Those are honestly pretty good
The mistake was to not turn it into an aspic.
Okay what the hell is “fw it”
I wish I had just scanned these comments for your question and the answer. I asked AI and it slang shamed me. “Would you like help learning about more slang you have never heard?”
fw it = fuck with it
aka he wouldn’t even try it
Not “forward it”?
fw: fw: re: fw: re: Re: Use of reply all
No I don’t think that’s it
Thank you, definitely showing my age there!
Ok now what the hell is a trad girl?
Trad = traditional = usually code for conservative white Christian 50s gender roles, as sold to zoomers by social media influencers.
Chastity and decency only to the public eye, of course. In private life she should be su missive and do anything these coomers want her to.
And why is she serving mold?
It’s molded tuna, as in she used a mold to shape pureed tuna like the shape of a fish, which is what I assume was a popular dish in the 1950s when gelatin was a sign of wealth due to requiring refrigeration to set.
Who didn’t have a refrigerator in the '50s?
Hi I’m new here, what’s tuna?
kinda looks like this
It’s what you do to musical instruments.
The neoconservative ideal of a girl that is “wife material”: chaste, submissive, adhering to old-fashioned feminine canons, sexist… Summarised under the umbrella term of “trad[itional]”.
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that for me
Trad - traditional
I have recipe books from that era and most of them are either excellent and timeless learning resources, or dubious cookbooks with characters that look like they want to poison me. No in between.
I bet Lemmy would love some snapshots!
The best are the ones that have actual from scratch recipes, none of this “1 container (no actual measurement) of this premade thing” bullshit
Did you plan on only using 4/5 of the can of whatever if the weight didn’t match up? What the hell am i gonna do with an ounce of evaporated milk?
Soup. The answer is always soup.
What do you do with leftover food in your kitchen in general? Do you own a refrigerator?
I have a tiny 5ft fridge in a 15sq ft kitchen. I barely have enough space in my frodge for my essentials, so what am i supposed to do with an ounce of something that came in a can? I’ll have to buy another can of it, which will now leave me with 2 ounces the next time. Home cookbooks call for ingredients to be used in the quantities you buy them in, because no one cares how much cream of mushroom you put in your casserole, or if you used 450g of green beans vs 700. I’m not wasting a storage container or valuable food space on a small amount of leftover ingredients that could have just gone into my dinner without anyone noticing. That seems much better than just letting it sit in my fridge for 2 weeks before being theown away
The size of “a can” changes over the course of 40 something years. A lot of older recipes don’t include an actual measurement beyond “a can” or “a package”.
The “original” toll house cookie recipe printed on the bag of chocolate chips has like triple the amount of chocolate compared to the actual printed recipe in the Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook, way back from the 60s
It’s been a nightmare figuring out ratios of my great grandmother’s handwritten recipes
One size 14 can of thing
Then I’m lost trying to figure out how a size 14 can changed and oh look they all fucking shrunk and now I’ve bought two and there’s leftovers
Thanks capitalism! I think.
So what’s your plan to do with the remainder of the can if you don’t use the full thing? Your casserole will be fine if you just do the whole can
Changing the amount of an ingredient can have lots of effects, especially in baking. It might still come out good, but it’s also nice to be able to make the same stuff we used to make.
Greatest Gen grandma would have cooked shit like that but she wasn’t daring enough. Seriously.
“I put an extra 1/16th teaspoon of paprika to jazz it up!”
I’d be an inch taller if I could have stomached her cooking as a kid. Dad (grandad) was too polite to say anything. “What a great meal!”
Paprika…that was on Dad’s side of the kitchen. Mom only had celery salt and thyme, and I think her 2 ounce bottle of thyme lasted my entire childhood. Everything tasted like Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom.
🤮
Good on OP. “Traditional Girl” is stupid. Most women in history were in tribes and … well, I am not certain what they did. Camp fire cooking and berry picking. Some hunting. Not a lot of vacuuming or microwaving.
That kinda looks good to me. I would try it.
That looks like Chinese prison food.
look closer and you will see The mold.
