Classic American Meals (brandy, grill, lasagne, barbecue)

[misterjimmy]

The notorious creamed tuna and peas casserole. The very mention strikes fear in Americans of a certain age.

Not sure if it was on the side of the can of peas, or if it was another Good Housekeeping Magazine abomination....

For certain Yankees, Boston baked beans and brown bread.

And you can buy either of those items in a can.

I think brown bread is traditionally baked in a can.

Yep, I think it's traditionally baked in a one pound coffee can. I've been told the B&M brown bread is pretty good.

How do you usually prepare your beans? I mostly make split pea & ham soup, some Texifornian pinto beans boiled up with jalapeños, bacon, and onion (my fave), and my version of the Joy of Cooking's Brazilian black beans with sausage.

I love "Boston Baked Beans" but I'm afraid I usually eat my baked beans from a can labeled Bush's.

Not sure it's the same thing, but we have burnt ends here in Texas, too.

debsi,,,I like your enthusiasm and spirit

but, its just me,,,, it was tradition in this region to have baked beans on Saturday nights,,
my mother would make these, and no matter how she would make them,,,, those beans looked like a pile of deer-dung
and tasted probly the same,,

,baked beans is up there with the evil peas as being my worst tasting foods-

I haven't even tried a baked bean in over 35 years.... the smell is revolting to me,,, id rather eat spinach.. with a toothache
like I said its just me, that's the one food I will go to my grave hating.

and that brown bread from a can...is guilt by association...

ive oftened wondered why ive had this aversion,,,to these foods...and I don't have a good answer,,,its not that I'm a picky eater...my brother and I would eat the eyeballs out of mackerel on a dare
