With a nod to my family in rural Indiana, here are some ideas

Chili Mac (Box of mac and cheese with chili added)

Tuna Noodle Casserole (everything is from a box or can. Tuna, Mushroom SOup, Kraft Mac & Cheese and topped with crumbled potato chips)

Hamburger Helper

For something rural but not questionable (well too questionable)

Country Ham with Grits and Red Eye Gravy

Country Ham with White Beans and Cornbread or Johnny Cakes

Fried Chicken (served with PBR)

A big thing where my mom comes from is breaded pork tenderloin (not that prepackaed stuff at the store) between 2 pieces of white bread with sliced pickles and sometimes mustard. Served with a side of mashed potatoes and brown gravy.

Make Sugar Cream Pie for Dessert.

Dont forget to make a salad.

White trash salads always include, cool whip, marshmallows and some fruit cocktail.

Thanks for your ideas, and yes, I can get some squirrels and have actually eaten squirrel. Tastes like chicken....really! lol My ex boyfriend has a farm and squirrels eat the grain that he buys. Sometimes, they come in droves and some of them get off'd by the gun. Sounds terrible, but it's true.

I'll use some of your ideas.

Thanks!

Ribs and collard greens, to me, seem more of a regional thing or southern cuisine, as opposed to white trash. Since most of the ribs and collard greens you find, where I am at least, are in soul food eateries. But then some of the other things I said could go in that genre too, at least the grits and johnny cakes. But the rest I remember from my relatives tables growing up. They were indeed in the white trash class structure.

What about deep fat frying everything. I mean everything.

Bologna sandwiches on wonder bread with Kool-Aid

Yes, collards are a must! I actually eat them. I love cornbread and ribs. I haven't made very good mac n cheese, so I don't know about that one.

Thanks!

<<For dessert>>

LOL

Now, that sounds Redneck!

Thanks!

LOL it actually sound delish.

How funny! I know that I've eaten that before, but don't remember where or when. Must have been all that Billy Bob Beer!

Thanks!

If you can , show up with a Farmers Tan

They live in California, in Salinas, which is the home of one of the biggest rodeos. This next July they will celebrate their 100th rodeo. I was thinking more on the lines of "Deliverance." It's a joke dinner for my niece.

LOL LOL the stuff looks good but OMG you'd die early eating a lifetime of hetr stuff. Even when she says she's made it healthy is loaded.

I know what you mean, I'd probably puke with all the fat.

I had some rather hillbilly friends when I was little and they used to get a large glass and fill it with beans, cornbread and top it off with milk, then they'd put some mustard on top of that and stir it all up and eat it with a spoon. They loved it!

They used to wash their hair with "washing powder" which was Tide and tie their hair with strips of rags to curl their hair. I got quite an education, for sure.

**************Bake a pie.
That works no matter who they are. *****************

Now there's an idea.
Who doesn't like pie?

True, pie always works.

Ya ever had Snoots?

Chicken in a Biskit crackers with canned squeeze cheese

fried Spam "steaks" (covered in canned chili - optional)

undercooked frozen krinkle kut fries with watered-down catsup

bo'led roadkill stew

homemade frozen kool aid pops for dessert (doused with cheap liquor for 13+ "adults")

I totally forgot about pickled pigs feet and pickled eggs!

I remember spam as a kid.

Cut up into cubes along with equal sized pieces of potato fried in a pan with some onion and about a cup of sauce aka "catsup". Served along side or on plain white bread.

That wreaks of Redneck!
