I love popcorn but in general, it has to be hot and fresh. I once had
people over so had to make a very large amount. I kept it in my turkey
roaster in a slightly warm oven. They thought it was freshly popped but I
had popped it over an hour prior. And I once had someone serve me some of
the stuff that you buy on the chip aisle of the grocery store. I was amazed
that it tasted good. I wouldn't think that it would.

The cold pizza though... That is the only way that my daughter and I like
it. It's okay slightly warm. But we don't like it hot.

I never said that! I said that I have a friend who uses potato chips as the
starch in her tuna casserole sometimes. And she can't be the only one
because I have seen the recipe for it like that in some old cookbooks!

Thank you! I did post some links so obviously this isn't some cockamamie
thing that I just dreamed up. Some of us might find it hard to believe that
they eat Jezebel sauce in some parts of the US. But I'm not going to call
them liars just because I've never seen it served. I also would never
assume that just because my family does something or someone else I know
does something that *everyone* does it. But I have heard and read about the
popcorn as cereal enough to know that many people do, do it.

LOL, my dad used to have some concoction that was eggs, milk, sugar, and hot
coffee, all mixed together and poured over crackers or bread every day for
breakfast, we called it the "mixture." I thought it was ghastly.

That you know many people that do it does not make it "often eaten as
cereal in the Midwest". I know of people that have eaten grasshoppers in
the PNW, and I can find plenty of recipes online for them, that does not
make eating them "common in the PNW".

I know what I've been told. And people who are older than me have told me
that it is common. Have I ever eaten it? Not beyond that first icky bite.

My dad sometimes put stewed tomatoes over crackers. And he always put
crackers in his soup. I'm not really big on crackers but I do not want them
in my soup.

I may have messed up some tuna salad a little while ago with crackers. I
decided to make some and used canned tuna instead of the pouch. I prefer
the pouch. I thought that the canned was going to expire soon but I was
wrong on that but too lazy to put it back and get the pouches. My next
mistake was in using the Veganaise. Again, laziness. I had some Just Mayo
in the fridge but there was only a dab left in the bottle and I didn't feel
like opening a new one. And I had hoped to use up the Veganaise but unless
I make a potato or pasta salad, that isn't going to happen. Anyway... The
end result was a runny tuna salad. I tried to drain it. Fail. Put it in a
little colander and pressed on it. Fail. Still runny.

I do know that you can buy tuna seasoning with bread crumbs in it and also
if you buy prepared tuna salad it often has crumbs. But I didn't feel like
making bread crumbs. I did find some kind of Keebler crackers that nobody
ate and were dated Jan. 1. But the box hadn't been opened. So I crushed up
a few, added the crumbs and tasted the mix. The crumbs were very
discernable. Blech. I am hoping once it sits for a while, they will blend
in.

I have just done too much today and am going to go crash soon. I have to be
at the hospital for my surgery in about 12 hours now so was trying like mad
to get things done and some food in the fridge because I don't know when I
will be ready to do cooking and such. And I figured that tuna salad would
be easy to swallow because it's rather soft. I did put some onion, pickle
and celery in there but mostly it's soft.

I've eaten popcorn with milk on it and it did taste like cereal.

I wonder how it's different from sugar laced cornflakes for breakfast?
Seems a reasonable breakfast choice.

A common affliction in newsgroups.

The sugar would be downgrading it. Should be tasty enough on its own.

No need. People should have the nous to do their own searches. You've
given them the lead, that's sufficient. ;-)

If you can find recipes online, that makes them common.
Unless you sit at the breakfast tables of myriad other families, you're
not in a good position to determine what is common outside your own retinue.

Not surprising since the common ingredient (corn) is also a very popular

Or potatoes. One time on a float trip my young son Zach woke up nice and early, and I was slowly coming to consciousness after Fri night's partying. Zach said he was hungry so I told him to eat some of ther potato chips out from the party. Anoher young buy of a family we were on the float trip with asked his mom if he could have potato chips for breakfast and she goit kinda disgusted and said something like "No you're going to eat a real breakfast!" and I felt like sayinhg "Lady, wound you be any happier if I sliced those potatoes up and fried them and called them hash browns?"

Or potatoes. One time on a float trip my young son Zach woke up nice and
early, and I was slowly coming to consciousness after Fri night's partying.
Zach said he was hungry so I told him to eat some of ther potato chips out
from the party. Anoher young buy of a family we were on the float trip with
asked his mom if he could have potato chips for breakfast and she goit kinda
disgusted and said something like "No you're going to eat a real breakfast!"
and I felt like sayinhg "Lady, wound you be any happier if I sliced those
potatoes up and fried them and called them hash browns?"

Years ago I was looking through freebies online. One was for E.D. soup from
Canada. They went to to say that I wouldn't want to feed my family cheap
soup, would I? And how their soup was good for my family. The sample
wasn't entirely free to me as I had to pay shipping. And while it did taste
good for dehydrated soup, it was not what I would call wholesome. Full of
chemicals and crap. From what I have seen, it is no longer being sold for
home use and only for restaurants.

I can find nowhere that Julie used the term 'common'. You used that
term. She said it was often eaten in the midwest and gave no specifics
beyond that. Often doesn't necessarily equate to common. It might have
been, say, a mere 10 or a dozen families of her acquaintance in the
midwest who often ate popcorn as a cereal. That could be considered
'often' in her retinue. YMMV.

You have to admit though...
- popcorn and milk in a bowl for breakfast
- saltines and milk - 'Pus and Maggots'
- instant mashed potatoes are better than from scratch
- etc.

Not all exactly what you might expect from a food group. lol

It's hard to quantify "often". If 100 people eat popcorn as cereal
every day, that might be "often", even though it's a tiny fraction
of the people who live in the Midwest (which appears to be somewhat
north of 65 million people).

I suppose I could eat popcorn with milk, but why bother when it's
so good with butter and salt (and cayenne, or curry powder, or
Cajun seasoning, or Worcestershire and seasoned salt--like Chex
mix).

You have deeply seated mental issues that require immediate and intense

Why bother talking about real food when there's delivery, frozen or
subsistence food?

I'd venture to say millions of people eat popped corn daily. There's
more than one brand but you've probably heard of Kellogg's Corn Pops.

Kellogg's Corn Pops are not popcorn. They're made from milled corn
(corn flour).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Pops

Some say corn pops come in a foil bag because they're radioactive.

And you are suggesting that Corn Pops are just popped corn. I have had
various puffed corn cereals and they sure did not look like popped corn.

That's cuz they were "puffed"!

On Wed, 13 Jan 2016 11:24:06 -0800 (PST), coltwvu@gmBoarding a plane
in Israel:

What a simple and brilliant idea! I particularly like the 'spare'
seat announcement!! It's hard to beat Israeli technology.

TEL AVIV, Israel - The Israelis are developing an airport
security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with
full-body scanners.

It's an armored booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but
will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person.

Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of
this crap about racial profiling.

It will also eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials.

You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion.
Shortly thereafter, an announcement:

“Attention to all standby passengers, El Al is pleased to announce
a seat is available on flight 670 to London. Shalom!"


BRILLIANT!
