Fideo for Lunch
UPDATE
I asked my mom about fideo and she said my grandmother used to make that for them when she was a kid in rural, rancho, Mexico. This is back in the 40's.
I had fideo for lunch and then I read this.

Mmmmm... I miss my huelita's fideo.
I've tried making it but it's just not the same.
Did you go out for it? If so where. I'm going!

I used to get teased by friends sometimes because almost all the time we ate fideo at home. I didn't really care though since it's one of my favs. My mom makes it with pollo and papas.

talk about comfort food...oh my gosh!! don't even care if all my friends go "huh?"...and my kids' friends think they are crazy --"what! you eat "fido" food"
but no one has ever turned down seconds if I can get them to try it!

My mother's claim to family fame is her delicious fideo and homemade tortillas ~ when we were poor and living on the "Northside" in Houston, she could feed her family of six for a couple of days on only a coupla dollars ~~ that wonderful little yellow box for a under a buck, and another buck for a coupla potatoes, some comino, a cube of bouillon, and frijoles. Ai, your post reminds me how much I miss home! Now I want Mami's arroz con leche, too!

I LOVE FIDEO!!! Just the thought of those yellow boxes of vermacilli makes my mouth water. I will have to write about my obsession of fideo one day.

My husband introduced me to fideo when we married 23 years ago and I still love it. Everyone at my job loves it when we have a 'potluck lunch'. I bring fideo and they fight over who takes the leftovers home. However, I make it with ground beef or pork sausage instead of chicken. also, Rotel really gives it a 'nice kick'...

Hey all you Fideo Lovers! I've always made Fideo for my family,my kids and I just love it!It is so simple and there are recipes out there that just aren't right.I can truly say I've never tasted a better one than the one I make!It's on the soupy side,not too much tomato sauce(too much overpowers the pasta taste),onions and garlic,cooked till slightly thickened.Goes great with a corn tortilla quesadilla or just alone,the Ultimate Mexican Comfort Food!Feel free to email me at Anaheimmom@aol.com for my recipe!You know what?I'm gonna make myself some right now,see what you did!
