My spouses family has a lot of southern US dishes that are absolutely hurt, but I think the weirdest is pineapple au gratin. Thank potato au gratin but with pineapple instead of potatoes and no other changes.

I’m sorry what the fuck

anglo-burn food especially among the ruling class often involves plundering raw ingredients from colonized people without understanding a damn thing about how to cook these new ingredients and just having their servants or slaves make disgusting things like this as a way of showing off what a rich piece of shit they were to other rich pieces of shit

Hence the existence of pineapple au gratin

Tbf this sounds like some 60s recipe Dole came up with because they had excess pineapple inventory

It is, ultimately, probably both.

Put it in a wrestling ring with a casserole tray of Aunt Myrna's Party Cheese Salad

Here’s another “southern hurt dish” for ya: pear salad.

It’s half a canned pear with mayonnaise on the flat half, then mild cheddar stuck into the mayo, topped with a maraschino cherry.

No, it’s not good. No, I don’t know why it exists. Send help.
