Originally Posted By debtee I've never tasted this Green bean casserole...never heard of it before today. However I visited that link with the recipe and at the risk of incurring the wrath of my fellow poster's.....I have to say it looks quite tasty. Yummy in fact! Why don't you like it?

If it falls to me to assume that role and take that bullet, I'll gladly do my duty. I gotta do what I gotta do. So... no disrespect meant, hon. Er, "dude." Wait, that's not right! "Chief!" I meant to say "Chief." Green Bean Casserole is quintessentially American. It's pragmatic. Economical. Convenient. Appealing. Effective. It is a shining example of American Design, the epitome of US Ingenuity. A 50-year-old legacy of National Greatness. But you are certainly welcome to trash it. It's your right. Part of our great American heritage (for which GBC itself fought so bravely in at least three wars, I might add). BTW, WhiteTrash Cuisine is the new "fusion." Emeril and Todd are ALL about it now. Just so you know.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 debtee, trust me. The very magic of GBC is that the canned ingredients somehow combine to taste... fresh. Creamy. Comforting. Crunchy. Delicious. Nutritious. Good... and Good FOR You!
