Here’s what my folks back in Iowa are enjoying today. Do your parents ever send you pics of their meals?

the only good item in that picture is the beer glass

>>21446819 (OP)
Why does that Ketchup have a hand written date on it? Is that when it was opened?

>>21446819 (OP)
Yjk these boomers voted trump

>>21446819 (OP)
Bavarians absolutely seething after seeing this

>>21446831
but that was you, chud boomoid

>>21446819 (OP)
are those sausages boiled?

>>21446844
Nah nah I mean these flyover boomers

>>21446819 (OP)
>slaw AND potato salad
redundant

>>21446819 (OP)
It’s funny how hard it can be to find bratwurst outside the midwest. I know there are lots of germans there but you’d think it would have spread more, it’s just a darn good sausage.

do americans really drink beer for lunch

>>21446829
Yeah, she always does that. Not really sure why.

>>21446819 (OP)
Huh. I've never heard of putting ketchup on bratwurst.

>>21446852
do you not see the grill marks

>>21446996
I seriously thought that was smeared streaks of poo

>>21446819 (OP)
I live in Northern MO, my food will look like this, I am making brats and potato salad

>>21446819 (OP)
Why the fuck is there ketchup on that table.
>>21446842
You have no idea. Nothing pisses me off more when people disrespect the animal with their shitty cooking and then boast about how good they made it.

>>21447019
Post when done

>>21446819 (OP)
Why are you allowing them to starve and eat desperation food?

>>21447091
Had to make some early brats for the kids, will post my later brats

>>21447163
What happened to the bottom one?

>>21447150
What?

>>21447163
You need to clean that grill bro

>>21446819 (OP)
Is that real tomato catsup eddie?
Or do you suspect ma just poured junky stuff in there back when she dated it

To answer your question
No, my parents dont have my number

>>21446956
Guarantee she doesn't know either, and if you ask the reason makes less sense.

>>21446819 (OP)
ty for sharing anon. I saved the picture to my phone and I will look at it again later, and wonder what kind of people your parents are.
here is a pic my parent's food

>>21446956
>>21447385
so you know how long ago it was opened.
I can see it was opened in 2024, so clearly your parents don't use that much ketchup.

>>21446819 (OP)
That potato salad looks good

>>21446819 (OP)
my parents are dead 10 years, and neither knew how to use a smart phone.

>>21446829
most likely doesn't use ketchup very often.

>>21447207
I ate it lol

>>21446819 (OP)
why are you posting our pictures on this image board? call mom, we need to talk about this

>>21447395
Looks delicious, too bad about the runoff liquid but I bet it has amazing flavor

>>21447398
I don't see any herbs or seasoning in it at all.

What a bizarre image.
Its dimensions are meant to give the impression is it AI but the legible text and brands make that impossible.
The food is disgustingly unappealing making one question whether they are really eating boiled sausages, or they want the viewer to not feel they missed out not being there; or they want the viewer to fuck off entirely and so are merely pretending they ate this.

Unfortunately the truth will forever remain one of life's mysteries.

>>21447544
I think you're reading too much into it, schizoid

i live in the midwest and my neighbors who are a family made up of an autistic white academic guy and his polish wife in their fifties and their parents, old chill poles and old chill blue collar white americans, and the son, who is like 18 and a 155 iq sociopathic autist, are having their usual holiday barbecue throwdown drag out fight in their hilarious accents. nothing is funnier than someone flying into a rage with a great lakes accent while the grandparents just sit around the table sipping beer

>>21447544
>Its dimensions are meant to give the impression is it AI
SHUT THE FUCK UP
people still take pictures you know? faggot

>>21447544
>Its dimensions are meant to give the impression is it AI
no, they do not
>but the legible text and brands make that impossible
kek, wrong again

>>21447544
>Unfortunately the truth will forever remain one of life's mysteries.
or we could ask the OP

>>21446819 (OP)
My mom has always been a shitty cook so no

>>21447395
>pizza soup
now i've seen everything

>>21447399
>my parents are dead 10 years, and neither knew how to use a smart phone.
i envy them

>>21447823
The best time to be dead is 10 years ago, but the second best time is today. Yours, Abraham Lincoln.

>>21447399
lol fuck you asshole

>>21446819 (OP)
I'm so fortunate my parents are too old and out of touch to have gotten smartphones or social media accounts. That must be so weird getting texts and shit from mom and dad.

>>21446867
How? One's vegetables and fiber and the other is just starch and carbs. It's like saying "why would you have salad AND fries? They're the same thing."

You're stupid.

>>21447397
This. My mom does this with stuff like the Costco plastic wrap to see how many years it takes to go through one. It's three years.

>>21446944
And breakfast, and dinner

>>21447989
They’re both soaked in mayo that’s why

>>21447989
>>21448843
Yeah, I prefer a tangy oil-and-vinegar pasta salad, for a little bite against the creamy rich potato salad. Unless it's a mustard potato salad but it seems like nobody makes those anymore.

>>21447090
Ketchup goes with every single item on that table

>>21447979
no thanks, I'm straight.

Alcoholics are worse than pot smokers sometimes, especially when their entire identity revolves around getting smashed every possible moment when they are awake.

>>21446944
What's wrong with a beer at lunch, the french drink wine every chance they get

>>21449124
What does that have to do with this thread?

>>21449130
>the french drink wine every chance they get
I'm surprised most of their kids don't have epicanthal folds on their eyes like most Asians.
You know, from alcohol related birth defects?

>>21449149
>What does that have to do with this thread?
Look at OP's picrel, and...
>>21446944
>do americans really drink beer for lunch
>>21448503
>And breakfast, and dinner
Or are you trying to distract us from the fact that you brought attention to your own alcoholism, which none of us would know about if you hadn't asked that question?

>>21449150
Drinking a small glass of wine with your meal doesn't mean that you get smashed drunk like an American retard. There is barely any alcohol in your body when you drink responsibly.

>>21449155
How is one beer getting you smashed drunk? We're talking lunch not dinner.

>>21449155
>Drinking a small glass of wine with your meal doesn't mean that you get smashed drunk like an American retard. There is barely any alcohol in your body when you drink responsibly.
We weren't talking about European strategies for keeping the delirium tremens at bay.

>>21449153
holy fuck you're actually retarded

>>21446944
Based idiot American trying to larp as a foreigner

>>21449159
>delirium tremens

The fact that you think everyone that drinks alcohol is doing it to get drunk proves that you're American. That's what your drinking culture is because it's a nation of retards.

>>21446819 (OP)
And this is why flyovers are a joke. You think that people, by which I mean real people with money, are eating like this in major cities?

>>21449197
I'd rather sit down and eat with a flyover than in a fancy restaurant having $50 cocktails with a faggot.

>>21449210
So the quality of the food means nothing to you? Why are you even on /ck/ - Food & Cooking?

>>21447989
>One's vegetables
it's kind of funny that americans seemingly don't know that potatoes are vegetables while at the same time thinking corn is a vegetable

>>21449213
Who you eat with is half the experience of the meal, genuine folk having a genuine meal with nice sides is filling, meanwhile your inane love of cocks isn't going to be a nice conversation because I'm having a fancy steak.

>>21449222
I eat alone, dingus.

>>21446819 (OP)
They wouldn't dare send me pictures like that

>>21449239
Yeah, because you'd throw an autism fit and nobody wants to see that.

Sometimes. They usually look pretty good. I should pick my mom's brain for her recipes before she dies.

>>21446819 (OP)
>literal slop
jesus...

>>21449278
You would need a written recipe to make that?

>>21449304
Do you understand how the difference in one ingredient can completely alter the taste of a recipe? Do you know what a recipe is?

>>21449311
What's your iq?

>>21449314
What's your IQ? Do you think his mother makes one single dish for every meal? Do you think he wants to know the ingredients and nothing else?

>>21449315
It's meat and potatoes, my guy

>>21449314
>believing in IQ in 2025

>>21449320
I bet this take goes really hard if you're 80 iq

>>21449319
>>21449314
>>21449304
>>21449296
your self-improvement challenge for today: stop being a massive faggot. easy mode: at least try not to be the biggest faggot in any given conversation

>>21449213
There's nothing low quality about OP's food. Fuck off. It's not another fast food thread so quitcher bitching.

>>21449216
No, foreigner. It's nothing like that. We consider both potatoes AND corn to be starches, not vegetables. It's not funny because it's not true. Sure, they're not meats and technically they'd be vegetation, but they aren't in the same category as spinach or broccoli. Why not try being smarter before posting next time, you stinking non-American garbage person?

>>21449296
>literal slop

Shows whole, solid food, none of which is pourable.

You don't understand what 'literal' means, anon. Congrats, you're the average zoomer faggot retard.

>>21449338
a potato is a root vegetable, fella, same as the carrot that's in your precious slaw. i feel sorry for your tard wrangler (you do have one i hope?)

>>21449332
Judging from what I've seen I think I can give you the recipe. Get some meat and some carrots, put them in picrel with a cup of tap water. Cook in your oven at 350 degrees for two hours. Then peel some yukon gold potatoes and boil them until they're soft. To make the gravy, take the pan leavins' from your roaster pan and mix them with a slurry of cornstarch (follow the directions on the container)

>>21449374
>>21449278
i think those potatoes are either steamed or peeled after boiling, not before

>>21449376
Does it matter?

>>21449379
yeah, if the point is to accurately deduce what a recipe is.

>>21449383
Your mom said peel 'em first

>>21449388
she doesn't even speak english so i doubt it

>>21449390
She might have been saying "spray it all over me" I wasn't paying much attention, I guess.

>>21449379
Potatoes boiled in their skin are healthier. Because the vitamins from the skin pass into the potatoes. Peeling the potatoes before cooking causes them to lose vitamins.

>>21446819 (OP)
Nice vitamins

>>21446842
Why is it broken in the middle?

>cock washed down with a warm glass of piss

>>21449372
Nta, but a potato is a tuber. We don't consider potatoes vegetables where I come from. I think it's probably so kids can't say they ate their "veggies" after eating a bowl of potato chips or fries, lol. Their nutrition is generally undervalued and their tendency to become toxic is overlooked.

>>21450279
Probably get more yummy chemicals from the skins, too. Isn't glyphosate just delicious *and* nutritious?

>>21452844
Old people know how to keep their drinks cold, anon.

>>21449158
Nta, but up here in the PNW there are numerous breweries that produce beers with 8%+ alcohol content and one tallboy can get you ripped if you don't drink often. I realize you have to be a real lightweight in order to get ripped off one 8%'er and a tallboy is kinda more than one drink, but the point is that breweries here keep pushing the alcohol % as high as they can. It just keeps going up.

>>21446842
Why? Its not a Weißwurst.

>>21452895
In Scandanavia they have 10%+ beers
I even saw a 12 once

>>21453033
Yeah, we got those, too. Americans have a tradition of light ABV beer, so it's a bit novel to slug a biggun.

>>21446819 (OP)
Those wursts look sad.
