    My grandparents used to eat meals exactly like this all the time. Usually canned peaches instead of pineapple though.

    sorry, if my job ever provided me with catered lunches and on the last day I get to pick what I want, I’m getting something that I love but am usually too lazy to make myself unless I have the day off. like some kinda etouffee or smoked BBQ. something a bunch of people can get in on and remember… “that guy was an asshole, but he knew how to eat”.

    god tier legacy.

    100% not going out with some b.s. I could get out of a fridge myself. that’s more like lunch for my first day off the job.

          No one else at the time probably ate this atrocity.

      Cheese is good though and so is pineapple and now I’m wondering how it’d be as a component of some kinda pork/chicken marinade. It’d be kinda like buttermilk but tangier and with more (or maybe the same amount, since buttermilk is more acidic) maceration from the pineapples proteases

      I’m gonna do it and if it’s good i’ll name it tricky dick chicken in nixons honor

          I think it would totally work, probably. My friend the other day added some goat cheese to an egg wash for fried chicken and that was pretty good (but that just added some cheese flavor, this would do more than that and probably tenderize a lot)

      IIRC the story is, he deliberately ordered something that mirrored the common working class meals of the time. But the White House chefs are incredibly dedicated to the bit so they gave it some nice presentation, undermining the idea behind ordering a humble meal.

    What is it with crackkka Americans and drinking milk? (That isn’t even mentioning the rest of the crackkka fare)

    France and Italy usually don’t drink milk, but use a lot of dairy for butter and cheese, and IIRC the UK typically doesn’t drink milk so it’s not even an anglo thing, but uniquely American.

      The English do drink milk. Mayo Americans did take it to a new level, though. Without actually knowing why, I’m gonna guess it’s related to mass production and settlerism making a lot of homogenized, pasteurized milk available and some ridiculous “drink milk to prevent masturbation” campaign.

        You’re close, but missing some details - the mass quantities of milk didn’t come to be for no reason, it was a massive increase of production during WW1. The US made a shitload of condensed milk to feed both their soldiers, and, more importantly, exported a whole bunch of it to the Entente.

        After the war demand naturally crashed but all the facilities and logistics for this production still existed, and the Department of Agriculture didn’t want the dairy industry to crash, and they didn’t want all that industrial capacity to go away in case of another war where they needed a bunch of condensed milk again.

        So, they put out a big propaganda campaign promoting this stuff to home consumers, and naturally, this led to a increase in popularity for more normal forms of milk as well - this compounded on itself over the next few decades with additional advertisement campaigns - both government backed and those backed by the dairy industry - to promote milk more. By the 50s/60s milk-drinking reached it’s peak, and because of the popularity over multiple decades it just kind of got culturally ingrained - particularly for children, but adults still drink a lot of milk too, although the numbers have been going down recently.

        That’s the big picture cultural reason - as a mayo American myself, I drink milk because I like the taste and texture.
