fun fact, that plate has lead in it.
showing lead (Pb) from the pattern.
Damn is this your picture? Did my comment cause you to go and test for yourself? Cuz thats amazing if you did lol
I'm pretty sure that's Corelle. Do they still do this today? Because all of our dishware are fucking Corelle
Edit: Ok so they stopped putting lead since 2005 so we should be safe. But how come they only stopped in 2005
Not sure, regulations probably? Too worn out from existing today to Check
Wouldn’t surprise me if money > children’s brains, this is America after all
Properly fired it's pretty tough to get any meaningful amount of lead out of a glaze on ceramics.
I'd bet they did it because of pressure from customers.
But how come they only stopped in 2005
Probably ran out of their stock of lead around that time
I have corelle (or corealle?) but mine are all white and don’t have the decorative print. Does that mean mine are safe from lead?
What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?
The paint in the pattern
I still own a few of those plates... 😶
i do too, they aren't used anymore though.
That's not very fun
It sure will be when the lead-induced delirium kicks in.
You can play poker with the symbols on the outside.
Oh no, I ate off plates like this as a kid. That explains a lot.
Most of that looks like it already passed through a person once.
At least once..
..the brown slop on the left could easily be a two’fer!
I don't know why, but the word "hotdish" bothers me; I guess because I assume it refers to sort of dish/vessel rather than food.
It's a dish served hot! As opposed to those crappy cold cuts they usually serve.
It’s a sex thing.
If you're putting the actual serving dish into the oven, as you do with casserole, I kind of get it.
I also feel seen in a really weird way. That Corelle, the gray hot dish, the lump of "salad". Except the french cut beans. Mom never sprang for that. Dad did sometimes though.
I don't know what that grey lump actually consists of, but for some reason I think it probably tastes really good. I have no basis for this belief, but I would try that. I'd probably take a too-large helping and regret it shortly thereafter.
I grew up where we did casserole instead of hotdish, but that looks like it's rice, celery, carrot, onion, and canned cream of mushroom soup.
Idk what rice hot dish is but it looks just like my vomit from last week.
It's actually really good although the stuff in the picture looks like it wasn't made very well.
I was alive in 1987 and I was never served anything resembling this. What in hell is that?
Alive in 1987... but in Minnesota or the greater midwest, USA? Alive doesn't cut it. Did you even live life if you didn't eat this?
How got-dang popular were those plates? Had me hundreds of (probably lead-tainted) dinners on those bad boys.
Got-dang? Is that supposed to be a stand-in for goddamn?
You know that jello salad slaps though. You can just tell.
EDIT: upon further inspection, that's ambrosia fruit salad. Probably no jello, but rather Coolwhip. Quite tasty still.
This got re-posted to !minnesota@midwest.social, where we actually know what a hotdish is.
(It's a casserole. /s)
A? Hotdish?!? Get him!
Dogfood on the right, catfood on the left, goat chow in the middle
I used to think I hated vegetables as a kid. Turns out I hated my parents "cooking"
This is why Americans aren't allowed to make fun of British food.
Not even comparable😂 Americans look back at this and laugh or cringe, Brits still eat their old-timey slop
Hey most of us stopped eating that way.
And started eating way, way worse
My man
Yes, that is what home made food looks like sometimes.
You're not in a restaurant, the "cook" isn't payed, and presentation is not high on the priorities list if you also have to do dishes, wash clothes, and organize life for the family, possibly in addition to a job.
Bruh I cook at home all the time and it never just looks like baby shit.
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.
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.
