I am mystified that people continued to let James Joyce continue to write anything.
I'm not saying the guy couldn't write, but I do not think I have ever read anything by anyone who was so deeply in love with the smell of their own farts.

sure, it doesn't sound that nice, especially since they apparently do boil the chickens
but it's not profoundly awful or anything
it's not incomprehensibly awful
they're not encasing it in jelly or anything
Oh no, I just hate white sauce.
what is your opinion on lasagne?
Depending on the amount of white sauce, it ranges from "ugh" to "hurk".
what if I told you you could make lasagna without bechamel
what if I told you it is in fact way better to mix ricotta with a raw egg and enough garlic to kill a horse and use that to bind together your lasagna
Personally, I'd be shocked to discover there are people who make lasagna any other way.
Yeah, this is 100% the American way to make lasagna. I've never made it the traditional Italian way.
This is it.
This is where I kill America.
Did I ever mention how my in-laws make "lasagna"? It involves a stale bag of white bread, a couple packs of American cheese singles and a jar and half of pasta sauce.

Our local grocery store would sell stale hot dog buns for basically nothing, so we'd make pizza out of them. Tomato sauce, government cheese (which was considerably better than most American cheese, at least in my time and place) and home-made sausage, all baked on a cookie sheet until the cheese was melted and the buns were all crispy on the outside.
It was actually super tasty, and it remained my go-to "home alone" meal through high school, just with cheddar instead of commodity cheese and the addition of canned mushrooms once our food budget was more normal.
Great, now I'm imagining James Joyce writing about his farts.
I mean I don't think he ever wrote about his own farts
But boy did he write about his girlfriend's farts.
At length.

To be fair, the fact that he's the official Hamburglar doesn't rule out him also being the porn version of the Hamburglar. His day-to-day is heisting some of the cheapest food on the planet, and I can't imagine fencing cold McDoubles has a great ROI. So if he's not moonlighting in porn when he's not busy with hamburglary I have no idea where his money comes from.
I remember in a Bad Food Thread of yonder days, someone photoshopped the Brazzers logo onto that Hamburglar picture and it was, more or less, one of the best thing ever.

the Midwest is truly a place of culinary nightmares
my stepmom once went back to her home state of Missouri and returned with a tale of some tuna salad she was offered by some desiccated relative or other
I forget exactly what was in it because my mind was reeling too hard after the first two ingredients, which were canned tuna and lime jell-o

I'm still not entirely convinced this weird gelatin food thing isn't a joke, but I've spoken to my dad, who is 64, about it, and he definitely remembers eating some of the weird stuff

Oh, man, elaborate Jell-O dishes in the 60s and 70s were the tail end of some deeply weird social trends in cooking. Here's like a 2,000 word history of Jell-O that contains more plot twists than your average heist movie.
Short version: Jell-O became popular during the first quarter of the 20th century because it was a suddenly cheap and easy version of a food that had been fancy for centuries, and because it was a pre-packaged "industrial" food in the time of Sinclair's The Jungle, when non-processed foods were starting to be seen as dirty and primitive. Jell-O was pure, it was futuristic, and it felt classy.
After World War II, the food industry was suddenly super good at canning, freezing, and dehydrating every food available and keeping it that way on a slow boat to Iwo Jima. So what had been military rations flooded onto the consumer market as "convenience foods," and suddenly the worst cook in town could whip up a pretty decent dinner by opening three cans and a box.
This was obviously appalling, as it meant housewives could be lazy and incompetent, but not be instantly shamed by the neighborhood. Since it was increasingly difficult to tell the difference between a bad cook and a decent cook, decent cooks fought back by taking convenience foods and making them inconvenient. That's where you get elaborate setpieces like mashed potato igloos with a meatloaf core and heaps of liverwurst sculpted into pineapples.
Jell-O was great for this kind of dinner party dominance display, because the difference between a perfect Jell-O mold salad and a crappy one was instantly apparent before you had a bite. Even a good baker can't always trust a loaf of bread not to have an embarrassing air bubble in the middle until they slice it, but Jell-O molds reveal all without having to be messily disassembled. This left poor cooks no recourse but to pretend that fondue was this whole great trendy thing.
So if you have an elaborate Jell-O dish that doesn't taste right to you, try seasoning it with the frustrated tears of that fucking Trudy from down the block who thinks she's such hot shit.
My parents were not appreciative of the tweets I showed them with the Jello monstrosities because yes they do remember seeing them at gatherings and they tasted about as vile as you'd expect.
and this is why i was so pleased to find my housemate's family's cookbooks in a cupboard. They contain a book on salads, which mostly includes things encased in jelly and the nutty banana in mayonnaise, and a book all on fondues. There's also two books in an "illustrated library of cooking" which includes a section on cooking with tinned food.
My taste for Jell-O has fallen way off since I found out what gelatin is/where it comes from. Not 'cause it's really "dirty" in any sense, after all the processing it goes through, it's just...
I imagine sitting down to a plate of boiled hair and/or nail clippings. :P
Also, when I was younger, I really didn't like ricotta in my lasagna. I loved cottage cheese (still do), but as a separate thing. A texture thing, maybe, or not making a good blend with the rest of the dish.
This, however, I've come to tolerate.

Have you read anything by Laura Shapiro? She writes pretty amazing microhistories about American food. Perfection Salad is all about the invention of home economics in the early 20th century, and Jell-O is a main character in the narrative. But Something From the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America is her masterpiece, and I think it'd really blow your hair back.
