![A page about the history of Green Bean Casserole from TASTY: A HISTORY OF YUMMY EXPERIMENTS by Victoria Grace Elliott. The sprite narrator Peri guides us. "In reality, [frozen meals] weren't as popular as their companies wanted them to be." Her expression turns sarcastic. "As it turns out, a lot of people still liked cooking. Wow." She stands on a Cambpell's recipe book. "Campbell's figured this out during its early years. In the 50s, the company began debuting casserole recipes with their soups as the key ingredient." A banner reads GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE • 1955. Peri stands next to a Cambpell's soup can, a bottle of soy sauce, a picture of Dorcas Reilly, and a steaming hot green bean casserole in a cute kitschy red casserole dish. She's licking her lips and taking a deep whiff of the savory dish. "Chefs in the Campbell's lab developed all kinds of recipes featuring these soups. In 1955, Dorcas Reilly created this soon-to-be holiday favorite using ingredients a home could would probably already have at home. This recipe used two key canned ingredients: cream of mushroom soup and green beans. So simple and delicious, people still make it today!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7hkzffvwlvlgnev5u3dde5b/bafkreiesawrbqx5hwxrkummpvhbzxzxzyeib4ixfr24s6c67ry5va3w4wy)
![A cute boy brightly smiles & tilts his head, he's introducing himself to the main character. "I'm Christian." [ I know. I've drawn you so many times. ] the narrator, Erika, thinks to herself. Erika's friend Julie looks at the spread of comics and snacks on the ground in the circle of friends. "You, uh, like comics?" Erika, gripping her fists, looks excited. "I love them." Julie's expression is sarcastic "Of course you do." "Nice. What kinda stuff do you read?" Christian asks. Erika thinks about her favorites. "Ah, well, lots of manga, some webtoons, and lately I've been into old Batman comics." Miguel, another new friend in the circle, approves with a deadpan expression, eyes still glued to his phone. "Oh, hell yeah."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7hkzffvwlvlgnev5u3dde5b/bafkreidp3c3vu7mp45qjoyh2qtqdwzzwxh7p7rqdil6gdvskdf2lywos5a)
![Erika, glancing around nervously, asks, "What do y'all (Christian) like to read? (Christian answer this please)" Christian, hand to his chin, is gearing up. "Well. Don't think I'm one of *those* guys but...Watchmen." Miguel rolls his eyes. "Oh, Jesus. Here we go." Christian proceeds to ramble about reading Watchmen, reading the wikipedia entry for Watchmen, and trying to figure out how it's a meta-commentary on comics. Erika seems delighted and confused by the sudden nerdy ramble of the cute boy in front of her. His friends, however, aren't amused. Julie looks annoyed. "Dude, we get it." And Miguel looks pissed. "SHUT UUUUUP." Christian's used to it. He keeps rambling to Erika, excitedly pointing at spreads in the comic, mumbling "9-panel grid" and "It's a comic about comics." Watching him, Erika thinks to herself, [ This isn't exactly...What I was expecting. ] Christian hands her the comic, "You wanna borrow it?" Erika accepts. "Sure??" [ But it's going well, right? ]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7hkzffvwlvlgnev5u3dde5b/bafkreic6o2qr6dkm3r6jqvy3lsasqx3xxibnqi2lv2vfwbp7zm662qurci)
