Shrimp/prawn crackers are quite good broken up and mixed into cold salads with, e.g., shredded cheese and kernels of corn.

Oh, Lord, yes! 😳

Kids will often horrify us with the junk they can eat but, even as a kid, I immediately detested them. I was ten when I first tried one. After the first bite, I immediately hated it.  
Friend: “What are you doing?”  
Me: “Peeling this spongy stuff off. You have any mustard?”

Fried-egg-flavored chips/crisps go extremely well with canned mussels in escabeche (a sauce containing sunflower oil, vinegar, paprika, nutmeg, garlic, cinnamon and salt) and cold beer.

Some, or a good portion of my specialties recipes include Campbell’s "Cream Soups’ (Mushroom, Chicken, Celery, and Cheese). I make my swedish meatballs with Campbell’s mushroom soup, onion, and baby bella mushrooms, with beef broth and a frozen package of generic homestyle meatballs in the crockpot. I finish with kluski and sourcream.

I uae Campbell’s cream of chicken and cream of celery when I prepare my bisquik Chicken and dumplings. I also use frozen mixed veg.
