White Trash Delicacies

[howard88]

For your next white trash party consider a family sized can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli and you must include one of the large green cardboard containers of what they call parmesian cheese.

I think there's a difference between something you buy pre-made (such as Chef Boyardee) and something you take the time to *make* that comes out being poor quality. I think if you're going to take the time to make something, it better be good...but I guess it depends what you think is a bigger waste: time or money.

Klink, I would never have pictured you like that.

You were looking for a bald guy with a monacle, right?

Howdju know?

I remember past family reunions having great food.  I'm not sure why this was an off year.

Actually, people who consistently serve good food get bored with the routine nature of that task and decide to get "creative". The people who you're talking about have no access to the sorts of resources that might drive them to emulate Ferran Adria. So for them creativity can mean a variety of things, from fat-free cooking, to processed ingredients, to untested newspaper and manufacturer's recipes.

None of these things are an improvement over home cooking.
