Are Casseroles a Crime Against Humanity?

[notmyown]

I'm hungry now!
When's dinner? I'm coming over
wait, wait, wait.
you've got that exciting zip lining wedding to go to tonight
how bout tomorrow?
hmmm, on 2nd thought, maybe someone should bring dinner to you

the kids came last weekend to check up on dad. our son said he'd be in charge of the food, and he and his wife stopped and got trays of veggies and dip, lettuce and tomatoes, hard rolls, and about a hundred dollars worth of cold cuts.

and they JUST had their first child on the eighth! need i say my new grandson is gorgeous? i tried so hard to avoid passing him around, and i thought the effort was heroic!

uh-oh, seoul is NOT gonna like those peas

So, does that mean (according to @seoulsearch ) that this particular casserole is a crime?

You can peas some of the people all of the time, and you can peas all of the people some of the time, but you can't peas all of the people all of the time.

What would YOU do if you sat down to this?

And so, what does our Cuisinally Courageous Community here on CC think about casseroles?

* Are casseroles really a crime of humanity? Why or why not?

* What are some casseroles you love -- and some that you loathe?

* Were you raised on casseroles but have grown up -- leaving them behind? Do you/will you feed them to your own family?

That doesn't look appealing at all to me, but I might try it just 'cause I'm weird like that. And I mean, I'd only try it lol.

Anyway, I love casseroles. And I do not think they are a crime of humanity. I didn't really grow up with very many casseroles. I didn't grow up in a church going family. I grew up with my grandparents in the country and they ran a bar lol. My meals were country meals and backwoods meals.

Anyway, I like casseroles because some are very tasty and as you said they are comforting. I used to make white trash casserole (many people call it tator tot casserole) often because it was a comfort food to me.
Breakfast casserole is another one I've made several times. Southern squash casserole is definitely a fave (but it's only a fave if I make it lol). There are others. I don't see why people are against them. To each there own. To me, they are tasty, comforting, can be fun to make, and the leftovers can be equally or even more comforting.

What's not comforting to me...I don't want gelatin in my casserole! That's horrid (to me). Mackerel also won't ever be found in my casseroles. I don't really have anything against mackerel, I just don't want it in my casseroles.[/QUOTE]

Now I'm trying to figure out how I would make a mackerel casserole that would be tasty.

No way to soften a flavor like that with cream and milk...

Best to just go all-in. Gorgonzola cheese and mustard. Maybe a pinch of brown sugar. It would be awfully strong, but has a chance of being very savory.

My aunt will turn 102 in January. She played golf every week until 3 years ago.

Dad says roll the mackerel in panko crumbs, and bake apple slices in the casserole with it. Not for a dessert casserole, just apples in the savory mackerel casserole.

Nice. My grandfather lived to be 100. He bowled well into his 90s, and volunteered at the hospital longer than that.

I'd try a mackerel casserole, although I do not intend to make one myself. I actually am not put off by mackerel. In fact, I cooked mackerel patties last night. But, I do have a hard time imagining that I'd like mackerel in a casserole.

So why did she quit?!? Just feeling more reckless after making a century?

 

[Godsgirl1983]

Hmm...me wonder...

how many crimes committed in kitchens last week?

 

[Lynx]

From what I've heard, it's only a crime if you get caught.

 

[I_am_Canadian]

Only when your fasting

There's generally plenty of evidence as casseroles don't get eaten.

Depends on the casserole. Depends on who made it.

Certain casseroles from certain people never last very long at church dinners here. We know who made them and we know they are good.

The problem with good casseroles is, too many people know who made them and that they are good. There's never any leftovers.
