Gawd Awful Looking Crap.

My vote for the worst dish: Fluffy Mackerel Pudding

1. Ewwww!

Reminds me of the time I was invited to dinner by a girl who called herself Mickey Mouse and sold cat-tuna sandwiches in Hait-Ashbury (sp?) district of San Francisco. (1970) Every bit as appetizing!

2. Eccch! Send it to James Lileks

as a suggestion for his next contribution to the Gallery of Regrettable Food.

I remember looking through a Weight Watchers cookbook back in the 70s. I stifled a retch and went back to my boring old Recipes for a Small Planet.

3. No thank you!

That's HORRID looking!

Can't imagine eating that... not in the 50's, not now.

Ugh.

4. Yuk! I guess the secret to losing weight was not to eat it

or anything else on the WW diet :-).

5. Oh, how could you possibly resist this one?

That was the only one that flummoxed everybody in coming up with an adequate description. You can read the winning entries by following the links at the site, if you dare. If only it didn't GLISTEN with some sort of obscene exudate.

I'm beginning to remember very clearly why I never cooked any Weight Watchers recipes for dieting guests.

6. I've been dieting since the first of the year - I think I will

picture this one in my mind next time I'm hungry. "obscene exudate" :rofl:

7. A great refrigerator pic, isn't it?

Good idea! I think I'll print this one out.

[livetohike]

8. Definitely!

9. And the Oscar goes to ........

Oy ........

12. Oh. My. God. n/t

[hippywife]

10. I've seen that site before.

It's absolutely mind boggling, isn't it? :rofl:

[hippywife]

13. I came back to this thread

to send the link to my husband for laughs. At the site, I clicked on the link to another site it referenced. It's pretty good, too. LOL
