Chicken of the sea and waffles?
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.
Lots of American food companies use recipes on the box to give the buyer an idea of what to make. This was a part of American food packaging going back to the Depression; learning to work with what we had was the lesson of the period. It was a time of searching for what was cheap and learning how to make it palatable.
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.
That happens all the time too. I’ve heard people more than once tell me they found out that their traditional family recipe for whatever came from the back of a box of Bisquick.
Use more of (brand name’s) stuff to sell more. That’s all there was to it. No idea why on Earth some of these were so horrendous, though.
I’m stuck trying to figure out if it’s like creamy mushroom soup or they boiled the liquid out of the mushroom soup and made a mushroom soup flavoured hunk of…mushroom soup remains?
Like a thick chunky, overly strong flavoured, very american sounding hunk of processed flavours.
Is this what they are referring to when they say they want to “make America great again”?
When all the flavor buds were covered by cigarette tar
If you want to watch a fabulously flamboyant gay man cook disgusting vintage recipes check out “Eye Spy Antiques” on YT.
A lot of fun.
I was assuming you were talking about B Dylan Hollis until you got to the name of the channel.
Worth checking out?
Holy shit, thank you for pointing out this dudes channel, he is fucking hilarious. I was hoping someone would cook these shitty recipes and try them out.
Edit: “gonna taste like shit, but it’s stunning” ROFL
This dude is great
Looked it up. That dude looks like he really enjoys making videos.
Lol you weren’t joking. This dude is cracking himself up.https://youtu.be/3eNDNCe4rRw
Absolutely. I’m having fun watching because he is clearly having fun creating.
It’s pretty contagious.
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…
Expert troll, my friend. But you can’t fool me.
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.
I’ve been watching “Sandwiches of History” on YT lately and I believe sometime in the 1980s people realized food could taste good
And they used to sit us down and scream at us until we ate every last bit of it.
That’s child abuse
Nowadays

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)
That recipe says for 4. So that’s actually not a lot of tuna per person.
I dunno. 1.75 oz of tuna on my waffle is far too much tuna on my waffle.
Tuna waffle is gonna be the next big thing.
Recipe calls for four waffles. Image shows the concoction poured over two waffles.
Apparently two people will be eating off the same plate.
There also appears to be some sort of sliced lunch meat in the mix there. Again… lawless hellscape.
That’s flaked tuna, it says so right in the ad.
But that 7oz of 50s tuna was also like 20% dolphin by weight. It’s 5 ounces of tuna.
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.
Wait, what DID the Belgians do?
Ask Africans.
Doesn’t sound bad tbh…i like savory waffles. Don’t sugar the dough (no idea if thats a thing, just guessing) and you are good to go
There’s worse…
Amateur night compared to creamed corn bologna boats.
What a terrible day to have eyes
I really hate that so many memories of my one grandmother were being traumatized by these jello atrocities.
“This is what happens when you lobotomize half the women, and put the other half on qualudes”, my partner xD
I’d be willing to try it
It might be potato waffles
