My guess is that young non-white people regard green bean casserole to be some kind of mythical, magical, white people food. It is one of the few foods that my son will cook. He makes a giant pan of the stuff for parties. Evidently, it's a hit with the kids.

It was a great disappointment for me when I first had a taste of green bean casserole. It tasted like canned green beans and canned soup. In this case, the dish is not greater than the sum of it's parts. The arrival of green bean casserole to Hawaii probably signals the end of our island culture.
