    Is this what they are referring to when they say they want to “make America great again”?

    I’ve noticed that American recipes often have ingredients like “1 packet (brand name) (foodstuff)”. I wonder if this kind of advert is how it started.

      Pretty sure that’s exactly how that started. Much easier to sell more of your industrially made foodstuff if you give people some ideas about what to do with it.

        I fear soup over waffles is a poor example of that but I understand.

      Also quite a few packages include recipes.

      • my family recipe for pecan pie has always been from the bottle of Karo Syrup
      • green stuff I made for New Years was originally from a package of Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding
      • family pumpkin pie recipe was from a can of pumpkin

        TFW grandma finally hands down her secret recipe book and they’re all clipped from boxes of supermarket food items and adverts in Good Housekeeping.

    I actually don’t think this would be bad. Growing up, my mom used to make tuna casserole and it was one of my favorite casseroles. Looking at the recipe, this is mostly the same, except you sub noodles for waffles. What’s one carb for another? I could do without the olives though…

      Yeah, people do savory waffles all the time, it’s just waffles with a mushroom and tuna soup, kinda think it would taste good? Like a savory pastry maybe? Then again I’m also the kind of deviant who loves olives.

      I actually don’t think this would be bad. Growing up, my mom used to make syrupy waffles and it was one of my favorite breakfasts. Looking at the recipe, this is mostly the same, except you sub waffles for noodles. What’s one carb for another? I could do without the strawberries though…

      You can buy puff pastry, ready to be filled, in stores. We used to do that a lot. Just blend all scraps and spices we could find around the kitchen, put them into the pastry, shape it and bake it in the oven. Totally delicious.

    might be slightly better than some of the stuff they put in jell-o back then.

    also note the size of can tuna used to come in… SEVEN OUNCES (compared to the 5oz ones we’ve had now for like 15+ years)

    This is why we need to build the wall…! From the south Atlantic to the north Atlantic. The yankie threat can not go unabated.

    Also, this is fitting punishment for the Belgians. They - and the entire world - knows they they did.

    I would like to try it, depending on “mushroom soup” it might be great or disgusting, everything else is ok.

      Nah, chicken and waffles is pretty good actually. I mean, people also eat them with bacon and eggs. I just wouldn’t want anything fishy to come near my waffles, IDK why, but it just feels wrong.

        I agree chicken and waffles is good, but I also would try tuna and mushroom soup waffles not gonna lie.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 has a name for food made by using other pre-packaged foods together to make something new, but I always forget the term for it. SCOP always pushes itself to the front of my mind, but that’s just the basis for a lot of the packaged food (Single Celled Organic Protiens to make synthetic meats and such).
