Did you all notice that her table is covered with plastic with a tablecloth beneath the plastic?  :sidesplit:

this is an extremely common thing around here, particularly in working class households, also new money people... when I lived in Toronto, a lot of first generation european immigrants kept plastic covers over their chairs and couches, which seemed kind of similar

It 100% reminds me of a little "B&B" we stayed at when we were in Newfoundland.  It was in a little town named Placentia and the only option there -- basically someone's home with a couple of extra bedrooms named The Best Kind B&B. 

CG I think I remember reading a while back that the name comes from a colloquialism but I'm not sure?

I feel like I don’t have any older relatives that did not do the plastic table cover. I definitely can’t picture a naked table at any of their houses.

I am in Dublin at the moment and I am decidedly not a fan of Irish food (I realize there are good restaurants in Dublin, they just aren't "Irish"). Everything is overcooked (ESPECIALLY the vegetables, when you can get them) and the only seasoning used is salt.

Much like the Newfie cuisine, it just makes me think "old people food."

Right, that’s what so great about this thread. Food photography is notoriously difficult, and most of this stuff is not really the kind of food that “foodie” people typically take pictures of. It’s all just so church potluck pride, which I’m loving.

I’m sure I’d eat and enjoy almost everything in this thread if my Aunt Rosemary made it for me. (Maybe not the bologna thing... but I’d try it to be polite.) It might all be ugly but it’s probably decent food, if not quite Instagram ready.

I have some old cookbooks from my grandmothers' and DH's grandmother's church.  Some funny recipes in them and most would be at home in the retro food thread but some are also delicious!  Not pretty but wonderful comfort food.

Good one, Dorothy.  I like bologna, so I could probably eat this.  Nothing on the ingredients list that seems especially noxious, except maybe the sugar.  Oh, and the miracle whip. 

2 -1/2 - cups bologna (grind)
2 - Tbsp.Celery ( diced)
2 - Tsp. onion (Diced)
2 - Eggs ( boiled & diced)
1/2 - cup miracle whip
1 - Tbsp. yellow mustard
4 - Tsp. sweet pickled relish
1 - Tbsp. white sugar
1/4 - Tsp Basil

So put a slice of bologna on your egg salad sandwich.

What will Dorothy use the other 1/2 of the soup mix for?  Surely she won't let it go to waste.  I need to know.

It does!

And is the plate huge?  I can't figure out the portions.
