Yes, that is what home made food looks like sometimes.

You're not in a restaurant, the "cook" isn't payed, and presentation is not high on the priorities list if you also have to do dishes, wash clothes, and organize life for the family, possibly in addition to a job.

Right? And let's be honest, I bet that hotdish is fire

This is why Americans aren't allowed to make fun of British food.

1987 was nearly 40 years ago...

Hey most of us stopped eating that way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And started eating way, way worse

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Maybe "worse" in the sense of health, but certainly not taste.

Oh man.. my mom called it "rice stuff." It tasted like it looked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I have those exact plates...

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 days ago (24 children)

I used to think I hated vegetables as a kid. Turns out I hated my parents "cooking"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

My mom used to make liver every Thursday. She now denies that ever happened, which is hilarious.

“French cut” green beans make me irrationally angry.

Boomers across the country still have china hutches FULL of these plates. With probably more plates in storage.

[–] [email protected] 103 points 3 days ago (23 children)

fun fact, that plate has lead in it.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 3 days ago (5 children)

XRF showing lead (Pb) from the pattern.

Actually that wild rice dish looks fine. Mirepoix, manoomin, cream of mushroom... bit of seasoning and it's a nice hearty dish in the winter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Meals like this are exactly why I don't ever use condensed soup in anything I make. I've had a lot of meals like that growing up. My family, my grandparents, my friends families.. My wife still will make stuff like this sometimes. It's all just lazy mush to me. I can't stand it. Even my mother-in-law, who makes her own soup stock and makes bread and has her own chickens will make condensed soup and canned green bean mush. I just do not understand.

Food conglomerates had tried to sell a more efficient vision of the kitchen to working mothers:

Less food prep time meant more time for family and career. But it also meant more sales of processed food and the extinction of the skills required to prepare food.

The children of the seventies and eighties were among the first to experience this change toward preprepared foods.

Most of that looks like it already passed through a person once.

I know its meant to represent 1987 but why canned?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I was born in '87 and I distinctly recall eating a lot of canned veggies growing up. I'm sure it's what my mom grew up (in Newark, NJ) eating, and so it probably just passed on down when she was a young mother. I'm curious if canned veggies were just the rage at the time or if it was so because access to the fresh stuff wasn't as available.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I grew up with frozen vegetables, my wife grew up with canned... Just one of our many incompatibilities...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Similar experience in rural Michigan, same time period. I'm sure that's how my mom grew up as well. Fresh veggies were quite available out there, but we still got canned. My grandma wasn't a great cook, and even though my mother has a ton of fantastic skills, cooking isn't one of them.

Calling dinner supper is super Minnesotan, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It's kind of Bostonian too, but then it's pronounced "suppah".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait until you have family that say that daily meals are chronologically "breakfast, dinner, and supper."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

WHERE THE FUCK IS LUNCH @_@

Are you telling me they call lunch "dinner"?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yup! Or more specifically, "noon dinner."

It might be a Midwest farming thing where there are multiple snack times between chores outside. Two generations ago, my family had a quick 5 a.m. breakfast and lunch (or second breakfast) in the morning These weren't full meals in the traditional sense. Dinner meant coming in and sitting at the table for a prepared meal. Otherwise it was just stopping in the house for a small bite and a drink.

In the afternoon, they had tea time at 3 p.m. (black tea with snack cakes or open-face sandwiches). By evening, there'd be a last big meal (supper) before going to bed.

It was super confusing for me being the first generation that didn't grow up on the farm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

What do they call brunch, brinner?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Supper is eaten from 4-6 while dinner is eaten from 5-7 in my experience. Dinner is usually a heavier meal than supper, as well.
