this just looks like a really thick stew (carrots, kidney beans, potatoes, ground beaf, peas)...? I'd eat it.

my pics: first kishka (i love vegetarian style, but that's from internal organs), second is tongue, and third is cholent

Bless my mom's heart.

She always boiled zucchini.

I think I only started liking it maybe...seven years ago when I had some grilled zucchini for the first time.

"loosening the bung" ruined my day ;_;

can a smiling dolphin bring it back?

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

What racism? xxxp

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

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

warning

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.

^ gets it. I saw a lot of those ads when I was a kid, but other than Chex Mix and Rice Krispie squares, I can't recall ever seeing the stuff served or eaten.

My parents / their friends / relatives certainly did serve up food like that. They'd all copy recipes from the back of food packets and send off for those '100 Fresh Ideas For Cooking With Crispbread' booklets.

Avocados are a staple of Cuban diet. Ketchup isn't, despite Reagan's reclassifying it as a vegetable.

I think putting ketchup on avocado is taking the whole 'never putting mayo on anything evar' stance a bit too far.

is this post implying that putting mayonnaise on avocado is acceptable?

It's more acceptable that ketchup, that's for sure.

VINCENT: You know what they put on avocados in Holland instead of mayonnaise?

JULES: What?

VINCENT: Ketchup.

JULES: Goddamn!

VINCENT: I seen 'em do it man, they drown 'em in it.

JULES: Uuccch!

Peanut butter and ketchup on Ritz crackers or on toast. It's really good actually.

ketchup squirted directly onto hot spaghetti, with cheddar cheese also directly grated onto it

actually ridiculously delicious

chop some bacon and bell pepper in there too and that's about as gourmet as we got

Sounds like spaghetti at Hong Kong-style diners.

It’s not like tomatoes and avocados are unknown to each other (avocado and ketchup still sounds awful, of course)

Why did someone stab that poor jacket to death

mark, be honest: are you posting this five-year-old article because you're researching ancient foodstuffs you might be able to enjoy after being denied the opportunity to get a sip of the sarcophagus juice a while back

5 yr old article, 10 yr old bog butter, 10,000 yr old sarcophagous juice, i'm a slow foodie now

Nowt wrong with those. What are they?

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
