The Darker Side of Dishes

[write_light]

In case you aren't familiar with THIS PINTEREST PAGE, (Disgusting Recipes), you need to be.  Be careful, though, it is bottomless (both in figurative horror and seriously, I've scrolled down for about 20 minutes and still haven't found the end of it).  LET THAT BE YOUR WARNING.

TOP O' THE MORNIN' TO YA!

Okay, so I was expecting the first one to be some silly thing like pigs in blankets, but dang.. actual squirrels in cider.

I thought the bachelors buffet thing was some kind of food-baked-in-pastry thing at first. Mayo, mustard,cream, and gelatin? Yuck.

The last one's the winner. It looks horrid and upon reading the recipe, it probably tastes horrid, too.

Did people actually go out to the back yard and catch a few squirrels? That's just mean.

And I know suet pudding was no big deal at one time, but I just remember my mom hanging up big chunks of suet in the winter in these onion bags to feed the birds…and I say, "Please, no!"

I remember my grandmother talking about squirrel stew when I was young. Of course, she grew up in Missouri during the depression. I also recall my grandfather mentioning hunting squirrels when he was young, but he shot 'em with a pellet gun or .22.

We hunted squirrels when I was a kid. The only animal I've ever shot and eaten was a squirrel. It was actually pretty tasty. After that I left the hunting to my brother and father, though.

What's so wrong with the mayo one... *Reads recipe* oh gods that's not crockery in the background. Take it away take it away.

Hot Buttered Cheerios sounds too good not to try.

But my god, that Suet thing.

i admit that intrigued me too. at first i thought it was going to be something like rice krispie treats but made with cheerios, but the recipe has possibilities.

Did you know that I had a dream that I found an entire faded, yellowing magazine full of terrible recipies like this, and my first thought was "Ooh, now I have food to post at vintage_ads"?

These goddamned things are seeping into my subconscious.

I'm snickering at the "Bachelor's mayonnaise" though. I guess "confirmed bachelors" really like thick, creamy mayonnaise, huh? Although come to think of it, Kraft (not miracle whip, mind) is my favorite kind of commercial mayonnaise. Hmmmmm.

Those puddings are probably the single most disgusting thing labeled "food" I have ever seen!
