@saragoodtimes thank you for splainin what congealed salad is. think I'll pass though. I'd make a terrible Southerner

@saragoodtimes fruit cocktail ( drained) in gelatin or shredded carrots on orange jello

@TexChik carrots on jello, is that a side or dessert?

@saragoodtimes mom made it as a side dish , served alongside the Sunday roast or ham .

@TexChik Mom made rigatoni served along with baked chicken.

@saragoodtimes yum! When I was a kid , growing up on a farm in the red dirt of Texas ... the only Italian cuisine available to us was “ Ragu” ! 😉

@TexChik would be expelled from the family for using a jarred sauce

@TexChik [i][c=#BF0080]My kids’ uncle used to call me Prego cause he saw my reaction tasting it before knowing his wife used it. I wasn’t trying to be mean, I just didn’t expect it- her father was from Italy. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 My mom still jars tomatoes every fall and uses them to make her sauce in the winter.

@saragoodtimes we didn’t know of any other kind ... it was much better than the spaghetti sauce served at the church fellowship dinners ... pink water with a few grains of boiled hamburger meat . When Mac made me spaghetti the first time I thought it was chili . I asked him why he was putting chili on spaghetti . He , while wearing his apron , pushed my chair up to the table , put some Parmesan on my food for me ... and fed me every bite . Gave me sips of wine , and gently wiped my mouth as I ate . He just watched my expression as I enjoyed that wonderful food I had never tasted before ... I was so buzzed from the wine and turned on by his loving attention that he didn’t get to eat ! 😉

@TexChik I made congealed orange juice with shredded carrots and pineapple.

@TexChik now that sounds like a Meal. I might be the only Italian that doesn't like spaghetti though. only pasta I push to the side

@SweetMae yes ! Pineapple ! That was a treat to have that added to the salad .

@saragoodtimes [i][c=#BF0080]That’s the best way to do it. The only other way I like it is with red pack or tuttorossi unseasoned, crushed and purée tomatoes. It has to be made a certain way though. [/c][/i]

@TexChik The twins enjoyed that.

@saragoodtimes [i][c=#BF0080]Have you tried Barilla Fideo? It’s basically cut spaghetti. [/c][/i]

@saragoodtimes he made it himself , none of that dry stuff . My head was spinning from all the wonderful things he introduced me to that night 😁

@MellyMel22 red pack and Tutteroso are the only canned I use to make my sauce
