My mom after feeding me canned green beans for years watching me wolf down green beans at my house

"You hated veggies when you were a kid."

...sure, mom

I looked my mother in the eyes after a long day once and responded to a similar statement with "No, I hated your chilli when I was a kid."

She really does make the absolute worst chilli I've ever tasted. It's so bland. There is almost no chilli powder in it, just some salt and a little bit of pre-ground pepper from a packaged salt/pepper shaker. The recipe amounts to "throw some hamburger and tomato sauce with canned beans in a pot and cook it for an hour and then add random amounts of all THREE seasonings"

It's a wonder I survived to be able to cook on my own.

Was the chili really that bad you had to hurt your mother's feelings about it? I feel you hated more than just her chili...

Ahhh the Midwest classic of I don't need recipes I just throw impossibly small amounts of seasoning in despite there being literal pounds of vegetables and ground meat in it.

Don't forget to cook your venison through with only a little butter so you don't get sick! A fucking alligator couldn't bite through that shit.

My kids are the opposite. We can sauté up some fresh green beans and make them so good, but the kids only want to eat the canned ones.

Lol there's just something so fun about the canned ones when you're a kid I guess

My mom was a hippie and made her own bread and we always ate homemade food. When I went away to camp, I was the one pigging out on the sugary breakfast cereals like Froot Loops etc. while the other kids were busy being amazed by the eggs and pancakes and whatnot.
