:bounce:

We're having some friends over to watch. It's also going to be a pot-luck of southern funeral-type food (heaven help me, I'm making a tuna casserole with a potato chip crust!).

1. Potato chips?!

Don't be cheap. Use the canned french-fried onions :toast:

I'm not familiar with that series. What network will it be on?

[SacredCow]

2. It's going to be on LOGO...

Starts July 23rd.

But it HAS to be potato chips to be in keeping with the movie!

[MuseRider]

3. Huh. I always thought

that the canned french-fried onions went on top of the green beans with mushroom soup. Boy was my Mom ever wrong! :hi:

We had chips on our tuna casserole.

4. I remember the green bean casserole....

from my childhood, and yeah- it had the french fried onions on top.

I never had a tuna casserole with potato chips, but then again the only tuna I eat is the fresh stuff so mom probably would not have even attempted a tuna casserole.

5. Those green beans

"Green Bean Casserole" were for "spacial" occasions.

Really? No tuna casserole? Wow. Mac and Cheese? Beenie Weenies? I guess I should not assume you are a child of the 50's but all that stuff was common where I lived. Those things and Jello, always with the freaking Jello.

6. child of the 70's here....

I just could never get past the smell of canned tuna. Even the pouch tuna that they have now has a smell that just doesn't appeal to me.

Now, fresh yellowfin steaks, seared rare? Or sushi? I'm all over it!

7. My mom used the french-fried onions on just about every casserole

If it wasn't them, it was usually seasoned breadcrumbs (especially with her chicken casserole -- imagine chicken a la king mixed with noodles and baked in a dish.) On rare occasion, she might use tater tots.

But potato chips? Not in my family! :hi:

8. That actually sounds good.

It has been a long while since I made a chicken casserole or even a tuna casserole. That is surely comfort food now. Something that is rare since the kids have grown and flown the coop and I try not to eat meat very often.

Not to further the thread jacking here but I grew up on bologna sandwiches. You could not get me near one of those now. A funny aside, it must have been a real hoot to my parents, my dad took bologna sandwiches to work everyday so we as children referred to bologna sandwiches as Daddy's Meat sandwiches. I can only imagine how funny they must have thought that was. :P

There was never, ever a bottle of pop or Kool Aide in my house. It was always an off brand like Kool Aide but no pop ever. Hamburgers every Saturday while watching Chiller. OK, I think I am done reminiscing.

Sorry for the threadjack.

9. we sophisticated new yawkers had Cracker crumbs on casseroles

peanut butter and jelly all through grammar school then graduated to bologna in HS,
Now back to the thread: I luv Leslie Jordan.We'll be watching
