      That is not a cheap toy. I’ve heard of them, never seen one. What is it and how much was it?

    I’m pretty sure that’s Corelle. Do they still do this today? Because all of our dishware are fucking Corelle

    • frunch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      But how come they only stopped in 2005

      Probably ran out of their stock of lead around that time

      I have corelle (or corealle?) but mine are all white and don’t have the decorative print. Does that mean mine are safe from lead?

    What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?

    Oh no, I ate off plates like this as a kid. That explains a lot.

      You’re fine. The lead is bound in inert glass and only in the design. You would have had to chip off the design and eat it to have any problems.

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

  • Acters@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    What’s even more silly about this is that you never bothered to cook it yourself to experience better cooked food and the reason is? Idk for me it was because I am lame and too shy to ask to change the established way of life. On the other hand I have adjusted to eat food of all sorts even though it is displeasing. Except foods that have capsaicin or or peppers, I’m allergic to them.

    source

    • match@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      because fresh vegetables are expensive and have short shelf lives

      You would first have to believe that better tasting vegetables was a possibility before you start looking for it.

      Things were much different before the internet. “Food porn” wasn’t really a thing (unless maybe you sought it out in cookbooks, and even then…). Hell, Food Network didn’t exist until the mid-90s, and back then it was a third-rate cable channel that nobody watched.

      If you’re a child in that world, how would you even know that vegetables could be good?

    I also feel seen in a really weird way. That Corelle, the gray hot dish, the lump of salad. Except the french cut beans. Mom never sprang for that. Dad did sometimes though.

    source

    • KoboldCoterie@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I don’t know what that grey lump actually consists of, but for some reason I think it probably tastes really good. I have no basis for this belief, but I would try that. I’d probably take a too-large helping and regret it shortly thereafter.

    It’s actually really good although the stuff in the picture looks like it wasn’t made very well.

    You can get wild rice soup from places like Panera, it’s really good! The hotdish version is thicker/baked. The stuff in the photo basically looks like the wild rice, carrots, and just a cream of potato base, probably not much flavor to it.

  “French cut” green beans make me irrationally angry.

  source

  • ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    They have a uniquely terrible taste, but I don’t understand how just the way they’re cut could produce that taste. I think maybe they’re also soaked in lye or something.

    source

    • Decoy321@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I’m guessing it’s more dependent on the brands you’re buying, but there shouldn’t be that significant of a flavor change. Also most cans have a liner inside them to protect the contents from chemically affecting the contents. I just checked a few sources for various products, and all of them were simply the beans in a water solution.

      Some did include salt, which may be having a minor effect. The French cut, julienne, provides a higher surface area / volume ratio. This means the beans will “marinate” in the solution more effectively than larger cut beans. As in, the salt and water have better access to the inner parts of the beam, leaving them more tender and “marinated.”

      I’m using that weird very loosely because I honestly can’t remember the right word.

      source
    • Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It’s not the taste so much as the texture. The difference in a green bean casserole made with French cut green beans and whole, cut, green beans is night and day. And by that I mean only one is worth eating. The other is just mush.

      The anger is irrational and thus cannot be rationally explained.

  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.

  My mom used to make me add a can of mixed vegetables to my instant ramen until we agreed that I could eat them separately. So I would quickly force down the bland, mushy veggies then enjoy my ramen in its pure form.

    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.

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

  • BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.
