1. Dog food hotdish.

Ground beef, rice, cream of mushroom soup.

Stinky Tofu


Faggots

[Arugula Latte]

2. Oh man, my mom made that consistently throughout the 70s.

It closely resembled vomit, but I loved the taste of it when I was a kid. I think we called it "soup casserole."

Not the way I eat anymore, though ...

Edited 'cuz I found a photo:

[geardaddy]

8. I know! I loved that stuff!

Chinese hotdish. Recipe here: http://www.carriessweetlife.com/chow-mein-casserole/

[geardaddy]

5. Chinese hotdish is what I call dog food hotdish

minus the chow mein noodles.

[MissMillie]

4. Sh*t on a shingle

aka Creamed Chipped Beef on toast

[Arugula Latte]

32. I believe that derived from WWII army slang.

Another disgusting-looking food I loved to eat when I was a child.

I haven't eaten that since probably the early 80s, though.

[OriginalGeek]

33. My wife makes it all the time

When I was a kid my mom made it all the time and I hated it and for about the first 24 years of marriage I carried my youthful hatred of SoS until one day, not too long ago, I was hungry and my wife had made a big pan of it and all the toast was already toasted and she wouldn't make me something else so I ate it and found out I love that shit. On a shingle.

And now we have to buy TWO jars of that Armour dried beef on SoS night.

That'll teach her. She also convinced me a while back I should try guacamole and now she doesn't get the extra from my Tex-Mex dinners.

[Arugula Latte]

35. Mmmm, guac-a-moe-lay!

Yuuum! I make mine with avocado, chopped tomato, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper. Deeelish.

[OriginalGeek]

38. That's a near perfect mix

but I can add in some chopped jalapeno to mine - no need to put it in everyone's.


It was a long time funny running joke between us that she "made me" order dishes at Tex-Mex places that came with guacamole so she could have mine. Now we usually end up getting an extra bowl of it.

[geardaddy]

6. Nick Tahou's Garbage Plate

It's a Greek place in Rochester, NY known as "Home of the Garbage Plate"

[Baitball Blogger]

[geardaddy]

9. It's popular with drunk college kids.

Go figure.

[LiberalEsto]

[blueamy66]

[KamaAina]

12. Spotted Dick

[Baitball Blogger]

14. It has such a weird name it had its own thread not too long ago.

[intaglio]

16. Rissoles

and Toad in the Hole

Lobscouse

[Baitball Blogger]

20. I found a picture of lots of toads in a hole.

Rissoles look like normal meatballs.
So many things came up under Lobscouse that I couldn't figure out which one was the real lobscouse.

[Aerows]

44. I thought

toads in a hole was eggs in toast.

[hack89]

51. No - sausages in Yorkshire pudding. Yum! nt

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

17. Egg in the Hole

from Bon Appetit:

What it is: An egg fried inside a hole carved out of a slice of bread. What it sounds like: What the world's quirkiest (and now unemployed) OBGYN yelled after performing in vitro fertilization.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Very pretty if you know what you're doing.

[siligut]

23. We called it Chicken in a Basket

But I like your version and interpretation better.

[DearHeart]

36. Saw an old movie with Betty Grable and they called them Gas House eggs :)

[AnneD]

18. Egg in a basket....

pigs in a blanket.

I started waitressing in college. On of the waitress had colorful names for dishes. Ones that I remember easily was Adam and Eve on a raft(2 eggs on toast) wreck 'em (scramble them), coffee blonde and sweet (coffee with cream and sugar). If I think on them, it will come back.

[Baitball Blogger]

22. Eggs in a basket is a twist on eggs in a hole?

This one looks like something in a basket. But it ain't pigs.

[siligut]

24. Pig in a blanket was what Mother called chicken liver wrapped in bacon then baked

I have also heard pickles wrapped in pancakes called that.

[AnneD]

25. Pigs denotes....

sausage or ham. Pig in a blanket, burn it is a toasted ham sandwich. Adam and eve on a log...eggs with sausage. Honeymoon salad...lettuce alone. Cow, Drag it through the garden hamburger with every thing on it. Cow, drag it through wisconsin, pin a rose on it (or make it cry)...hamburger with cheese and onion, drink on the city...water. Sweep the floor..hash. Mystery in the alley...side of hash.

Pickles in pancakes...that is too special for me.

[KamaAina]

28. "Drag it through the garden, hold the wax"

i.e. lettuce, tomato, onion, hold the cheese.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

30. Ever heard of "blindfolded"??

My dad would order eggs blindfolded and would have to demonstrate with his hands.



Cuppa java with a sinker (Coffee with a donut).

[AnneD]

42. Blindfolded...

just means basted. Poached eggs cook from the bottom with the top basically steaming cooked. Placing hot water by the spoonfull helps it cook more quickly for nice over medium egg.

Coffee and donuts AKA cops and robers.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

54. This

was for fried eggs.
He would motion with his hands to fold over the eggs after they were one firm mass.

[AnneD]

58. You can baste eggs in oil too...

usually that is what blindfolded meant. Your Dad wanted them just served a particular way, but it achieves the same thing as a water poached, the top flap gets cooked and the egg yolk is cooked medium.

[Pool Hall Ace]

26. There's a product I've seen in the grocery store called

'Fruit Shoot.'

Maybe not the strangest name, but I don't care for the image it conjures up.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

56. Rocky Mountain Oyster Beer

seriously... gross.

Here's one that would also qualify for nastiest food ever... casu marzu. Casu marzu is a delicacy on the island of Sardinia, Italy. In fact, the word is in Sardinian, which is an interesting dialect from the linguistics perspective. Anyway, this 'delicacy' is actually banned and illegal (you'll see why).

The cheese is made from super fresh off-the-teat milk. Then, it's let out in the sun where a certain species of insect deposits its eggs there. As the cheese rots, the eggs mature and the larvae eat the cheese. Their digestive products are what make Casu Marzu such a 'delicacy' in the eyes (and mouths) of many. However, the risk of disease is incredibly high. Casu marzu, literally translated, means 'rotten cheese' after all.
