Hashbrown Casserole

[Far West]

So it is pretend cheese..like spam is pretend meat?

I have seen it once I looked at the link in the store, but have never purchased it.

That's what Mrs. Colson thinks about Velveta (sp). She uses it if needed, but she thinks it's strange :'(

Velveta is great to use when making mac and cheese.

Growing up I thought it was fish bait … Granddad used it on hooks for fish bait. I think it floats?

Spam isn't pretend meat, it really is meat. Very salty and very fatty pork with spices added. I grew up on Spam and without Spam we would have lost a lot of soldiers during WW2, it became a staple of the military because of it's storage life in a can. My cousin is adaman that everyone should eat Spam to honor the soldiers that fought so hard, without it they may have died. )

Keep in mind, our great-grandparents and our grandparents ate much worse stuff than spam, just to survive. Electrified refrigeration hasn't been around for that long.

It's not one of my favorite things in the world, but an occasional piece of grilled spam is a change from the same old stuff and it brings back very fond childhood memories.

And our even further distant relatives went out back knocked their food over their head and ate it, doesn't mean I will!
:laugh
I am glad it brings back fond memories for you. That is nice. I have always seen it in stores and heard all the jokes, but no one I knew every ate it growing up. :dunno

My bad. I was thinking of the cheese in a can stuff. )

Nah... this is the "cheese" in a jar. )

When I saw recipes with cheese whiz in it … I thought it was out of that can that you press the top over -like canned whip cream! :dunno I never copy those recipes cause no way in he!! I’m gonna stand there and spray that gunk in my food! :sick

I still would not use it - don't like processed cheese :girlsaysno - but I had no idea it was in a jar? :thumbsup

) Like canned whip cream! :laugh (yea, I am not eating that either.)

My grandmother also likes a good fried spam sandwich with tomato... I prefer a nice fried baloney. :love

I was thinking along the same lines that some love of this type processed food is certainly generational.
My grandmother was a real life hillbilly from the coal country of W.Virginia straight out of The Waltons,
she never even rode in a car til she was sixteen yrs old. Then she became a post war middle class housewife
who could afford to enjoy the conveinence of all of those wonderful modern processed foods like TV dinners
and meat in a can. I have personally never tasted spam but it does smell kinda like bacon when she fries it up.

My hippie earth Mother on the other hand would never allow those foods in her house,
but I have fond memories of velveeta & other treats whenever we stayed at Grandma's.

Truth be told I only buy cheese whiz once per year when I make her hashbrown casserole on Thanksgiving,
and I only eat cheese in a can with Ritz crackers & those little packs of baby donuts when we go camping.

Overall we have healthy food in the house about 90% of the time... but once in a while ya gotta go spaghettios. 8)

) Oh I love a great cannoli or piece of cheese cake!

My parents and grandparents were from Italy. I had everything home made while growing up, not even a tv dinner. Breads, noodles, sauces, desserts, everything made from scratch, so I just have always had a hard time with the completely different taste of foods that are convenient.
I do think some things are more practical (bread!) to buy then make and really who has hours upon hours as they did?
