Foods that will fade away with the Baby Boomer generation

Was it the "traditional baked ham taste" that turned you vegan?

Ha! I think it was meeting a "beef" cow at a fair, face to face. The general public were allowed to pat her. She was branded and tagged. She looked deep into my eyes and I saw that she had a soul and didn't want to die for my love of hamburgers or steak. She was a being, no lesser than I. She haunted me for a few years before I finally bit the bullet and made the change.

Sorry but you asked!

Our friends from Holland used to put sugar coloured sprinkles on buttered bread. Sometimes chocolate sprinkles. We were awestruck.

That's called fairy bread and it's popular in Australia.

I did - and that seems like a sincere answer. Thanks. ( Hard to believe though that the Treet had absolutely nothing to do with it. In Canada we had a product called Spork that was the budget-version of Spam.)

We used empty, used bread bags to take our lunch to school. So there.
The same bags were also used to keep our feet semi dry inside our "winter boots".

We weren’t poor, but still used bread bags inside of our boots. I was so jealous of the kids who got to eat wonder bread and kraft macaroni and cheese. Pepperidge farm bread, homemade Mac and cheese, strawberry preserves instead of grape jelly. Every now and then we were allowed a butter/sugar sandwich (my mom grew up poor). I had a friend in the neighborhood with 4 siblings, her mom made kraft Mac and cheese, I was in heaven!

OMG! This is my story to a T! People say that I am crazy when I tell them, but I guess Im not the only one!

To be honest we weren't poor at all. My mother had a very good job but she grew up very poor and kept her cheap ways with us.

Wow. That's truly amazing that we both had the same experience. Thanks for sharing!

Believe it or not I know exactly what you describe. We have a horse boarded in Waterloo County. I swear when I look into his eyes I see a person looking back at me. It's very strange.

I believe with all my heart that all animals have souls. Not just dogs and cats, our beloved domestic animals. Not just the majestic lions and elephants of Africa. Or the beautiful whales and dolphins in the ocean.

I'm not preaching. God knows I ate animals for the first 45 years of my life. I can't and won't judge others but I'm just gently trying to get others to think about what's on their plate (if they ask). And I swear on each of my children that when I stopped eating all animal products my health improved 100% almost overnight. I didn't know I was sick until I wasn't.

Animals eat other. They don't have remorse doing it.

My nominations.

Watergate salad. Lime jello marshmallow concoction that is just nasty.

Any form of meat pate.

Liverwurst. American Braunschweiger, pimento loaf, all that stuff. Get rid of it all.

Little weinie sauce. Who thought BBQ sauce and grape jelly was good?

Hickory Farms. Nuff said. Just go to Aldi's and get twice as good for half the price no?

Aspic. Made from stock and gelatin. Nasty stuff.

Cool Whip.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Just no. Just no. No no no no!!! Nooooo.

Instant mashed potatoes.

I am 32 and love water gate salad. I don't think cool whip will go anywhere either. I think a lot of it is reginal. I live in the Midwest home of casserols and meat and potatoes every night. It is how I was rasied and how I love to eat. When my family has a holiday meal there is cool whip in probably almost every desert and velVelve in most of the side dishes.

And?

When I was growing up, if your parents put this down in front of you, you were damn happy

I loved TV dinners, especially the turkey dinner.

Does anyone ever give a thought to what life would be like if we didn't eat animals. We would be up to our ears in manure and even if we could move there would be some animal in the way and also there are a group of animals that are perfectly happy to eat people, so that would be roll reversal. All of a sudden I have a craving for a cheeseburger.

We really don't have to encourage them to procreate. They were doing that for a very long time before we started to take a roll in breeding them. Maybe a ham sandwich and chicken fingers or a fish fillet. Bacon, that's the ticket! Yet, it is encouraged to consume the very plants that give us flowers, pleasant smells and oxygen. The latter being quite important.

Right. I'm surprised dogs and cats haven't taken over the world. We should probably start eating them too. Mmm dog bacon!

 

[petlvr1064]

I’m a GenX. I can remember my mom making S.O.S when I was a kid. Does anyone eat that anymore??

yes I love SOS. It is classic comfort food for me.

In parts of the world they are. Nothing new under the sun. Do you know why they haven't taken over the world, it is because we kill off the excess.

Speaking of overpopulation, do you know their are way too many humans on this planet? 7.5 billion. Should we kill off the excess?

We toured the U.S.S. Midway in San Diego. The kitchen tour mentioned how many sailors tired of SOS, but everytime they have a reunion now, they INSIST that one of the meals is SOS.
SOS was developed because if ships were in battle, sailors might have to go 16 hours between meals, and S0S was packed with calories and fat, so it carried sailors for many many hours between meals.

That makes sense I know that it is horrible for you. Most comfort foods are though.
