  1. As much as they can be while still in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma
  2. Among other things, Tyson fucked up with their choice of rooster families so we have a divot in chicken production because of that.
  3. While I like the stuff, and eat it on many things, including burgers and love a good peanut butter milkshake, I have absolutely no brand or type preference and generally just buy whatever is at eye level in the store. Is there any real reason with it too have a favorite or a style that’s above the rest?
  4. I need to remember to get my families tomato preserves recipe too
  5. One side of my family does that. Other had salad dressing(the Natural Light to Miracle Whips Busch Light) Also lots of summer sausage in place of other lunch meats. If Grandpa was involved in the planning might see a little heart and lung loaf.
  6. We do the soft boiled eggs to minus the vinegar
  7. Nothing like folks that have gotten a shit load of free money being mad that other folks who have historically been denied access to the same amounts of free money are getting a slightly different amount of free money this time when they themselves are still getting plenty of free money
  8. Those are all survey based and the focus on the bigger sheep holders. So it includes the Aggy that fucks a lot of different sheep, but likely not the Aggy that fucks one or two sheep a lot.
  9. Shouldn’t be any shame in eating or fucking
  10. Speaking of braunschweiger, we have dip/spread that is basically adding a layer of cream cheese to braunschweiger and providing crackers. Also have a beloved dishes that is an apples, sweet potato and sausage casserole. Also, I’ve at far more pork ribs in my life that were made in an electric skillet and covered in kraut than any other way
  11. They got some really good baked goods too. One of my Grad School classmates would make everyone Lebanese Easter cookies and they were amazing too. (Can’t remember the actual name of them)
  12. I suppose I should note that bread at dinner time was also topped with margarine and various jellies. (To be fair oleo was written on reusable margarine container)
  13. One of my Grandpa's just made what he called slop all the time, where he just mixed whatever he could find in the fridge and cooked and ate it. (He also loved mixing salad dressings together in the bottles and putting them back.) He cooked his own meals, and grandma cooked for everyone else. Also refused to wear his dentures and just gummed meat until he could swallow. Also quit wearing pants once he lost his legs to the diabetes too.
  14. Because they way I do it is how Grandma served it too me and I never saw any reason to change.
  15. I don't dunk, crumble them cover with milk, consume with spoon.
  16. I suppose I should note I ate shit ton of miracle whip sandwiches growing up too. Graham crackers in milk as well. (Still do sometimes too on Graham crackers)
  17. Reuters often uses me as source so they’ve got to be good right?
  18. As I’m getting married soon, I’ve been trying to explain some of my family legacy dishes to my fiancé, like that our beloved beans and weenies recipe is hot dogs sliced vertically into green beans and a white sauce, we dip cookies and bars into leftover fruit syrup from canned fruit as part of dessert, and all still know how to make and like head cheese among other things. Mostly I’m trolling to see if anyone else did the hot dogs and green bean things but want to hear about other oddball dishes
  19. Beef producers are fucked here because nobody has invested in packing capacity in the last 20 years, and we are struggling to keep current despite huge packer margins and beef demand. There are some expansions in the works but it will take time. At the same time pork producers are in good shape because they actually built their own plants instead of relying on the packers to do it, and once numbers short out from the backing up of a year ago, will be in real good shape. The US beef herd is still shrinking which is going to keep prices elevated longer there, (already there at the retail level, will get there for cattle probably into 2022)
  20. Eh, the USDA has been out to lunch on grain numbers since they overestimated the 2019 crop and tried to bullshit their way through it, grains would be even higher if it was for Covid because wouldn’t of lost a bit of use last spring while we lost acres on excess moisture/lack of incentive in the north. Biggest thing here is the SnapBack on China trade and their hog herd bouncing back from ASF, and the US crop finishing dry on soybeans last year and the derecho fucking up Iowa corn just enough that it exposed the USDA bullshitting just in time for Brazil’s second crop of corn to go dry while Russia restricted exports because they had been bullshitting about wheat stocks too.
  21. They indeed did sell all their cars in a panic at the beginning of the pandemic to stave off a cash crunch
  22. Still plenty of 585 M-M propane irrigation motors running on top of the Ogllala Aquifer today that date back to the 60s and 70’s.
  23. Exactly, people shifted their habits, and became less tolerant of certain things. People who thought they'd never do anything else for work, found that they liked something else better. It doesn't take a big shift percentage wise in the amount of availability to lever into a much bigger shift, and trying to pin it all one thing isn't going to reverse changes.
  24. Hey sometimes an industry just sees a massive sea change that creeps up on people, just ask the old line packers and their highly paid union work forces that disappeared 40-50 years ago. Smaller generational cohort, and competition from other jobs, may not leave enough of a work force for the current food service base.
