And in came Kar2oonman vomiting greenbean casserole comments all over it. You might as well say you invited Satan for Thanksgiving dinner by having that hideous puke brown and green colored mushy glob of slop on your table! Where do you stand? Lisann22's team? We serve food that actually tastes and looks lovely? or Kar2oonman's team? Where you serve food that looks and tastes like your 6 year old made mud pies with worms and leaves and you threw it on the table and tried to pass it off as a traditional dish? Take a side people! It's never too early to rebuke, decry, bemoan and stick your nose in the air OR sadly and pathetically who your lack of refinement and good taste by singing the praises for that God-awful dish.

Here's what the drama queens who hate GBC are missing: This dish is a delightful, all-American celebration of the heartland. Why, you can practically hear Uncle Miltie on the TV with your first bite, imagine Walt Disney, in glorious black & white, telling viewers about his magical new place: Disneyland. It's warm, welcoming mixture of Campbell's soup & veggies, topped with crispy french fried onions -- magnificent! What are you gonna replace this classic with, some ridiculous Food network froofy side dish no one will get near? NO! Green Bean casserole is a must, the cornerstone of the modern American Thanksgiving feast. GBC lovers appreciate culture, tradition, harmony -- not new-fangled fads. If the GBC haters had their way, everyone would sit around a fondue pot every Thanksgiving. GBC lovers want a hunk of pie and a cup of strong coffee after dinner. They're ready for an evening playing cards and laughter. Meanwhile, the haters retreat to their room to practice sneering at things. Like the Constitution. And kittens.

Not even yummy french fried onions can save this dish! And 2ooney, the only thing we are sneering at is your lack of taste.

Did vampires invent this concoction? Green beans belong in garlic, not swimming in congealed broth. I do, however, believe in that can of onion topping. There is always a place for those somewhere, but they should NEVER be used to mask the disqusting marriage of greenbeans and slop. Oh,I do love that coffee and hunk of pie at the end of the day, but must those two be a reward for suffering the attack of that hell in a dish?

GBC is like a Busby Berkeley dance number -- or an aqua ballet by Ester Williams. You can imagine a whole kick line of green beans poised on the edge of the casserole dish, neatly diving into the pool of cream of mushroom soup in formation, forming stars and other geometric patterns, with a big finish of a cascade of crispy onions raining down upon them. Cut! Fantastic people! Print it!
