Mayo vs. Miracle Whip
I had to chuckle as I read the posts. I made some tuna salad for my BFF and she raved as it didn't nearly taste like hers; she wanted to know what I put in it to make it taste so good. I named Hellmann's mayo as the main ingredient (also use white meat tuna-makes all the difference) and she's been using my recipe ever since. I thought everybody on earth used Hellmann's. Of course, my mom always used MW as it was cheaper back during the war years - and I can't stand the stuff. Ewww, but I never told her that - didn't want to get slapped in the mouth (smile).

Wow! You guys memories are fantastic. I certainly enjoyed reading them all as each one brings back my childhood. I was a little thing back in thde 40's and 50's but I remember the milk being delivered to my moms house in a glass bottle which was designed for the cream to float to the top of it. A whole loaf of twin bread was 50cents but Mr. Sam, the grocery man on the corner, would sell you half for a quarter. Sno-cones were about a nickle and oh, so good. Coca Cola came in tiny glass bottles in a machine or some places had the soda thing where you had to slide the lid open and reach in the ice cold water for your soda. I could go on and on...

Ramp Compound Butter
I must admit, I had no idea what a "ramp" was. Never heard of it where I'm from. Do they taste good? Where do you buy them?
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
lovetenfoe - ITA with you. I love Paula. I met her in person when she was here in Tampa last year. What a sweet lady. I read her book and realized, she's one of us! I've tried several of her recipes that I like and subscribe to her wonderful magazine - I can say, They Are Great! For the Naysayers out there - If you don't like her, then CHANGE THE CHANNEL!! Jeez - like the saying goes - "Life's Too Short For The Dumb Junk", you know?

Its real and its here... (as disgusting as it is)
Paula's Fried Butter Balls
2 sticks butter
2 ounces cream cheese
Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Peanut oil, for frying
Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.
When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.
Full recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/paulas-fried-butter-balls-recipe/index.html
Whats the difference between this recipe and deep fried mozarella or deep frying whole turkeys or chickens (before baking) or even Krispy Kremes which are deep fried TWICE?? All of which I cannot stomach.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
you people really need to get a grip.. its not like shes forcing you to eat any of her foods and she will tell you herself that she puts a lot of butter in her food.. i mean seriously butter and cream cheese isn't half as bad as deep fried ice cream or deep fried candy bars and twinkies.. and yes people really do fry these things or how bout Duck Confit (sp?) which is duck boiled and or baked covered in duck fat..lol fatty unhealthy recipes have been around forever, its up to us to learn self control and portion control..lol
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
people seriously...butter mixed with cream cheese isn't that crazy...if any of you have ever eaten cheesecake..guess what? its got both butter and cream cheese..only thing not there is the deep frying that paula added! :)
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
It's hard to watch Paula Deen when she is making a dish or chicken soup.
Whatever the recipe is, I have trouble getting thru her programs. No. 1 She talks over making the food and her spittal goes right into the food! Yuck!
It is not professional at all. No. 2 she tastes everything with the spoon or
fork she is using. So gross! She does not show great hygine when cooking. Her dna is going into everything she makes when talking over preparations. I would not want to eat anything she makes! At least talk
away from the dish being prepared and don't touch the dog, or your hair.
Never put the dish cloth over your shoulders either...all that hair and who know what else sitting on the shoulders. Totally grosses me right out!
Hope she takes some advice and changes many of her way's!!!

I remember my Aunt Margie cooking authentic rouladen beef rolls, tied German-neatly with strings; she called them pigs in a blanket and taught me to make them when I was a teenager.
For dessert she made sheets of big, I mean big, puffy fresh oven-baked custard -filled German creampuffs. For the ever-present cookie jar, there were always thin gingerbread cookies and the slenderest imaginable lemon sugar cookies, melt- in -your- mouth delicious. How I miss that woman~ I also remember foods we ate that my mom called depression food. Cheap, but filling concoctions which every so often I still cling to as comfort food. One really unhealthy one may bring a memory to some of you "ration-card" war babies (like me). In place of cake or bakery goods, after dinner or at breakfast, we were allowed real butter spread ona slice of bread with a light sprinkle of sugar. My granma would ask, "a bit of sugar bread for you, dearie?" Mmmm...We loved it then, along with milk in our tea, the taste of pure butter was a luxury to savor, and milk added to tea was for "special" occasions only. That was during the war, mid forties, at the time when even little tots joined in to help to smash the aluminum cans flat, recycling for the war effort. Another comfort food "penny saver" was Muellers elbow macaroni, cooked a bit "al dente", slathered with Campbell's tomato soup straight out of the can and heated with a smidge of milk, but served with a dollop of that precious rationed butter, salt and pepper. To this day I consider that a treat when I feel a bit low. Crazy connections foods make to the psyche! Please share other "hard times" foods that you may remember, especially from "ration" days of the forties.

I have been eating for close to 5 years a low carb diet. I eat tons of fat, butter, eggs, red meat, pork chops, veges galore. Have not eaten one bite of sugar, flour, rice, bread in this entire time. Not one cheat. I am not over weight, I am very healthy. So you roll your eyes and say, Wow her cholesterol must be very high. Not so. I recently had my cholesterol checked and was told they could be framed and put on a wall as being ideal. Fat is not the evil it is combining fat with high carbs that cause great problems. No I will not eat deep fried butter balls not because it is butter but because it has bread crumbs in the recipe. I love Paula, I love the South and I love southern cooking just the low carb way.

@sarahstephking: You're right. I think we may close this thread. There's not really much more to say here.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
Didn't read the article. Oops!
But, after reading some of these posts, I am not sure a lot of other people have either.
There is a lot of truly sounding negativity on Paula and on Southern food in general!
This food is not meant to be eaten everyday!
But, neither is fast food, junk food, or any other high-calorie foods.
I am not sure that a lot of people that posted are getting the joke either.
Some of the posts come off as down right mean!

@sarahstephking: THE PDITTKU series is a bit of a running gag on SE. We sort of grudgingly love and respect Ms. Dean for her over-the-top-ness.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
What is wrong with you people? Live a little!!!
Paula Deen makes homestyle cooking. What is up with these post of where can I find Creme Fraise or other European products?
You live in America don't you!!!
Eat American and shut up.
What is wrong with a lady cooking on tv?
You are all way to analytical and judgemental.
Quit sucking the happiness out of life.

This is such a problem with humanity. Judging always judging others.
No one can kill you with food without your permission!
I eat a low fat diet, that is my choice. I absolutely love watching Paula Dean. She is wonderful and fun loving person. I find myself smiling and laughing when she is on tv.
Paula so loves to cook and she loves to eat her high fat recipes.
I induldge myself by watching her eat it. She makes recipes that SHE LOVES. When I am interested in a dessert, I modify it.......hello you can subsitue heavy cream for milk etc. Don't accuse her of killing you, I'm sick of people that blame others for their health issues. Paula Dean eats what she loves to eat and if you don't like it OH you can change the channel.
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I love Paula Deen. She is one of my heros. She is comfort. She reminds me of what my what my mother did in her kitchen all of her life. My mom lived to be 94. My dad till he ws 89 when a drug taking driver killed him. If you don't like the way she cooks or what she cooks, don't listen to her. You've got a remote control, use it. "Lettuce" not forget that you've got a choice.....
I'm so old that I remember (food style)...
When I was little we spent long, hot summers in the country (upstate NY near the Conn border). My mother, who was English (a war bride) loved new vegetables, especially "baby" ones, and got us all excited about tiny carrots, etc. Most people thought this was weird. At farm stands, she would beg local farmers for tiny potatoes -- the kind that now sell for five bucks a pint. They would shake their heads at this crazy lady and go out back to get little potatoes from a barrel where they had thrown them -- intended as dinner for the pigs!

I remember when pretzels in NYC were hot and fresh and the big pickle barrels at South Street Seaport!
I wasn't around for Charles Chips but my mom took out the tins every Christmas to store her made from scratch cookies!
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I love Paula! She is a genuine and caring person. If you are "grossed" out by what she is preparing, or with receipies she's sharing with us, don't watch or prepare her food. Simple as that. Why put yourself thru all that?
Keep up the great work Paula!

Those candy-liquid filled little wax soda thingies are still around (if you know where to get them heh heh).
Every once in a while I buy a pack for each of my kids and one for myself, too.
They have to be accompanied by those little faux ice cream cone candy thingies made out of dry waffle-y stuff filled with sticky strange-textured cotton-candy-like puffs.
A virtual symphony of textures this combination has . . .

Growing up in Lehigh Valley, I remember:
- having lunch at the cafe at the top of Bamberger's (or was it Hess's) dept store
- getting a bottle (glass) of Yoohoo at the cloth store-it seemed as big as a warehouse
- getting a big ole dill pickle from the jewish deli which was next to the wine maker's supply store
- fresh funnel cakes
- The farmer's market had a stand where the Amish ground horseradish fresh to order
One of my favorite memories is going to my grandfather's sugar house in Vermont during maple season and taking home Grade A light amber!

hey btrflygirl... I remember the wax things filled with liquid too. But I really loved them! Do any of you remember the sno-cones that you could buy pre-packaged , they were with the other individual ice creams that you could buy? They were in clear packaging, blue paper cone, and the ice was red, blue and yellow. They were the best thing EVER. Oh and when they started to melt in the bottom of the paper cone it was so yummy... Whew! I also liked the Nehi peach. But the best memory is how the drink coolers SMELLED. I loved that, not sure why, but I'm pretty sure that it's just because I'm strange that way:)

@robincat, i remember those flexible 45's. they used to come in mad magazine, too. you put them on top of a hard LP to play them. my favorite was an instrumental interspersed with lots of burps.
i remember when penny candy really was a penny and our mothers didn't know that sugar was bad for us {at least mine didn't seem to} and would let us buy ginormous bags of it. i used to love one that was a styrofoam spaceship filled with hard round jimmies.
and remember gum for a penny from a machine, and the striped gumballs were called winners and could be taken back into the store for a prize?
I'm so old that I remember (food style)...
Dinner consisted of pound of ground beef 6 nights a week, which was purchased from the local butcher. On Sundays, Mom splurged and we'd have a whole chicken! Top Ramen was a "special" treat, as well as Swansons "Mexican" TV dinners, and flavored yogurts. Christmas stockings were full of walnuts and oranges. Ham hocks and beans served with a loaf of white bread that we'd decrust and roll into little dough balls. Taco Bell tacos were 25 cents each, and your order was served to you in a square cardboard box - my brother always seemed to snag the box since he was the messier of us kids. Homemade cookies in my lunchbox, that I would always trade for store bought, since I never got "store bought" cookies! (what a fool, huh?).
Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us
I have seen Paula at numerous events and parties and she is genuinely vivacious and her accent is real. She talks, laughs, and flirts with everybody. Don't be a hater!
Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 6: Cheesy Ham and Banana Casserole
Paula likes to say, "I'm a cook......not a doctor." Her accent is completely real and there are many Southerners who sound just like her! She is a happy woman who is laughing all the way to the bank. She and her family are very generous. To see photos of them at a recent benefit for Safe Shelter (for abused women and children) in Savannah, please go to spotted.savannahnow.com and type PAULA in the search box.
