Isn't it amazing how people get a concept of something based on an
unpleasant experience or experiences, then translate that into an
absolute and generalize the absolute?!

Agreed. I looked forward to Sloppy Joe's as a small child. They were
a favorite in our family. Of course my mother made them from scratch with
real ingredients. We still like them and I make them from time to time.
One can cheat with Mannwich or McCormick's Sloppy Joe mix and add
additional spices as desired.

I prefer the dry mix you use with water and tomato sauce, and I'll dice
some onion and green chili pepper and brown that and let the whole
thing simmer for a while. I like to use italian sausage for sloppy
joes instead of beef, or perhaps a mix of the two. I use large
hamburger buns, and toast the top of the buns in the broiler to get
them brown, then adding the sloppy joe mix and cheddar cheese to the
tops of the buns, then back into the broiler to melt the cheese, and
eating open faced with a knife and fork. My favorite side item with a
sloppy joe is cottege cheese.

Manwich is ok on occasion when I don't feel like cutting up an onion,
but a little bit of manwich is a nice addition to meatloaf.
