Last weekend's party for my grandnephew was pig-roast pork (Porky was
roasted 3 days earlier, carved and bagged for re-heating) with
accompaniments including a chicken roasted inside the piggy, sauerkraut,
The Famous Humboldt Avenue Graduation Beans, cabbage slaw, fruit kabobs,
that disgusting Snickers salad (gack), bars, beverages.

Today's party for my neighbor included Walking Tacos (small bag of
Doritos with taco meat and fixin's poured into the bag), fresh fruit,
bars, root beer on tap. I loved the Walking Tacos.

Fun times, both of them. When my kids were graduating you could pretty
much count on ham and turkey sandwiches, cole slaw, chips, pickles, and
bars. We did grilled chicken sandwiches with slaw, beans (TFHAGB), and
bars. Sounds like the parties are more innovative than 20+ years ago.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Okay. Google gave me the following:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snickers_salad>

and I assume that Ms. Melba doesn't like it. It
doesn't sound like one that will probably crop up
on the menu in a restaurant, for sure.

When you first mentioned and posted the Graduation Beans recipe I
thought "Ick". I take it all back. One of my neighbors made them last
year for a potluck and I've had them a few times since at various
gatherings.

They are DELICIOUS!

The Walking Tacos are a variation of the infamous Frito Pie served in NM
and TX. You take an individual bag of Fritos, split it, and scoop in
greasy chili.

It's too icky to explain. I'm sure Google will turn up a thousand hits
and probably 15 versions of it. The one my niece was the basic
3-ingredient recipe. It's pretty icky. YMMV but I'll bet not. :-)

I think you could be wrong about that, Mike. :-( It is of the same ilk
as Watergate Salad which I've seen some family-oriented (aren't they
all?) buffet restaurants. I can see that Snickers thing in a place like
that. More's the pity.

Oh, surely not! I looked at the link Mike posted and that is just wrong.
I'm not averse to eating the odd Snickers bar, I love granny smith apples,
and I'm quite fond of whipped cream (the real stuff) but cannot imagine
eating them together.

And how on earth did someone come up with that idea in the first place??

OK....I'll bite, what are graduation beans. I Googled it but can't
find a recipe. Are they the same thing as 'cowboy' beans with the
ground beef and a variety of beans??

Anybody checked to see if the recipe is on Stu's site? (If it wasn't there
before, it'll surely be there in the near future!)

I couldn't tell what it was... looked like pate in a bowl and had to
look up Snicker Salad recipe to find out what it was. Is this another
Fair Food thing like fried Mars Bars? I can't imagine who would think
that was a good thing and taking it to a pot luck or picnic. If
people actually do it, then it's no wonder Americans are so fat.

of those recipes stu would be crucified for mentioning.

Ugh, Google is your friend. It sounds like someone's attempt to
feel not guilty about eating candy bars topped with Cool Whip
by calling it salad. It doesn't even sound like a great dessert,
just sugar and preservatives. The thought gives me the creeps.

No meat. Lots of similar recipes abound.

The Famous Humboldt Avenue Graduation Beans

Posted to rec.food.cooking again by Barb Schaller, 6-13-2010

Serving Size: 20

1 can baked beans ( B&M or Bush¹s) (28 oz.)
1 can French-style green beans (16 oz.) drained
1 can red kidney beans (16 oz.) drained
and rinsed
1 1/2 cups each: packed brown sugar, chopped celery,
chopped onion, and chopped green pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup ketchup

5 strips bacon

Dump it all together except the bacon. Lay the bacon strips on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for a couple of hours. Eat Œem up. These may be
soupy. Very recent experience eating them (at a family graduation
party) concludes that wet and soupy is better than thick and mushy.

The story of the beans: In about 1976 or so, Mary Nutter pried this
recipe from some folks in Iowa, whose family wedding she was attending.
Mary served these beans at Debbie Nutter¹s graduation party. Note that
the Nutters and the Brletiches (Schaller neighbors) have 11 children
between them, of approximately the same ages. For about the next 7
years, one or both of those families served the beans at their
respective graduation parties. After the second serving, Rob Schaller
dubbed them The Graduation Beans and looked for them at all the parties
-- and they were there.

Incidentally, the recipe serves 20 or so people, unless one of them is
Rob Schaller -- then it¹s food for about 16 people!

What'd I tell you? Nieces made it and spoke of being sure you freeze the
Snickers bars and smash them with a mallet or something for folding into
the mixture.

That actually looks like it could be the start of something I'd eat. But I'd
cut way back on the brown sugar, I'd add molasses, mustard and apple cider
vinegar, and I'd use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. If I felt like
making it spicy, I'd use Tabasco instead of vinegar.

I'd also cook the "trinity" covered over medium-low heat until it begins to
soften, then add the other items.

When working a training session with the Boy Scouts, we often served
this.......We called it Taco in a Bag.

1 bag of Fritos
1/3 of a can of chili without beans (one can serves three)
chopped tomato
chopped lettuce
shredded cheddar
sour cream
taco sauce.

The kids smooshed the bags, opened them, added the chili then put what
condiments they wanted in it. Used a disposable fork, when done, they
wrapped the bag around the fork and hiked it back to the campsite (this was
to be a portable meal while doing a scavenger hunt thru the woods). If they
did it in camp before starting the hunt, they could open the can, place it
in a simmering pot of water about a third of way up the can and there was no
clean up either....when the can was empty, just recycle. Boy Scouts love
anything where clean up is non-existent.

My brother's late wife, Donna, never learned how to cook. If she came
to a family gathering, she would make Watergate Salad. My sister will
make it sometimes, just because we miss her. My brother's next wife, the
stripper, didn't know how to cook either. His current wife is a
wonderful cook, a nice Cajun girl who will make sure that she's his last
wife. ;-)

Ok, I can see how that might appeal to some people...

but not to me.

All it needs is some sliced mixed meat hot dogs!

Ew.

Reminds me somewhat of the "starving college student free cream of
tomato soup" recipe. <eg>

Except that that one actually works. Sort of...

They used to call them "pepper bellies" at school when I was in junior
high. A common menu item in the school cafeteria, but the bag was not
part of the recipe. <g>

I have a recipe for sweet potato casserole that uses no marshmallow
whatsoever and is very 'non-conventional'. It's in a cookbook by Rodale.
I'll pull it out and send it to you if you would like.

If you are willing to post it, I'd be appreciative. :-) Sweet potatoes
go in to loss leader mode during the holidays and are ever so
affordable. I generally just steam them and eat as is with butter and
salt but have been experimenting with them more lately.

The last item was sweet potato curry puffs and I've also mixed them with
eggs and spices to make fried patties.

TIA!

I personally prefer them served in a savory manor. I find them to be
sweet enough naturally. YMMV of course!

The Curry Puff recipe that Lakshmi at work introduced me to was quite a
treat, even tho' I did not make the Chutney dips for them that she made.
She made it with white potatoes while I decided to try it with sweet
potatoes.

It worked. :-d

Sounds like fun times. I googled the snickers salad. I'm left
speechless.
