PS: What are French fried onions? Is that another "let's throw in a
random European reference to make it sound more classy"?

I thought we were Foodies! ;-)

After we found all the necessary items I congratulated her and told her that she now has everything she needs to make one of the most disgusting traditional United Statesian foods!

Onions that have been "french cut" and then fried:

North American
(of a vegetable) sliced lengthwise in thin strips.
"French-cut green beans"

So she was excited to cook something for you.
You then completely cut down her meal as the most disgusting....

Aww, Gary's defensive of Campbell's mushroom concoction.

"Water, Mushrooms, Vegetable Oil (Corn, Cottonseed, Canola, And/or
Soybean), Modified Food Starch, Wheat Flour, Contains Less Than 2% of:
Salt, Cream (Milk), Whey, Soy Protein Concentrate, Monosodium
Glutamate, Yeast Extract, Flavoring, Garlic."

Not so bad, except for the mysterious "Flavoring". Ground up toenails?

Thanks. I wonder if the French know that there's a French way to cut
beans.

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.

No, she said she was making it for friends, I assume her Indian friends.

The government regulates what is allowed to be called "flavoring".
I seem to recall toenails are specifically disallowed.

It's possible to make it from scratch and achieve much tastier
results. I still am not crazy about casseroles, so I've never
tried.

They probably just call it julienne.

Oh John, how very superior of you. I love green bean casserole, but my recipe is a little different.
And delicious. It is far from "trailer trash" food, whatever that is. But since your tastes are so
worldly and so elevated beyond what we common folk enjoy, I'm sure you would find fault with it.

Are you going to share your superior opinion of this side dish with your "lady love" after she
makes it for you? I hope not, for her sake. Instead of being so insulting, why not offer up
YOUR idea of an appropriate dish centered around green beans?

We're supposed to eat it, but we're not allowed to know what it is.
All we can hope for is that the government knows and that they're not
in the pocket of the food industry. Dodgy...

What a buzz kill. You could have not said anything and let her decide for herself. That would have been the nice thing to do.

I'll take your word for it. The only thing I can do is have a taste whenever I see that dish and hope. How many chances will I get before I die? Once, maybe twice? Let's just say that the odds are not in my favor.

My mother recruited me to make it one year for Thanksgiving dinner at
her house. I had not had it since I was a kid and tended to avoided it
after a visit to my great uncle's farm and helping him slop the pigs.
It turned out to me so much better than I expected.

I can't stand the overcooked green beans.

When we make chickan divan, we serve it over broccoli, not with
the broccoli baked in.

I'm not opposed to the squeak, although I usually cook green beans
just past the squeak.

The classic casserole uses canned green beans, so it's well past the
squeak.

Says who? According to this site:
<https://www.campbellsoup.ca/our-brands/dietary-alternatives/vegetarian/>

Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom is vegetarian, so there can't
be any gelatin in it.

Yes, canned is the other extreme.

I don't think the green bean casserole is as big a threat to Hawaiian
or any other culture as McDonalds. The French have been known to set
McDonalds franchises on fire for that reason.

I like the Alton Brown recipe:

That looks good, also with vegetable broth. I like nerdy Alton.

I think we can all picture the scene: Grocery store goes dead
silent while everybody at the checkstands stops what they're doing
and small groups of people emerge at the ends of the aisles, to
stare with green envy as John, emitting this heavenly White light,
walks into the grocery store hand-in-hand with his Lady Love wearing
his "I'm Wealthy" T-shirt. And after a few long moments of silence,
John proudly declares, "We need green beans".

No, you can't picture that? That's what John is seeing. We're
probably just watching the general release version of the movie
while John's watching the Directors Cut. Poor Lady Love is probably
wondering how to turn on the damned subtitles.

Not at all jealous! Everyone in THIS HOUSE has their own lives! And NONE OF US follow YOUR LACK OF CULTURE'S RULES!!

Because YOUR RULES/LAWS are RACIST AND EVIL!! :-( And I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THEM!! I follow MY OWN RULES!! Always have! For I am an ANARCHIST!

When I posted the recipe, I forgot to point out the problem I found with Alton's recipe is the onions. The first two times I made it I burned the onions both times, and gave up on trying to make the onions myself and went to the canned onion rings.

I suspect that Lady Love is trying to figure out
how to safely exit from his wealthy world.

When she graduates this Spring and decides to leave the boarding house for a
place of her own.
