flattery may be the most sincerest form of imitation

I’m glad the photos are

I’m glad the photos are back, too! And I just noticed that marty193’s photo is strikingly similar to mine! I can’t believe it took me this long to figure it out – and I even had to have it pointed out to me...

It's great....... they're

Your wording is very Shaggy

Your wording is very Shaggy from “Scooby Doo,” and that makes me happy. I also noticed the lack of avatars, but you can still see each person’s picture by clicking on their username.

To my ma the dish was called

mittens — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 12:01:38 -0600

To my ma the dish was called BBQ hamburger. Pretty simple and straightforward but I know on "Roseanne" they were called loose meat sandwiches and I've also eaten Tendermaid sandwiches which are basically the same thing.

As far as the casserole.hot dish debate; hot dish is made at home, casseroles are given to grieving families after a death.

I think the Maid-Rites are

Ray Sandey — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:54:56 -0600

I think the Maid-Rites are also termed loose-meat sandwiches. They are a bit different than your typical sloppy joe.

Yes, i've heard of

ReneeF — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:13:07 -0600

Yes, i've heard of sandwiches being called Taverns. My Nanna (who lives in N. Iowa) made "taverns" once for a family reunion. She browned hamburger and ground pork and combined that mixture with onions and something else (can't quite remember the entire recipe) and served it on a bun. My mom (also originally fom N. Iowa) calls such sandwiches Made-Rites. They are usually browned hamburger mixed with ketchup, mustard and chili powder and served on a bun (tastes great with a pickle!).

As for the casserole/hot dish debate ... i think a hot dish is a main dish/meal, i.e. tator tot hot dish and a casserole is a side dish, i.e. green bean casserole. Is there room for both terms in our culinary vocabulary?

Do I look fat in my picture?

Mathias Baden — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 09:37:58 -0600

Do I look fat in my picture? If I had hotdish around all the time, I'd definitely be fatter -- I could eat the stuff all day long. By the way, your tease is taken with a grain of salt ...

My mother mixed chicken

jennyjean4 — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 09:07:15 -0600

My mother mixed chicken gumbo soup with burger and served it in a bun. She called this a tavern. There has to be someone out there that has heard of this term for a sandwich. I'll admit that the definition of tavern is "an establishment where liquors are sold to be drunk on the premises", but in So. Dak. we also use it as a name for a sandwich that was probably served at such establishments. Can't someone back me up on this?

Creme of Mushroom or Tomato

Ray Sandey — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 23:24:03 -0600

Creme of Mushroom or Tomato soup/sauce.

I think a casserole has to be baked. But a hotdish can be baked or just mixed hot.

We grew up hotdish. We only heard of casserole in books or on tv.

Tavern is where we go to have a few beers after supper.

A tavern is where we go

Macktastic miguel 0 — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 23:02:47 -0600

A tavern is where we go after eating a couple of sloppy joes. And, can it be hotdish if it doesn't contain creme of mushroom soup?
