Ya know, i'm a child of the '50's - ok, so i was born in the late 1940's,
but i don't remember much from before my 18th month.

Anyway, i NEVER ate a Tuna-Noodle Casserole until the mother of a boyfriend
served it to me for a *special* dinner in the mid-to-late 1970's!!! It was
"picture perfect" - egg noodles, canned tuna, Campbells Cream of Something
Soup (was it mushroom or was it celery or was it a can of each - i sure
didn't bother to ask). Looking back into the distant past (that was almost
25 years ago) i don't remember if it had canned slivered green beans or
canned fried onion rings or bits (some recipes call for one, some for the
other). But is WAS topped with the obligatory crumbled potato chips.

<Shudder> It really was a memorable experience, although not the kind of
memory one wishes to repeat.

My mother never cooked such things. She was experimenting with chicken
cooked with cherries in the late '50's or early '60's and didn't generally
use recipes from "Ladies Magazines". She had a Francois Pope cookbook.

So what are other folks' comfort foods? Or is this so off topic i should
instead be asking if anyone has a period recipe for Twinkies?

My comfort food is... TOFU

Anyone got a recipe for Cream Abdul Jabbar? Ike and Tina Tuna? Patty Hearst
Melt?
