Who Can Say No?

Geez I thought I was hungry but I’m not anymore the two foods I hate more than anything in the world spam and Jell-O
A big old hard no I would use other words but I can’t use them on the DIS
Those pictures were just stomach turning
They look like something you’d make for Halloween

I was thinking the old recipes could be like a weight loss manual. No one would eat any of it!

I know I wouldn’t
Maybe that’s why I didn’t eat anything when when I was a kid my parents love spam not a fan ever not even now I don’t care what you do with it as long as you don’t serve it to me! Can’t stand it !!
Yeah our household was eat or go hungry lotta times I picked go hungry

the first thing our teacher taught us to make was "Tomato Aspic

As gross as many of these gelatin dishes look, tomato aspic is (or can be) delicious. The version I had included some bits of celery and perhaps some other ingredients I don't recall. It was served with a dollop of mayo, and I loved it. I like tomato juice (and Bloody Marys) so this was just a gelatinized version of that. It's a version of salad, you just eat a few bites, it's not like you load up a dish with it.

Squee!! These are amazing! I couldn't turn out something this creative in art class, let alone from my kitchen. Of course, they're not actually food - are they? For the middle one, do people not know they could just actually eat a rabbit if they wanted to?

Vodka salad...yeah, I can see the appeal.

Hey @RedAngie - not to hijack another one of your threads with my obsession with your Avatar, but I can't help myself - I've found you the PERFECT one!

@snowwite GIRL. you know I love you. But you gotta get this nastiness under control

This is the only one that I think could actually taste good, a nice combination of savory and sweet. We make spam musubi at home after a trip to Hawaii and everyone in my house likes it which is rare. I’d definitely try a spam donut.

Nope. Could not pay me. My mom made spam fritters. I survived but I don’t like to talk about it.

They are actual recipes. I started a Pinterest page called Our Parents ate What? When I started finding all of these old recipes. I won’t be passing them down to my kids. The worst one my mom used to make was Shrimp Wiggle. Wiggle does not belong in a food name. Nope.

I'll second what @Micca said. I've had tomato aspic and it can be quite good. It's basically tomato juice or sauce, and if it's well seasoned it's not bad. We used to eat it, but more as a condiment (kinda like cranberry sauce) and not as a full serving of something. I will say, the rest of them look pretty disgusting, and the fish, lamb, etc. with faces are the things of which nightmares are made!

Yeah I don’t like my food looking at me!
