More crap to feed your kids when they're tired of TV dinners.

What's for breakfast, Mom?

Shrunken dolls' heads in milk.

we used to call wonder bread ball bread ,because you could roll it in a ball and throw it at each other

Did you mix in a little saliva to get it to a nice sticky consistency first?

ladymideva October 12 2011, 22:17:10 UTC

nerer thought of that

Hey, I'm a fan of Kraft Macaroni 'n Cheese. Don't be hatin'...

College food favorite when you add a drained can of tuna and a couple liberal dollops of Texas Pete Hot Sauce.

Perfect for 'munchies'!

I have to admit I used to love Kraft macaroni and cheese and canned hash. Then again I also used to love Spam. A foodie I'm not.

I'd probably still be eating all of it if I weren't a vegetarian now.

Fortunately there's a whole world of vegan junk food out there; I always have at least three boxes of Road's End Organics Mac and Chreese on my shelf.

I tried that Chreese stuff about 7 years ago and I couldn't eat the stuff! Maybe I didn't cook it right. My kids were really little then and love macaroni and cheese (still do!), but they were just poking at it and looking at me like "Mommy, are you trying to poison us?" I made them something else.

We have a chain of stores in my area called Earthfare. They have a good variety of stuff like this so maybe I should give it another go.

I think I could become a vegetarian because I know I could live without meat, but I don't think I could become a vegan. I like cheese too much! :D

Yeah! And I love the corned beef hash! You're gonna create a lot of enemies with.entry Pikke.

Oddly.enough, you can't get canned corner beef hash in Canada. Whenever the fanily went to.the. States, my brother and I used to eat that stuff non stop.

I live in Canada and eat canned corned beef hash. I've found it in almost every store where I've shopped. And I love it best with some shredded cabbage added.

Ha ha! So far, I haven't made too enemies yet with the snarky things I've posted, but I'm working on it! ;)

There was something about that hashburger that put me off for some reason. Too cow patty looking. It's not as weird as a hash ad I posted several months ago where they suggested cooking it in an orange rind. :P

I had canned corned beef hash with scrambled eggs all mixed together in a bowl of cheese grits last week. So good.
