money, my mum fed us mince and tatties frequently

this is literally beef mince, browned, served with boiled potatoes and garnished with second hand smoke from Silk Cut

>>20321767
No one cares, fag.

>>20321734
Your pic looks like baklava

Naples Italy and idk. We ate too much of a varied diet to know for sure.
>>20321756
My dad is half American and if we took my mum out of the equation, it's probably American pancakes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, whenever. He always made American pancakes. Unlike America, we didn't use maple syrup or pancake syrup because neither was available in Italy at the time but my dad would take some jam, usually apricot, and thin it with water in a pan to make a sauce for said pancakes.

Anon, i....

>>20322058
?

>>20321756
based dad, I make like a gallon of chili every month and everybody loves it

>>20321734
Ireland and we didn't have a frequent meal, variety is spice.

>>20322058
just means anon is 25% hispanic, what's so hard to understand

>>20322103
>we didn't have a frequent meal, we just rotated the same 20 meals
So which one was your favorite?

>>20322114
My favourite meal as a kid was spit roast piglet. Always my birthday treat, despite being Sagittarius.

>>20321767
Data mining thread

>>20322123
sounds very good, never had it. My favorite meal as a kid was linguine with white clam sauce or lasagna. both made from scratch by my mom.

>>20322123
I'm kind of jealous. No one ever murdered and cooked a whole-ass pig for my birthday.

t.northern minnesotan

>>20322885
Look, I love tater tot casserole as much as the next Minnesotan, but let's not pretend it's some high class ballroom meal. It's four ingredients - five if you're feeling French - and it takes less than an hour to put on the table.

>>20321734
Ohio, either Meatloaf or Tuna Noodle Casserole. Both are ok but I prefer Tacos nowadays.

>>20321734
That slops all over the midwest. I enjoyed it as a kid, but not really because it burns the roof of your mouth.

>>20323008
Blow on it you fucking ape?

>Indiana
>pasta w/ red sauce
red sauce, sunday gravy, whatever, usually had penne or rigatoni the most. my mom is italian and makes a mean gravy with lamb neck bones. I still have to get the proportions right but I'm close to perfecting it. my grandma makes the same sauce with beef neck bones. she never made homemade pasta though
>>20321734
I was gonna surprise my asian gf with this, she isn't from casserole land and tater tot cass is one of the few I'm not familiar with it'd be a fun dinner
do you have your mom's recipe anon? most of the recipes I've seen online omit the vegetables

>>20323345
Omitting the vegetables is "traditional", but I personally think it's better with sweet corn.

>>20321734
Washington state, hamburgers was probably most common since both parents worked and they were easy to make. By jr high I was making a lot of the meals since I liked cooking and my favorites then were chicken cordon bleu w/ fettuccine alfredo and pot roast.

>>20323428
Corn's my go-to as well but sometimes I'll do riced cauliflower.

>>20321734
Grew up in CA
Most common meal growing up was roast chicken, roast potatoes and salad, we'd have that at least once a week. I still make it myself, it's delicious both hot and as leftovers.

>>20321734
yeah grew up working class with a good number of siblings so something I like to call Poverty casserole was a frequent meal. essentially just pasta alfredo/ cheese sauce with canned tuna/chicken/ground beef and mixed vegetables.

I actually had some I made for myself the other day. I'll make a big pot of it and eat on those leftovers for days.

>>20321734
New York and I like making mini sandwiches with these Hawaiian rolls, I use roast beast and swiss cheese.

>>20323450
oh yeah forgot location, live near Cincinnati now but first half of my life was growing up near Chicago.

>>20323453

Condolences

Bong, my boomer father would refuse to eat anything other than potatoes and vegetables boiled to death, beyond death, and my mother was often too tired after work and childcare to make multiple meals, so we had no choice but to eat the same boiled shit over and over or else my father would go into an autistic rage. The most infuriating thing is he started expanding his diet to other things like pasta and curries only after we had all grown up.

>>20323468
Jesus Christ, is your dad a WWII vet?

>>20323063
yeah that never worked smooth-brain.

>>20323531
Do you BELIEVE it works? Then it does.

>>20321767
I agree with these sentimonies. Cops ask me where I'm from and best I can give is "around there."

>>20321734
m8, I groed up in New England and I never even heard of "hot dish" my whole life. Then, last year, I learned of this sloppa casserole from /ck/ and made it myself.

My GOD it's glorious and delicious. Actual 10/10 home cookin'.

>>20321769

>>20321734
North Carolina; it was either pork chops (that were grilled and way too overcooked) or chicken with like Indian curry sauce and rice

Sometimes fish and chips

Growing up in America, mostly chosen people cummies.

what if /ck/ had flags
it'd be interesting I think, and usually relevant to the discussion

though I suppose people would just use it to shitpost endlessly and turn this into /pol/ 2.0

>>20324023
Absolutely nothing is relevant to anything resembling a 'discussion' here.

Snacks is not related

>>20323468
>The most infuriating thing is he started expanding his diet to other things like pasta and curries only after we had all grown up.
Many such instances.

>>20321734
Minnesota? Fuck Minnesota, fuck hot dish, fuck tiger meat, from Germans, fuck the mall of America, fuck the Vikings, fuck you, fuck all of you, fuck Bob Dylan, Prince is cool(rip), kiss my ass.

>>20324023
A terrible idea. It's hard enough to have actual discussion on this board. Adding flags would make threads devolve into irrelevant shitflinging 10x faster

Sweden. Most common dish growing up was salmon and potatoes. Never been a fan of fish though. My favorites growing up was chicken liver stew, blood pudding, sandwich cake and sautéed reindeer.

>>20321734
Yeah OP, very similar thing going on with me. Northern/Midwest parents, cook this a lot
It's way worse reheated though, soggy taters.

>>20321734
I barely remember anything but my dad liked to make paella a lot but it wasn't a regular thing
Being on a pills cocktail and getting constantly beaten by a drunk person fucked with my brain, all I can remember is that I used to have a dog

Fried Porkchop, Mash potatoes, green beans and a roll w/ sweet tea

no need to disclose my location

>>20321734
>hotdish
Literally the most unimaginative name.

>>20323876
What is in it besides the obvious?

>>20321734
>Hot dish
Thats a lukewarn pyrex.

>>20321734
So I was debating on making one of these. I would essentially make shepards pie filling with peas, onions, carrots and ground beef. Then I would prepare a white pepper gravy which I would pour on top. Finally, I would layer with tater tots. Is that acceptable?

>>20321734
I grew up across the river in north dakota. three times a week we would eat a "cut" of meat called a "country rib" which was essentially pork trimmings patched back together into a rough log shape with meat glue. set under the broiler for 15-20 minutes until a nice char develops on the upper crust, and the center is nice and gray. served with cauliflower that had been boiled for the cooking time of the meat, topped with a cheese sauce made from a lumpy uncooked roux. sautéed cabbage was another common side dish. my mother's cooking is what drove me to learn how to cook for myself, and also really helped me get super fat as soon as I left home. I was an adult when I discovered food could be made to taste good consistently.

>>20321767
It's almost like different areas have different types of cuisine they are known for and its people commonly eat

I thought i was the only one who ate tater tot casserole lol

>>20323876
I mean it's basically just a poor person's Shepherd's Pie.

People get angry about potato vs pastry, but who gives a shit. It's almost the same but 1 different ingredient swap.

>>20324716
well the beef and veggie part is mixed up with condensed cream of (mushroom, celery, whatever) soup, a layer of cheese under the tots.

I used a packet of onion soup mix in the beef as well

>>20321734
Overcooked dry chicken breast potatoes and some vegetable. Very bland but palatable and somewhat nutritious.

Comes from church potluck dinners. Families brought a cold dish or a hot dish. Many families brought some sort of casserole as their hot dish. Over time, one term supplanted the other.

>>20324967
Must be cream of mushroom. It's Lutheran binder.

>>20321734
I grew up in Portland, Oregon. My mom made spaghetti Bolognese a lot, but I think even more than that was enchiladas. I'm making enchiladas with a birria twist next week.

I'm from Cincinnati. I can confirm everyone eats Skyline or Goldstar for lunch every day. We don't have a lunch break we have a chili break.

>>20325039
That is a distressing amount of cheese.

We would consistenly make homemade pizza. Lot's of lasagna's and grilled chicken breasts with rice and broccoli. We had taco night every wednesday and I remember having frozen corndogs on standby at all times for when I was gaming and wanted a snack.

>>20325039
Midwesterners use cheese and pasteurized cheese product as a spice. Everything else they eat tastes like salt and corn.

Nigga a shepherds pie is a poor man's shepherds pie
