Suburban cuisine

"Suburban cuisine" is no more a cuisine than ramen noodles constitutes "College cuisine" or pop tarts is "Trailer cuisine". Google test [1] gives primarily Wikipedia mirrors and link farms. Article should be deleted and what little content that exists possibly moved elsewhere. -- Bletch 03:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Make sure that at least a bit of the content is moved to some suburbia-related article. - Barfooz (talk) 03:15, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- It is true that much of this food is consumed in suburbs, but the proper term for what this article describes is convenience food, which there is already an article for. If there's anything salvageable and non-redundant, merge it with that article, but I rather doubt that there would be. Haikupoet 03:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; I've made a note that convenience food should include info from this article. --Bletch 03:58, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete original research if not hoax. --metta, The Sunborn 03:56, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this is real phenominon. The food industry is having a hard time giving it a name though. But if you ask most food scientists working for major US companies, they agree that in the future all home cooked food will be made in 15 minutes or less. convenience food doesn't involve any preparation. Where as the stuff this article is talking about i.e Tuna Helper requires a small amount of preparation but very little culinariy skill. Klonimus 06:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a real phenomenon, but it certainly isn't a cuisine. If Suburban cuisine can be considered as such, then we should start working on Dorm cuisine, Airplane cuisine and Service area cuisine. As for "convenience food doesn't involve any preparation", the actual article disagrees (it states "These foods require minimum preparation") --Bletch 14:15, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete then redirect to convenience food. R adiant _* 07:50, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
