Favorite meal as a kid?

  1. Granny Crawley asked me if I knew what happened when Cinderella got to the Prince’s ball?

    I said she probably gagged.

  6. @Nutty_Flavor - Swanson's Salisbury Steak was mine, with their mashed potatoes and peach cobbler. It wasn't until much later in life that the high life I thought I was living eating salisbury steak was just a fancy word for hamburger smeared with gravy.

  10. My Granny's chicken and dumplings, pickled beets that I helped can, and raisin pie for dessert. It was the "go-to" meal at the end of winter when everything else in the pantry was pretty much gone and spring planting was getting ready to happen. Felt good to have it in my tummy knowing that I helped Granny and Grandpa even if I mostly just got in the way. I would certainly give almost anything to have her cook that meal for me today. *sigh*

  13. @Moose, I do remember the Salisbury Steak! That was a good backup for the fried chicken, from my point of view.

    Saw an episode of the 1970s era Bob Newhart Show and his wife was cooking him "swiss steak" . That was just hamburger with tomato sauce on top of it, wasn't it?

    The Swanson mashed potatoes were indeed very good.

  14. Spagetti, I went through a time period I wouldn't eat anything else. The Swanson TV dinners haven't been the same since they were in foil trays. Turkey with dressing,and whatever one had the brownie,I would eat whatever else was with it.

  15. Pizza. I grew up in New York so it was good, not Pizza Hut garbage.

  16. @Nutty - I think Swiss steak was a different cheap cut (maybe top round), pounded flat with a kitchen mallet, then cooked with tomato sauce and American cheese on top. Another cheap meal given a fancy name, and we were none the wiser.

    @Guesser - I haven't had one in so many years, I didn't even know they replaced the tin trays (which makes sense, I guess, in an era of microwaves). And the turkey was another classic - I think it came with succotash (mixed peas/beans and carrots)

    Grilled cheese sandwich. +1 Nutty and Moose. Loved to pick out those dinners and I always chose based on the desserts. That apple compote one was the bomb.

  19. @Moose is right,Swiss steak you pound the cheap steak and cook in a lot of onions with the tomatoes tenderising the meat.
