IMO, chili is supposed to be thick and meaty; it's supposed to have some body to it and a little
heat. This was Campbell's 'Chili Beef Soup'

before

Campbell's decided to make it. (laughing) And even they took it off the shelf and remade it into a
'chunky' soup 🙂

Pretty much anything my mother cooked ... I don't know how she would do it .. but she would figure
out a way to take the flavor out of food! She added butter to everything "to make it better" I often
wonder if that isn't what made it worse.

Well, mymom used to make a cassarole, tha we kids used to call , for some reason, Spanish Moss.. It
consisted of Hamburger, rice, curry powder , and mushroom soup.

Actually , in retrospect, it was not so bad, but I do not feel a nerd to go and make it myself.

The first time I had home-made pizza. Yikes...she who will remain nameless made a crust out of
Bisquick. Topped it with some Ragu, thick Velveeta slices and little rolled-up anchovies. It was
enough to earn a Dean Scream.

Thankfully, this was a one-time horror. Most of my childhood meals were good and wholesome. And a
little boring.

Well, it's well established that my mother's curried beef is my idea of a bad meal, but now there is
no such thing as a bad meal for me. Whether at home or in a restaurant, if I don't like it, I won't
eat it. Wasn't like that when I was a kid, you got a nice big serving of whatever and you sat down
and ate it. Clean your plate. Most of the time that was okay.

Boarding school food. All of it. For eight years. Yet we ate it up; we were young, growing, heavily
exercised and allowed little in the way of cakes and candies. Plus we were required to clean our
plates. Made me grateful for every subsequent good meal!

Anything burnt beyond recognition. Well, maybe I can't say it's bad because I simply don't eat it.
The worst food I've ever put in my mouth is my grandmother's hamburgers. She makes them like meat
loaf and then will fry them in a skillet. The burgers (if you can call 'em that) are God awful.

Prepared properly those "burgers" are the best eating ever... a favorite meat loaf mix, formed into
thickish oval pattys, dusted with flour, dipped in egg wash, coated with seasoned breading (cracker
meal is good), and fried slowy in oil until cooked through and golden... pan drippings made into
gravy, serve with mashed spuds... make lots, they're addictive. Prepare lots of gravy and can also
be cooked a la Salisbury steaks. Naturally ya gotta grind yer own meat... granny prolly used mystery
meat - blech!

Seems moms win this one. Mine used to deep fry everything. Even *fried* eggs. She would use Crisco
and baste them with it, they turned out crunchy. I've turned out some pretty, um, interesting meals
myself - most of which ended up given to the dog or in the disposal.

It's hard to believe, but some people really like liver and onions. I do not understand why.

That's exactly what you're describing... smothered steaks or Salisbury. I love it! Had some for
dinner Friday.

Went to lunch one day with my mom when she still lived here and she was all excited seeing liver &
onions on the menu. EWWWW.

I will always remember the worst meal as an early teen -although no fault of my mom- was the night
our new puppy had gotten out of our yard and was struck and killed instantly by a car. Dinner had
already been sat on the table which was our friday night regular, hot dogs.

When I owned a restaurant (AAA 4-diamond) one of our chefs put it on the menu as a trial and it went
extremely well. Couldn't figure it out!

I recently ate one that consisted of canned green beans, a boneless ham that was dry and like
rubber, and a potato dish made from a Betty Crocker mix. It was pretty bad.

A college roommate from Ohio brought his mom's lasagne recipe for us to make. It involved lasagne,
Campbell's tomato soup, ground beef, cottage cheese and mozzerella. I thought he was joking when he
pronounced it "luh-zag-nee", but now I'm not so sure.

I didn't have time to make my lunch for work last night....so I went to the Subway place within
walking distance....I ordered a chicken sandwinch....I got something that was made of "air bread"
with some sort of a crust, lots of iceberg lettuce, some slices of tomatoes, chicken pieces and a
nasty tasting sauce....never again...next time I'll go to the Pavillions store across the street and
buy a can of dog food....
