Meals like this are exactly why I don’t ever use condensed soup in anything I make. I’ve had a lot of meals like that growing up. My family, my grandparents, my friends families… My wife still will make stuff like this sometimes. It’s all just lazy mush to me. I can’t stand it. Even my mother-in-law, who makes her own soup stock and makes bread and has her own chickens will make condensed soup and canned green bean mush. I just do not understand.
Food conglomerates had tried to sell a more efficient vision of the kitchen to working mothers:
Less food prep time meant more time for family and career. But it also meant more sales of processed food and the extinction of the skills required to prepare food.
The children of the seventies and eighties were among the first to experience this change toward preprepared foods.
Actually that wild rice dish looks fine. Mirepoix, manoomin, cream of mushroom… bit of seasoning and it’s a nice hearty dish in the winter.
