when tipping back the deposit returnable bottle (had to be one of those,
wink, wink) the nuts would dribble out with the soda to be masticated and
then swallowed as one with the soda.....seemed to be a 'guy thing' where I
was growing up....I couldn't get past the salt in the soda thing, myself.

We do store a fair amount of meat but we only buy meat when it is on sale.

The only stock we make and freeze is chicken stock. We use Tones soup
base to add some flavor if needed... and beef base if we need that.

And we do keep a couple of cans of Cream Of Mushroom Soup in the
cupboard for certain recipies where substitution would destroy childhood
memories. <vbg>

Lately our house has returned to normal, but my step-daughter was
living with us for a year and a half. She favoured canned soups,
bought them and put them on our shelves and heated them up at
3:30AM. But now, definitely no canned soups. The only concession
to prepared soups I make is an onion-free organic sweet potato
soup. But it comes in a tetra pack, so it's not *canned*!!! ;-)

Yeah, M-W also has a similar definition, but it also has the "unfounded
or false notion" in there too, which is what I usually think about when
somebody mentions food or kitchen myths.

I always keep a few cans of beets, lima beans, vienna snausages, and
spinach on hand for when the Boy Scouts have a food drive.

Here's my contribution:

RFC folks would never, ever have a big "discussion" about what kind of
Cheetos are best - crunchy or poofy.

(One of the few instances where I think that Kay Hartman is wrong, wrong,
WRONG about food.)

In re the people who wring their hands that they have not completely freed
themselves from canned goods in the cabinet and have some canned tomatoes
in the I just smile in passing and move on. I've got a religion
already and it has fewer rules; and I'm comfortable enough in my own skin
to not have to feel the need to defend my personal food choices in
detail to Strangers on the Internet.

(Data point: I love the potato flakes things. I put a lot more butter in
them than the package says, as my mom did. They are also the bomb if you
are making shepherd's pie for 120 with minimal assistance.)

--

I hate to disappoint the myth-busters, but....

I have never eaten or made greed bean casserole. Not once.
I haven't eaten bologna since I was a little kid, and I didn't like it then.
(On the other hand, I love liverwurst.)
I have never cooked with canned cream of mushroom/celery/cheese soup. A
couple of years ago, in my only venture into canned soup cooking, I tried
making enchiladas filled with Campbells Chicken Verde (?) soup, grated
cheese, and grilled chicken or pork. Tasty junk food. But I haven't seen it
for a few years.
Most of the time I prepare beans and chickpeas from dry, although I keep a
few cans on hand for emergencies. I don't use canned vegetables. I use
canned tomatoes. But not "sauce." I make bigger batches myself and freeze
some for quick meals. I've bought the odd jar of Classico over the years
when in dire straits.
I have never bought Miracle Whip. (I buy Hellman's mayo and occasionally
make it myself. I used to make it more often before they started on the raw
egg hype. Now I feel nervous, even using my own eggs.)
I haven't had Velveeta since the 70s. (Yuck! I would never consider eating
Kool Whip either, and I can't imagine buying cans of whipped cream except
when serving sundaes to 100 kids or something like that.)
I never buy Kraft mac and cheese. (I do like Stauffer's frozen, but I
haven't had it in years. Too expensive.)
My freezer does indeed contain homemade fish, lobster, chicken, and beef
stocks and turkey soup broth, although I do buy Better Than Bouillon chicken
base to have on hand for certain things.
My freezer also contains homemade soups. So sue me.
I don't use instant potatoes. (There is one better type that I have had on
camping trips when someone brought it. Like twice.)
I like Lipton Onion Soup dip--who doesn't? <G>--but I have it maybe once a
year.
I only buy meat on sale because that is all I can afford.
I've never had "mock apple pie." Why would anyone eat that as opposed to
real apple pie?
I can't imagine why I would buy Wonder Bread.
I hate Dr. Pepper. I don't drink cola, much less RC Cola.
I use real butter, EVOO, and canola oil. I keep some Crisco in the freezer
for pie crust.

Okay, that is something that I simply do not understand. Why would anyone

Toast. Single grain sourdough breads take forever to toast.

Not when you put it between two slices of bread, spread it with brown
mustard, top with thick slices of perfect ripe tomato, a little salt
and good mayonnaise. It used to be my favorite summer sandwich back
when I thought I'd never gain any weight.

Besides if you have it on hand and run out of Robitussin (cough syrup,

Sure I'm a heathen. I tried offering a Mountain Dew to Thor. I figure
he likes coffee so maybe it's the caffeine. Nope. Thor definitely does
not like Mountain Dew.

I can fill the room with the resonance of "Donnar, Thunor, Vingthor,
Thor, please come share the morning mug with me". Very comforting.
Works great with dark beer and a similar chant. Complete flop with
sodas.

Potato flakes are also wonderful as a coating for oven fried chicken. Tried

Yep. Try it by experiment. Put one in a bowl and pour chilli over it.
Have it for lunch. The next day put the other type in a bowl and pour
chilli over it. Have it for lunch. Crunchy with chilli over it wins.
Until you wonder how Fritos are with chilli poured over them ...

Do these usages work as well with HFCS Dr. Pepper, or do
you need legacy Dr. Pepper with sugar?

Right. Dr. Pepper with sugar is now available again as part
of a retro marketing trend; Coca-Cola with sugar has been
usually available all along.

What I was mostly wondering about is whether a lot of these
recipes that throw in a bottle of Coke or whatever were
developed back when sugar was the norm, and whether they have
necessarily stood up to the switch to HFCS.

I would guess most of those recipes hearken back to the days of real
sugar. I doubt there would be any difference in the finished recipe
though. As long as we're talking about sugar, make mine cane not
beet.
