Completely disgusting foods our parents ate

Boiled zucchini, Ned.. I am *so sorry.* That sounds like the best possible way to ruin zucchini!

Was it ever.

making food smile seems to be the surefire way to make an already questionable dish unspeakably hilarious

these veal rollups are cracking me up right now

it seriously looks like drooling mouths

I may have just answered my own question when I got to the Mandarinade.

my parents did not to the best of my knowledge eat these but there's no way they don't belong on this thread

Mini Kievs - each one was slightly smaller than a ping pong ball, the chicken was like rubber, and in the oven the cheese filling used to squirt out of the syringe hole they were filled from, leaving a burnt cheesy mess everywhere.

xp they couldn't have stuck a sausage in there to complete the amazing trolljob?

wash down your pork faggots with a refreshing smiling dolphin

Would totally eat those mini-chicken Kievs.

Findus Crispy Pancakes - neither crispy nor particularly pancake like, they came in flavours like minced beef, cheese, and chicken curry.

re: Brain's Faggots
http://www.vh1.com/celebrity/2008-06-26/this-is-the-faggot-family/

the stealth lol on the Mr. Brain's package is the "classic PORK recipe" tag

Crispy Pancakes are obviously pretty horrible but i used to love them when i was a kid

snoball that whole thing has to be a joke, omg

Shakespearean stealth LOL: 'West Country Sauce'

"Doodys extol the virtues of faggots" I mean COME ON

from snoball's linked article:

"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year.""

loool

You guys, James Lileks made like half a career out of this. Is that who you want to be like? James Lileks? Do you?

(xps) I used to eat Crispy Pancakes all the time as a kid as well. Also I ate loads of Campbell's Meatballs, particularly the ones that came in a tomato sauce with pasta. Actually I ate so many tins that I was able to send off for a limited edition Campbell's Meatballs digital watch, which kind of looked like a small snowglobe strapped on my wrist, with a little Campbell's Meatballs branded space rocket floating around inside, with the digital watch embedded in the base. So like I said, I ate a lot of them, at least until one day when I read the ingredients - which included as the first ingredient 'beef hearts'.
Actually it reminds me of a recipe that a relative proudly claimed that they invented:

snoball's relative's horrible Campbell's Meatballs casserole disaster

serves: as many people you can trick and/or blackmail into eating it

Take a casserole dish, fill with a tin of Campbell's Meatballs and a large tin of baked beans. Top with instant mashed potato. Cover the potato with a bag of crushed up cheese & onion crisps. Cover the crisps with grated cheddar cheese. Place in oven to cook.

snoball that whole thing has to be a joke, omg

It's all too real. From that respected news organ, the BBC...

I've found that as I get older peas in anything is a guaranteed emetic.

Mushy peas. Now there's a truly disgusting substance

holy wow

I eat faggots a lot, but they play up my gout a bit. I've never eaten Mr Brain's though because I only buy them from farm shops. They went bust a couple of years ago, I think?

Things mentioned/pictured in this thread which are in fact delicious and great:

1. Tongue
2. Pickled herring (both cream sauce and wine sauce)
3. Scotch egg

Mordy is right on about shmurah matzah but my parents were too secular to buy that stuff.

Imagine how this shit SMELLS.

I could probably eat scotch egg now

and mum used to make it with pork sausage which in retrospect would be super tasty

rings of vegetables

I don't understand how you cut it up without having it collapse all over the table

was it pp who told the story about a wedding reception that had a ranch dressing fountain

oh it was here

Not eaten by my parents, but jellied eels...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Eels_1385.JPG/640px-Eels_1385.JPG

no recipe should ever contain the sentence "Wrap a banana in each ham slice"

Jellied eels are great.

xxxp that reminds me of another relative - one time we went for dinner at their house, and the starter was a lump of cheese wrapped in a slice of ham.

Okay, you asked for it:

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles are clearly missing an opportunity here

Chicken A La King & Waffles!!

I ate Scotch eggs ten days ago at Detroit's Rattlensnake Lounge and they were deliciousness.

omg Laurel that recipe book is amazing

Sunbather's Special: 1 can condensed beef broth + 1 soup can of apple juice + nutmeg to "taste." Mix and pour over ice cubes, or serve hot. Serve at all, really, absolutely any old way.

I know!!! I keep it at my office for laffs.

Magic Balls! Surgically remove and enjoy!

I want that black chocolate one.

nothing wrong? ugh, too much cream, to begin with

1st is Pineapple cheesecake
2nd one looks like Forêt Noire but with strawberry
3rd I don't know

there must be hundreds of recipes like these in my family's drawers

Use a fork, the cream on the cheesecake is there to accompany slivers of the half-inch thick crust.

The amount of cream on the chocolate cake is more alarming, but only 1/5 as alarming as the insta-diabetic quantity of frosting there

according to this cookbook I have from my wife's grandmother, there are only three main food groups: loaves, rings and molds

xxp add something that contains eggs to some eggs!

does this belong here? I think this belongs here.
