Mixing canned soup and mushrooms with Miracle Whip, ham, and a smidge of chopped veggies was about as flashy as it got! (Or maybe they were anticipating a post-apocalyptic wasteland where owning one of the remaining cans of cream-of-anything soup was a point of pride?) (On a completely unrelated note, I still have some cans of petite diced tomatoes!)
Maybe the parsleyed rice was the showoff portion of the recipe? I hope the parsley got added at the end rather than the beginning of the rice cooking time...especially if you used the long cooking rice.
ReplyDeleteSo the showoff part isn't even technically in the recipe? That's an interesting possibility.
