Politically Correct Is a Pejorative Slur and Not a Neutral Descriptive Term, Ok?

Granted Jameson is not a top whiskey, but why would you put ice in it? It’s like putting pineapple with pizza!

Apparently, a lot of people like pineapple.

For the record, I use fake ice cubes like these:

They cool down the whiskey without diluting it.

Meanwhile, putting pineapple on pizza is an abomination that cries out the heaven for vengeance.

The only thing I put pinapple on at the dinner table is Ham.

Another fun fact: "On the Rocks" did not mean ice initially, but hand carved marble like stones that were kept cold in ice, or a mountain river. The stones would chill the whiskey without diluting it with water. I own several whiskey stones I use for the good stuff.

Noodles in chili sounds utterly barbaric, but my great grandmother taught me that adding noodles to it would stretch it out, in the Great Depression you had to make food last, and people would add noodles to left over chili to make a whole another meal. Now I would never add it to my chili, for fear of opening a portal to Hell with how spicy I like it, but still I have had it with noodles on a couple of occasions, one was not bad with a ton of cheese dumped on top, and the other, they did not drain the macaroni correctly, and it made the chili soupier.

Yes, that's a Midwest thing.

Growing up, whenever my mom made chili, she'd serve it over egg noodles.

These days, I put it over a bed of the large scoopy Fritos or sliced up corn bread.

in the Great Depression you had to make food last, and people would add noodles to left over chili to make a whole another meal.

From what I learned from my grandparents was that meat was expensive and noodles were cheap and easy. So it was a substitute to make it more filling, and as you stated, make it last longer.

I'll add some queso cheese to some, and eat it with tortilla chips. I'm thinking next time I just pour some over chili cheese fritos!!😋

Chili and noodles are “Cincinnati Chili.”

Texas Chili sausage, steak, tenderloin, and a whole lot of seasoning, peppers, sautéed onions, peppers, tomatoes… NO BEANS.

Stretching budgets has lasted long past the Great Depression.

When we were growing up, my parents worked on a relatively tight budget, and my Mom was a master at "making food last." At that point (1970s and 1980s), ground beef was still relatively inexpensive, and we ate a lot of ground beef-based meals (chili, spaghetti with meat sauce, meat loaf, etc.). She would also make these things where she would make hamburger patties, wrap a strip of bacon around them and hold it with toothpicks, and then broil them. They were insanely delicious.

Just talk to the wife.. My sister would take tuna sandwiches  school. My mother taught her  to add several crushed saltine crackers to the tuna. I guess it was a carry over from the depression to stretch the mixture.

[Pornhubby]

All of my grandparents were Great Depression survivors and could make copper wire with a penny. We would have a nice piece of meat, pork or beef, for Sunday dinner after church.  Then we would have a half dozen reincarnations for a week… sandwiches, hash, stew, meat sauce, and finally… SOS. Then the process would repeat.

A lot of hunters in my family. Both sides. My grandpa on the horrid bitch side was always hunting. Stepfather too, so there was always a freezer full of wild game. Deer, pheasant, rabbit, squirrels. They didn't care, if it had fur or feathers, they would kill and eat it. Other than venison I didn't eat a whole lot of meat. Chomping down on a shotgun BBs while having dinner is a huge appetite killer.

I was going to make a post, but I see Barb got there before me

Well, since this thread is hopelessly off the rails, I'll add my two cents. One thing my mom did when I was growing up was buy powdered milk, which I grew to hate passionately. I think that may be the reason that as an adult, I always have (real) milk with my meals, and occasionally as a snack with Nesquik or Hershey syrup.

Last week, I did something I thought I would NEVER do--I bought a box of powdered milk. I bought it for a recipe I have come to love because it's tasty and handy to have on hand. The simple recipe is for Cream of (Anything) soup. Here it is.

Ingredients:

2 cups dry milk powder
3/4 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Mix all the ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

To make one serving of soup, add 2/3 cup of the dry mix to 1-1/4 cup of a liquid of your choice (water, milk, broth, etc.) in a small saucepan. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and stir until thick.

Add whatever you want to the base. Clams and potatoes for clam chowder, mushrooms for cream of mushroom, chopped chicken for cream of chicken, just to name a few examples. The first time I made it I added chicken broth, corn, diced potatoes and crumbled bacon to make a corn chowder, and it was delicious. I'll tell you, on a cold winter night when you get home late, it's great to slap a PB&J sandwich together to go with a hot mug of freshly made soup. Even if it is made with powdered milk.

This conversation is much more entertaining!!😁

You had me right up to this point!!  PB&J... with soup...!!!

Unless it means something else where you live, PB&J still means peanut butter and jelly right!?  I have never heard of eating a PB&J with anything other than maybe breakfast, especially not soup. If I'm gonna eat a sandwich with soup, it's gonna be grilled cheese. And not one of those weird ones where made with mayonnaise instead of butter. I'm talking good ol'fashiomed all Wisconsin grilled cheese. Thick cut bread with enough butter on the outside to stop a horses Heart, and enough cheese on the inside the spatula bends while flipping it. Melty cheese just pouring out when you cut it.😋😘

My mom and grandmother did that too, and if my mom had to make pies for a church bake sale, she would save the crust cuttings, roll them into a ball, reroll them out and wrap a meatloaf with it, that was insane in its deliciousness. My mom also taught me this:

Baked Bean Soup:

1 pound of hamburger meat
2 cans of any style baked beans,
2 tbsp of each, Mustard and Ketchup
half a pound of bacon chopped

Brown the meat, add the beans and bacon. Then let simmer for half an hour stirring constantly, then add the Ketchup and mustard, continue to simmer on medium heat for another ten minutes, then let rest. Serve with crusty french bread. A meal of the gods.

Mom also used to wrap sausages and hot dogs in bacon for dad to grill. Delicious.

I will concede the point. Grilled cheese is the most popular sandwich in America.

I was speaking from an ease of preparation standpoint. I love sandwiches of all kinds, from the American favorite grilled cheese to the not-on-the-list pork and bean sandwich, but PB&J is the easiest and quickest to make. If you restrict peanut butter to breakfast, you're missing out. Everyone in my family has been known to eat peanut butter with a spoon, right out of the jar.

Oh I dont leave it just for breakfast. It has been a part of... dessert... a few times as well 😘

On a somewhat separate note...
Growing up, me and my friends would take some vanilla ice cream, and a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter and blend it with a hand mixer until smooth. No specific measurements. It was to die for! We still do when we've been drinking.

Now Im wondering if it is gonna be one of Shannon's pregnancy cravings.

Introduce her to Moose tracks Ice cream, fudge swirl with pb cups in it. Wife swore during her pregnancies that, that ice cream she could eat forever.

Granted Jameson is not a top whiskey, but why would you put ice in it? It’s like putting pineapple with pizza!

Apparently, a lot of people like pineapple.

Blech!!!! I'm coughing up a hairball! What a horrible thing to do to a whiskey!

[phtlc]

Why do you feel compelled to tell someone the truth if it might potentially demean them, or it might offend them?

I'd say if we were discussing policies that could affect me, then I would want to be free to state the truth as I see it, nit because I enjoy offending people but because I should be able to speak on matters that affect me, and discussions on many of the matters that do affect the average person, tend to always trigger the perpetually outraged

If their objection is reasonable, then it's food for thought. If it's not, then just roll your eyes, or laugh.

This may be a Canada vs US thing but the problem here is that even if their objection is not reasonable their outrage can often lead to career consequences for the person who offended them.
