Favourite "Trashy" Nostalgia Food?
-
I think everyone has something like this – a dish that is really simple, or highly processed, or made from a bunch of canned ingredients, or a bit trailer-park-esque; the opposite of haute cuisine. For lots of people it's something their moms or dads or grandparents cooked that has a sort of special, nostalgic place in their heart, and it's often a guilty pleasure - so what's yours?
Mine is either "seven layer dip" (refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo salsa, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onion & black olives - but the olive and scallion are one layer, I guess?) which I associate with Christmas at my grandma's, or what I affectionately call "white trash stroganoff" which I associate with big family meals and potlucks -- it's basically pork chuck browned with onions and carrots, stewed for ages in a seasoned beef broth until it's tender, and then thickened with cream of mushroom soup, served with pasta.
