Camping food Mac 'n Cheese. The stuff is generally considered awful. It’s from a line of sort of freeze dried meals that are designed to be realy light-weight for serious back country camping when you have to carry everything for miles and miles. You pour boiling water directly into the baggie it comes in, stir, and wait about ten minutes. I love the stuff! We only buy it right before a trip because if we get it the week before, I’ll eat it before we get the chance to pack it. I guess that’s not really “declasse” but more “disgusting” (accordning to everyone else). ---

I’m another who will go for what the OP calls a “lawnmower beer” at times. Those times usually are after working in the garden or on the lawn, or playing golf, or any other physical activity on a hot day. I do like dark ales and porters and wheat beers and such, but a mass-produced cheap beer from a large brewer hits the spot nicely when I’ve been active and it’s hot. ---

Minute rice. Just as American tacos are not Mexican food, minute rice is not rice. It is what it is. I hardly ever buy it because if I had it in the house, I would eat it every morning for breakfast, and it is best consumed with plenty of butter and salt. ---

I like 80’s music. Mr. Neville says that is declasse, but I like it anyway. Canned French-cut green beans. I generally avoid canned vegetables that are nothing like their fresh counterparts, with this one exception. My mom’s broccoli casserole made with cream of celery soup (sort of like green bean casserole). ---

Is [pimento cheese](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6877304) declassé or just Southern? Seconding the love for deviled ham and plain bologna sandwiches. ---

Mac & Cheese - delicious. Red Beans & Rice - fantastic. Hearty Beef Stew - pretty good. Pad Thai - death in a pouch. ---

Frozen mixed vegetables, the kind with the carrots cut into cubes. But no lima beans, please. The Taiwan Cafe in Pittsburgh. It has cheap meal deals for students, and sells malt liquor to bums (I had one trying to chat with me once when I was waiting for my food there). But the food is good. My Honda Civic. Yes, it’s a car that a broke new college grad might have. But it is easy to parallel park, I was able to write a check for it, and it doesn’t have stuff go wrong with it much at all. I wish I had a Super Big Gulp full of Diet Coke right now. ---

> [@Max\_the\_Immortal](#): > > I believe in what I call the “bologna sandwich test”. Consider the following sandwich: Bologna, Kraft Singles, and yellow mustard on white bread. If someone turns their nose up at this sandwich, rejecting it for what it isn’t instead of appreciating it for what it is, then that person’s opinion about any food carries no weight. How about we reject it for what it is, having a dislike of both bologna and mustard? ---

Fried bologna sandwich. With butter. Oh yeah. If it doesn’t have a wedge cut into it, it ain’t authentic. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/declasse-items-you-enjoy/537403.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/declasse-items-you-enjoy/537403.md?page=3)
