Revolting recipes

I've just come back from my sisters place.
Last night she made a dessert which didn't get eaten. so she sent it home with me

Really chunky custard with berries mixed in, well my sister is not the worlds best cook.

But this reminded me of some of those awful recipes put on packets and cans in the 60's that Mums thought would be chique or something.

1 jelly (Jello to you) half set and whipped with carnation evaporated milk (Jelly Fluff)

2 Asparagus rolls, neat little fingerfood to serve at the bridge club.
Butter white bread, cut off crusts and roll around a soggy stick of canned asparagus.
This was My MIL's favourite :eek

3 But the best (worst) Spam fritters.
take one can of spam, slice and batter. deep fry

Care to share?

Here in Easter Canada, fried bologna is a vital ingredient in any full breakfast. A thicker slice, fried, has been known as a "newfie steak".

But battered?

Oh yeah, I believe there is a fast food delicacy over your side called a Dagwood Dog?
Battered frankfurter on a stick

A Kiwi friend told me that his guilty pleasure is canned spaghetti on pancakes.

One of the most gagworthy dishes I encountered was in a "Mexican" restaurant in Logan, Utah, where they'd put sugar in the refried beans. Heaps of sugar.

Another horror was when I lived in a big house with a motley crowd and took turns cooking. One fellow knew nothing about cookery, but managed a decent meal– meat loaf, spuds, green beans. Encouraged by the dinner, we all piled into the dessert: cheesecake. It was an odd orangey hue, with tiny red flecks, and tasted like merry hell. Turned out he didn't know there were different sorts of cream cheese, and bought the pimento sort.

Black Lace Eggs:
Heat a cast iron skillet until nearly red hot.
Crack an egg and drop it into the skillet from three feet up.
When the egg hits the skillet the white spatters and cooks black in seconds. However the yolk remains mostly raw.
Scrape the whole mess onto a plate and serve.

My Ma's tuna noodle cassarole with crunched up potato chips on top. (always seemed like a terrible waste of good chips)

Roger Tory Peterson loved peanut butter and sardines on a Ritz. Of course everything is good on a Ritz..psss wasn't that bad!.

When I was younger (much younger) I used to make something my friends affectionately - well, more or less affectionately - called "hot slops". One can corned beef hash. One can creamed corn. Mix together and heat up. It tasted better than it looked.

A former housemate, a rugby player who looked like Ron Perlman's ugly brother, used to take a pound of hamburger, start it frying in bacon grease, chop a whole onion and toss it in, then when the mess was about half burnt, pour in a cup or two of really cheap red wine. Then he'd wander off and let the mess congeal before scraping it onto a plate and devouring it, with ketchup, while watching TV.

I never had to eat the stuff. But he'd always dump his plate and pan in the sink and leave them, sometimes for days, until someone else washed up.
