Which of these foods still find their way to your table?
-
Sloppy Joes and Salisbury steak are both 100% awesome. Fire whoever edited this.
-
I LOVE tuna casserole, sloppy joes, fondue, beans and franks, and salisbury steak. Still eat them to this day.
-
Sloppy Joes are a MUST! always make sure to have it a few times a year
-
Tuna casserole was not just comfort food, it was struggle food. It's one of the cheapest ways to feed a family when you have almost nothing to spend.
-
Sloppy Joe's certainly haven't gone away here in PA. One local fast-food place sells lots of them. I have a soft spot for chipped beef & toast since my late mother made it back in the day when she wanted to do something different.
-
I think Sloppy Joes are still a pretty common easy home meal for families, although the standardization and shift to reheated/heat lamp food in cafeterias reduced their prominence. There's actually a Sloppy Joe special right now at White Castle for December. Fondue is probably the only other one of these that's still common, mostly due to The Melting Pot spreading fast as a chain.

Maaan, you’re crazy @Mashed Just made Salisbury Steaks the other day. The original "steak sauce’ my Mom used is no longer around but thankfully I found a good substitute off Amazon, with a side of mashed potatoes? Still a hearty, good, relatively cheap meal. Same thing with Sloppy Joes.

If a hotdog shaves 36 minutes off your live, I should have died 40+ years ago. And Grandma cooked up a skillet full of beanie weenies last week.

When my family ate tuna casserole, we did not have peas or cheese in it. Just noodles, cream of mushroom soup, tuna and buttered bread crumbs. My Mom ate "milk toast" which was buttered bread, heated milk, salt and pepper. When she wasn't feeling well this was her comfort food. Chipped beef on toast, and creamed hamburger on toast.(S.O.S.) were favorites too. I still like S.O.S. Mom loved egg creams too.

some of us still love sloppy joes and tuna noodle casserole. i also loved something my grandmother used to make called shrimp wiggle (shrimp, onions, peas in a bechamel over toast or rice)
-
Call me old fashioned but sloppy joes with a side of hot bake is the best thing ever, and I would know as my wife is French that Fondue is still huge in France
-
I still make chicken a la king all the time, but I put peas and carrots in mine instead of mushrooms and peppers. My mom used to make it when I was a kid, so it's still a comfort food for me.
-
We had Watergate salad at Thanksgiving. It was pretty good.
-
Watergate salad is still eaten here in OK, and I love it now just as much as when I was a kid. Also, I think some of the jello salads get a bad rap, some are really good. My grandmother made one with carrots and orange jello with pineapple. It was the only way my Dad would eat carrots.
-
I still like Sloppy Joes, my dad used to make them for me and I make for kids sometimes. I pass on one favorite food to another.
-
We still LOVE Sloppy Joes! When i was a child, this was something we looked forward to every year at our local fair. Fondu? We do this as a family for events like Christmas or Birthdays! And everyone eats Salisbury Steak. And omg! I just had the Watergate salad for the first time this summer! It was the best! Totally the first thing gone!!!
-
Don’t be coming for sloppy Joe’s. We eat them regularly at our home.
-
My parents had Fondue Parties when I was kid circa 77-80! Melted Cheese’s, breads, sausages etc! Chocolate Fondue with all kinds of fruits and pastry! I remember going with Mom and Dad when he was home, to the Cracker Barrel store at the mall! I was about 5-6yo! They were so much fun! My parents friends would bring their kids and was a big family get together!
-
You can't beat a good tuna noodle casserole! Especially with the buttered bread crumbs on top!
