I have a feeling some home economics teachers thought getting cute with the name would help them get rid of leftovers, as this recipe from Quick and Easy Dishes (Favorite Recipes of Home Economics Teachers, 1978 edition) suggests.
I'm not so sure their families were psyched about "Repeat Meat," but at least they tried. (Better than mystery meat, I suppose!)
I was just hoping that it didn't look like vomit in a pan. That would be the wrong kind of repeat. I'm also surprised that they would use refrigerator biscuits. I guess that they are the modern, progressive home ec teachers.
ReplyDeleteYou're not gonna put that much effort into it when the meal itself is just leftover pre-cooked food mixed up in gravy.
DeleteI'm sorry, but repeating meat makes me think of Fanny Cradock, who said on her Christmas bird episode that greasy roast duck or goose makes your elderly relatives say they can't eat it "because you see it does --repeat-- so!"
ReplyDeleteXD I wouldn't think elderly relatives would have a good strategy for getting out of eating things they didn't want to eat. (Maybe I'm just too used to them trying to force other people to eat things they don't want...)
