What's truly frightening is the user who apparently loves these bars, and finds them especially delicious when dipped in gravy.

Perhaps the gravy makes them slide down one's throat fast enough to avoid the actual chewing .. and is, therefore, a blessing in disguise?

I found this hilarious too.

Here are the two reviews for that recipe. The second one just cracks me up in a master of the obvious kind of way. And they still gave it three stars!

OMG, these are so good, with bacon being like my favorite food, I can't think of anything better than these bacon bars. I highly suggest dipping them in gravy.


A cook on 10/23/2002
went together easy, but I did not like the taste of the bacon and orange tang together

[Pickles]

Here's one my mother used to make....really truly, honest engine!

Shrimp Mousse



1 can tomato soup, warm with no water
3 oz. lemon Jello

Stir and add above two ingredients together. 8 oz. cream cheese, room temp.
1/2 sm. onion
1/2 green pepper
1/2 c. celery
1/2 c. salad dressing
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Pimento
1 (8 oz.) sm. shrimp chopped

Pour into greased mold.

As I remember, for a recipe with such a cornicopia of gag-inducing ingredamints (as someone used to say...Justin Wilson?) it wasn't half bad!

[redfox]

I was going to quote that second bacon bar commenter too! There truly is something deeply perfect about "went together easy, but I did not like the taste of the bacon and orange tang together."

In fact... it deserves commemoration in a signature.

My mother made a mousse with cucumbers, cottage cheese, and lime jello every year at Easter - I could look up the recipe if you need a side dish. Or if you need something red, her raspberry tomato aspic might do the trick.

My way old (circa late 50's early 60's) Joys of Jell-O cookbook has a whole mess of doozies, some even featuring celery flavored Jell-O. The real doozie is barbeque salad, featuring barbeque cubes (lime jello, tomato sauce, vinegar), cubed and served over a fed of greens. Possible salad additions include mayo, cottage cheese, shrimp, crab, a can of tuna, etc.

Not sure about raspberry tomato aspic, but I sure love the regular old kind. I make mine with V-8. Four cups total, dissolve two packets of unflavored gelatin in about half a cup of the cold juice. Heat up the rest and add some seasonings--like dill and garlic and hot pepper and anything else I have around the stove. Add the dissolved gelatin to the hot juice and mix well. Then pour into small molds or one biggun--like a loaf pan, so you can slice the aspic later. I love this for lunch with a creamy dressing (half sour cream, half mayo, bit of dill and horseradish). This is one "jello" that I can stand!

[hjshorter]

That actually sounds edible! Mom's was raspberry jello and tomato juice. Blech.

deeply perfect is right!

Here's My Vote for two of the vilest creations I've encountered in a while....Who can guess where they originate?

Iceberg Wedge with Blue Cheese Dressing, Homemade Turkey Tasso, Stuffed Egg, Pickled Okra, Cayenne Crackers and Hot Sauce-Butter Glazed Tomatoes

Almond-Crusted Plaquemines Parish Oysters with Melting Brie, Bacon-Brown Sugar Tomato Glaze and Rosemary-Fennel Apple Slaw

Tuna Wiggle

1 can tuna- packed in oil, not drained
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup mayo
4 slices wonder bread toasted.

Dump first three ingredients into a pan and stir until blended. Bring mixture
to a simmer and continue to stir until well heated. Spoon mixture over toasted
bread. Enjoy!

It's amazing that we lived past childhood.

A proper tuna wiggle does not contain mayo, nor is it served over bread, but rather egg noodles.

Let's not forget "cowboy sandwiches" -- run spam and velveeta through a food grinder (or food processor), smear it on squishy white hamburger buns and run under the broiler. My family of 5 could not (or would not) finish a single 1/2 bun.

[NeroW]

A friend recently described to me some truffles made by our very own phlawless from Magnolia Grill that consisted of chocolate, peanut butter, and bacon. I WANT SOME!!!

We made something like this in my Garde Manger class. They were damn good.

[Mabelline]

snowangel, don't you just love those names? I'd give 50 bucks for a picture of any cowboy I know eating one of those. OOH...didn't you forget sweet relish or something from your bad shit people make post?

I give up, but the sad thing is that these would, in addition to being pretty icky, require a lot of effort. At least the cowboy sandwiches could be pawned off as lack of budget and time.

A plaquemine reminds me of something really ugly you would find during a trip to the dentist, yish.

I have toyed with the idea of doing an all White Castle dinner party using recipes that call for Sliders...........my husband's one junk food weakness and passion. I would do White Castle appetizer meatballs, nachos, Vidalia onion dip, turkey with White Castle stuffing, brocolli and White Castle casserole, macaroni and White Castle casserole, twice baked Slider potatoes, to name a few. My husband thinks it is a great idea. I hate them, so have not yet put this together (notice I have avoided the temptation to abbreviate as WC). Our friends would think it was a riot, specially since we are usually haute cuisine types and the most fun of all is that the wine would still be wonderful. No Ripple at this party!

Well, that would be Louisiana.
However, that's not on any Louisiana menu I've ever seen.

Give Up? EMERIL'S!!! Repulsive.....As to be expected

[Mabelline]

I checked out a little cookbook from the Youth section at the library today, so I could creep out some little kids if we make it out to Crow Agency at Easter. It is "Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes", by Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake. It is a most excellent cookbook, and the stuff is really quite inventive. It's all recipes from Dahl books for kids:James and the Giant Peach, Charley and the Chocolate Factory, Rhyme Stew, and Witches. Any of you all with sprouts, or doing something like mags, this is cool. There's a bird pie from the Twits that has what looks like scrawny birds' legs sticking straight up out of the pie, Stink Bug Eggs,Crispy Wasp Stings on a Piece of Buttered Toast,Hansel and Gretel Spare Ribs, and Mr. Twit's Beard Food. 5 STAR.

[Lisa Shock]

Of the things my mom actually used to make, concord grape pie would have to be the winner. It had a totally repulsive texture.

I'd like to recommend The Comapny Cookbook as an example of when not to publish a cookbook.

[emmalish]

oh Lisa, thank you SO much for that!

I think I know from whence the thunderbolt is discharged.

A bit over-the-top, perfect for a Superbowl.

Oh. My. God. That's the most revoltingly hysterical, or hysterically revolting, thing I've ever seen.

Oddly enough, I actually LIKE sausage balls!

[sparrowgrass]

I don't have the recipe, but I was recently at a potluck where someone brought a lemon meringue pie. Which sounds ok, but she used some kind of sugar substitute, topped it with sugarfree/fatfree Coolwhip, and as an added touch, sprinkled the top with crushed black walnuts.

Nuts of any sort don't belong on LM pie, and black walnuts in particular belong out under the black walnut tree for squirrels to bury.

I was on vacation with my family in North Carolina last week and happened to find a gem of a cookbook in our condo. It was from the Food Lion Procurement Department-- a la The Company Cookbook referenced above. Vast quantities of ground beef and Velveeta. But one of the recipes just sent us over the edge. I remembered this thread from long ago and thought I'd share.

Easy Cream of Broccoli Soup

2 boxes frozen broccoli
1 small jar of Cheez Whiz
2 cans of Cream of Celery Soup (because everyone begins to make soup with a couple of cans of soup!)
10 ounces of half & half

Cook all in a crock pot for 6 hours. Stir occasionally.

Just the thought of broccoli cooking for 6 hours is making me nauseous.
