River ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The only spices my mother acknowledged were salt, pepper, celery seed in egg salad, onion powder, and garlic powder. The hamburger in slumgullion was browned with a little salt. Add a lot of water and cook the macaroni. Dump in the tomatoes, serve.
I suppose if you liked tomatoes, it wouldn't be bad. But that's a big If.
Emily, do you know about alt.buffistas.net?

Don't click on that! It's filled with evil versions of regular Buffistas!
OK, probably not....
Ooh! I didn't! Maybe I'll try it tomorrow.

Haven't we had the "What did you call macaroni, ground beef, and tomatoes?" conversation? For the record, my mom called it American Chop Suey.
Surely somebody's put together a regional map by now.
"What did you call macaroni, ground beef, and tomatoes?"
A waste of good macaroni and beef.
The internet seems to say that New Englanders call it American Chop Suey, midwesterners call it goulash, and "other areas of the country" call it slumgullion.
More internet searching seems to suggest that the name "slumgullion" is western, from the Slumgullion Pass in Colorado.
Edit: nope, other way. Slumgullion Pass was named for the muddy landslide, which looked kinda like stew.
And a bit more internet searching tells me that "slumgullion" is a word that miners in the old West used for pretty much any dish made by throwing together whatever was available into a pot, and the meaning solidified around that particular mix of stuff during WWI.
