I love a frito pie.
Normally, all it has to be is a pile of fritos with chili on top (I liked it without beans) and shredded cheese.

Oh, okay! I have that all the time!
The term "Fritos" confused me, I guess...

oh, do you not have Fritos there? It's just corn chips (not tortilla). They're made by Lay's here.

Yes, we have corn chips but not made by Lay's... though we have their potato chips.
Great! Now I'm sitting here with a bag of Honey, Mustard and Onion Pretzels...

Jarico loves the cheese flavored Snyder's pieces. I actually mail them to him in Spain, though they seem to be sold seasonally. I could find them in any grocery store for several months until the beginning of July.
Frito pie is a must for attending football games in the Fall. Scrumptious! It looks like crap in a bag, which is how you know it tastes divine. I love it when they use the runny nacho cheese instead of shredded cheese. It's a crunchy gooey mess. Yum!

So what's another semi-bizarre American junky food thing? I mean, we could conceivably delve into casseroles and such.
ooh, I have one! who here has had chicken baked with a coating of either Ritz crackers or Frosted Flakes?

But you know that you'll have to send me one of each thing mentioned in this thread?
#113describe a 'sloppy joe'
Posted: 8/4/06 at 12:04pm
Well, the thing is, we can't really send you these things. I suppose we could mail you Ritz crackers or Frosted Flakes, though.

GfG, when you finally receive your Manwich care package, you'll have to post your review here.
I draw the line on sending already prepared casseroles though!!

Oh, honey, my mother was the QUEEN of the cereal/cracker crumbed chicken.
Ritz crumbs actually make an absolutely DIVINE fried chicken. So rich!
Another favorite Americanistic Weirdo Food...JELL-O SALAD!!! It's fruity dairy...it's dairy fruit!!!

I linked to this page the other day. The site owner has spent her life collecting old recipe cards and is in awe of the things people used to prepare. Or still prepare, if you're at a Protestant church in the South.
I especially love the entries from the TBN cookbook (the "good Christian cooking" link).

Eww. A sloppy joe is one of the most disgusting things ever.
I can just vomit right now thinking about one.
I wouldn't try it, if I were you.

Calvin - That link reminds me of the brilliant lileks website. Everyone must check out the Gallery of Regrettable Food.
And yes, we really did have Manwiches last night and Jarico loved every bite. He's actually eating the leftovers today for lunch.
GuyfromGermany - Thanks for the link! I don't know if Jarico will order a case, but it may come in handy.

Just for the record Guy, the Lays they sell in Germany, just like the Doritos are NOT the same! The German ones are DISGUSTING!

I don't think I've had a frito pie since the last time I went to a high school football game.
(They were so good!)
