| I was going through my mom's old recipe box and found one that my sister had written out for a pepperoni salad. It had cut up pepperoni, ground beef, sausage, cheese, and lots of other fatty ingredients. I don't think there was a single thing in there that wasn't primarily fat. I sure don't remember ever eating that stuff, and I hope I never do!

In a cookbook called International Cuisine, presented by California Home Economics Teachers, 1983 (ISBN 0-89626-051-8), you will find:
Stuffed camel
1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 pounds black pepper
Salt to taste
Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and chicken. Boil until tender. Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until brown and mix with rice. Hard boil eggs and peel. Stuff cooked chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice. Stuff the cooked lamb with stuffed chickens. Add more rice. Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb and add rest of rice. Broil over large charcoal pit until brown. Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of rice. Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts. Serves friendly crowd of 80-100.

| I think one of the first cookbooks printed in the US (which were colonies at the time) had a recipe for boiling a pig's head, cracking it open, and taking out the brain. Ewwww. It was wierd because it was worded like this was something every woman normally did. Just a totally different culture back then, I guess.

| I grew up on a cattle farm in Ohio....we would butcher a steer once in a while and store all the meat in the freezer. You know, one of my favorite meals was the boiled cow tongue! We'd eat it with a little horseradish. I know how gross that sounds, trust me but I remember it tasting so good! Any time I tell people about it though they get grossed out. Then I went to a Fear Factor type of thing here in our town and wouldn't you know that one of the gross things to eat was cow tongue! That really made me realize just how gross it is.

I wouldn't go so far as to call these recipes, but they sure are strange food combinations. When I was a kid, my mom was away for a few days so Dad was responsible for dinner. He made this bizarre goulash type thing, with noodles, and ground beef, and tomatoes, and several different spices, and then, as a final touch, he stirred in chocolate covered raisins. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. It was so bad, that he actually let us leave the table without cleaning our plates.
I also have an uncle who has the most unrefined palate I know. His "spaghetti" is spaghetti noodles topped with canned condensed tomato soup. His favorite breakfast? A big mixing bowl full of cornflakes and milk - and cubed velveeta and bologna.

ABCDEFG88PIANO - I feel the same way about that Pumpkin muffin recipe going around. Sure, they taste great, but they are NOT health food simply because there's a little canned pumpkin in them. It still uses processed cake mix which has HFCS, and hydrogenated ingredients in it.
Here's a weird recipe for you - but HONEST, they taste good. Just a little intimidating at first:
PB & J's (Peanut Butter & Jalapenos)
Just take fresh jalapeno peppers, cut in half, remove the seeds (please use gloves!!). Fill with your favorite Peanut Butter and enjoy.
We make these for interesting appetizers to bring along when we're invited to potlucks and the like. I admit, these taste better with sweetened peanut butters - natural unsweetened Peanut Butter might not be all that great. Just think of it as PB on celery with a kick.

Well, this isn't really a recipe, but when I was a kid (like in junior high) my parents celebrated their sixteenth anniversary and my sister and I decided to surprise them with a special anniversary meal. My maiden name was "Cobb" and my mom collected corn cob stuff so we took inspiration from the corny kitchen LOL. We proudly presented the "Sweet Sixteen Corny Cafe" where we served-- yummy stuff here-- corn, cornbread, and corndogs.

I agree about the coke cake - I'm sure it tastes great, but I always wonder how in the world can it possibly be healthier than a cake made with egg, oil and water? Personally, I feel if there is such a thing as a "healthy" cake, it's one made from scratch, at least then there are no trans fats or other evil ingredients.
LOL, I couldn't think of any weird recipes, but DH is watching Andy Griffith and in the show, Goober was at a diner and just ordered a hamburger with tuna, Peanut Butter and ketchup. YUCK!

When I was a little girl my Mom got terrible migraine headaches and one day when she was in bed with another one, I decided to make her some soup...so she would feel better.
I think I was maybe 5-6 years old (thank God I didn't burn the house down). Anyways, I put a pot on the stove and added water, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, spices, etc just like I had seen her do. When it came time to add the garlic I thought that the whole bulb was one clove. So I added 4 or 5 whole bulbs of garlic to the soup (unpeeled). I still remember the smell in the house; it was unbelievably overpowering -- needless to say, it did not make my Mom feel any better and the smell made her even more sick...and she didn't eat any of it.
But, 26+ years later it's a pretty funny story...my first pot of soup

This is a hilarious thread. I especially like seeing the variety of tastes. I too am one of those who can't imagine makaing a dessert with beans or diet soda, but hey, I'm sure I like things others would find...odd. For ex. I don't think roast rabbit is odd at all.
I did see a post on here once and I apologize if I offend, again, it's my tastes I'm talking about, but someone was looking for a recipe she'd seen that included little smokie sausages and canned cherry pie filling as part of a crock pot recipe. Yeeesh. Definitely not to my taste.

OMGolly, I have to add this horrible "thing" that was posing as a dessert yesterday. One of my co-workers was RAVING about it and we all tried it. I don't have the recipe but it was truly vile. I couldn't even swallow the first bite!
It was a pureed, dense & condensed, sticky, super-sweet rice cake, served hot, wrapped in a tea leaf. First, you have to unwrap the tea leaf which is a mess. Then you bite in and hit the filling. The filling is bitter bean paste.
OMGolly, I'm getting naseaus just THINKING about it. It's like a sticky sugar bean burrito with bitter filling. UGH!

and about two days into the fast we had to admit we

Perhaps my recipe contribution should be classified under unusual, not ridiculous.
While I have never eaten roast rabbit, I do know people who enjoy it. What tickled my funny bone was the description of a rabbit that is good to select or not. I do not think I would find that in a general 21st century cookbook as knowlege that every homemaker should possess. I would expect to find the info about choosing a rabbit in a cookbook geared towards game and hunting.
My son-in-law hunts squirrel and says it is very tasty. Last year he did not have much time to hunt during squirrel season so he only got one. It looked very tiny when he had dressed it off.

From"Imperial Cook Book: American Housewife in the Dining Room and Kitchen" (Revised. Ed.), By Mrs. Grace Townsend, Imperial Publishing Company,copyright 1894:
Pork Cake (page 322)
One pound of salt pork chopped fine; pour over this 1 pint boiling coffee; dissolve [sic.] 1 tablespoon soda and mix with 1 coffee cup molasses, add 2 cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, black pepper and ginger, half ounce mace, and flour to make as stiff as you can stir it; add 1 pound each of raisins and currants. Bake for two hours.
Fried Cream (page 286)
One pint of milk, yolks of 3 eggs, one-quarter of a nutmeg, grated, 1 tabllespoon of corn starch, one-half cup of sugar, 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, 4 tablespoonfuls of flour. Put the milk on to boil in a farina boiler, moisten the flour and corn starch in a little cold milk, then add it to the boiloing milk. Stir and boil five minutes. Now add the sugar, nutmeg, and the yolks of 3 eggs well beaten. Let cook 1 minute; take from the fire and add flavoring. Turn into a square mould, and stand in a cold place for four or five hours. Then sprinkle some bread crumbs on a baking board, turn the cream out on them, and cut into squares. Dip them first in beaten eggs, then in crumbs, and fry in boiling fat. Serve with powdered sugar sifted over.
Pigeon Pie (page 200)
Highlights of recipe:
Pick and kill 4 wild pigeons, the same as chicken. Cut them into halves, put them in a baking pan, baste with melted butter and bake....Have ready 1 pound of ham cut into dice, 6 hard-boiled eggs sliced...take from the fire, add the beaten egg yolk of 1 egg, and pour into the pie through a funnel placed in the hole in the center of the top crust and it is ready to serve. It is most delicious. Tame pigeons may be used, but are not as good as the wild ones.
Blackbird Pie (page 202)
Blackbird pie may be made ths same as pigeon pie, using 1 dozen blackbirds instead of 4 pigeons.
Rabbits or Hares ( page 203)
To select, the body should be rather stiff, free from any unpleasant odor, and the flesh of reddish appearance. If young, it will have soft paws and ears. If old, the ears will be stiff and the edges rough, the paws hard and worn.
Tame rabbits, as a rule, are not fit to use. Rabbits are in the best condition in midwinter.
[Next are recipes for fricasseed rabbit, roast rabbit, rabbit-liver sauce and jugged hare.]
Squirrel Pot Pie
Skin, clean and cut up 2 squirrels and make the pot pie after any favored rule for chicken pot pie.

This recipe is just hilarious! I dont know how you kept a straight face while typing it out! And I just dont see why you cant add a honey lime butter dipping sauce on the side, for those who would like it. BEtter yet, you should have sold this recipe to our county fair orgainizers. Someone has come up with deep fried coke and they are making a mint on it. So I'm sure some entrpreneur in town is going to try this pork recipe, and they too will be laughing all the way to the bank with it! yes, I'm from the south and dont see anything at all odd about fried pickles, if they are done right! Yesterday I made a bbq sauce for pork ribs(there we go again)made from dates.

Deep-Fried Candied Pork Fat - New Orleans Recipe
[ed note: AKA Heart Attack on a Plate]
Ingredients:
3-4 Lbs Pork Fat Skin On (unsalted) cut into 1-inch cubes
Juice of 1 Lime
4 Cups Condensed Milk*
1/8-1/4 Tsp Ground Cloves
4 Tbsp Coconut Milk
2 Tbsp. Sweet Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Tbsp. Soft Butter
1 Cup Flour
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Slap yo Momma Cajun Seasoning (dry salty hot powder)
1 Tsp. Asses of Fire or Tabasco Sauce (sweet hot sauce wet)
1/2 Tsp. Vanilla
4 Cups new Lard for frying (make sure it's new)
2 Cup Confectioners Sugar (not regular)
3 Tbsp Shredded Coconut (optional)
1 Tsp Ground Cardamom - available at most Asian food stores
(optional)
Fresh Mint leaves for garnish
1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper
* a 2:1:1 mixture of 2% milk, regular sugar and corn starch can also be
used
Wash and place Pork Fat in a wide bowl, squeeze juice of 1 lime over
pork fat and mix well. This will clean and tenderize the fat and remove
any residual 'off' taste. Leave for at least 15 minutes, preferably
longer, and then wash and drain thoroughly (you need to remove all
traces of the lime juice before proceeding to the next step or the milk
will curdle).
Mix 2 cups condensed milk, ground cloves and coconut milk, pour over
pork fat and marinate in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Preparation:
Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep fryer to about 350-375 degrees.
Prepare batter by mixing together remaining 2 cups condensed milk, rice
wine vinegar, wet sweet hot sauce and soft butter.
In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and dry salty Cajun
seasoning.
In a COLD bowl, whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing
until smooth. Keep batter on ice.
Remove Pork Fat from marinade but do not dry, quickly (very quickly)
dust with flour and dip into the batter.
Rotate pork fat until batter covers entire cube.
Very, very, very, carefully place the battered pork fat in hot oil.
Pork fat will float, and air pockets may pop so it's a good idea to
use a splatter screen if you have one.
Fat cubes should turn golden in 4 to 5 minutes.
Rotate and turn to make sure that the entire fat cube has been browned
(be careful to neither overcook nor undercook!).
Remove fried sweet-battered pork fat to paper towel and let drain
(drain well).
In a wide rolling tray, blend confectioners sugar, shredded coconut and
ground cardamom.
While battered pork fat is still warm roll in confectioners sugar,
shredded coconut and ground cardamom mix to coat generously.
Place on a bed of mint leaves, or garnish with mint leaves (mint leaves
may also be eaten). Sprinkle mint leaves with a light coating of
confectioners sugar and cayenne pepper.
Suggested accompaniment: Hurricane (full or half), Mint Julep
(bourbon), Corona, Casa del Sol, Carribe, Don Equis etc. Wine - none,
Wine Cooler - none
I am, of course, deeply disappointed that it doesn't come with a buttery dipping sauce as well.

give the kid some credit not only is he a little chef, he is a little chemist.
That baking soda should have bubbled up as soon as it hit the salts in the bologna. There should have been enough starches from the cream of wheat to get the bubbles to form and hold for a bit, making it look like an alien from a B-movie, that's not counting the popping, snapping and crackling of the rice crispies.
That kid made some seriously intelligent food.

One of my acquaintance's family recipe lasagna.
Oh lord, this stuff was vile. It was a pan of layers of lasagna noodles, meat, sauce, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese and 4 pounds of velveeta. It had almost 10 pounds of cheeses with the overpowering flavor of velveeta. I had one piece...my stomach was turning, they had warned me "it was rich". I watched the family put back multiple pieces of the lasagna each.
I sat there for a couple of hours for the waves of nausea to pass. No human has evolved to eat that kind of food, all the adults in that family were 300+ lbs. It was vile.
oh well, I must have lost that recipe on my way home, since I have never made it and I think they gave me a copy of it.

I can't think right now of which recipe went severely bad but I know that my sister (who is moving out FINALLY on Friday) who is also my guinea pig has told me that some things have made her almost gag. For some reason, she doesn't like chopped meat or cream of mushroom soup... and then of course since it's cheap (and I don't really have $$), I put them together in different recipes. I always love it... she always says it's disgusting.

| If you want to try something strange but turns out very good. Try the Spark Recipe Chocolate cake that you mix in the pan! You mix all of your dry ingrediants into the cake pan and make 3 wells, one for oil, one for vinegar and one for vanilla. Then you pour water over it and mix it all together.Then you bake it! No one would ever know that the levening is baking soda and vinegar! It makes a nice moist cake.

| Worst meal i ever made was for first husband (should have been last, but thats another story). He promised the kids we would go to county parade that night. I had car packed with cooler, chairs, bug spray, water, etc. fed the kids hot dogs & something else. Husband comes home from work,hot & tired, kids bouncing around house all excited. He says, no, sorry Too Tired. not going. kids crying. I had put a pot of water on stove with hot dogs in it to boil for him. When kids started crying, he finally gave in and said lets go,( this took about 45 minutes of yelling)get in the car. I was so mad, decided not to go, then felt bad for kids, so jumped in car and off we went. Bad experience, parade didnt start on time, crowding & shoving, everyone hot & sweaty. Trekked about as far to car as if we walked home. Open the front door, and house is filled with smoke, smoke detectors blaring, and the stink! I had Forgot to turn off the stove with hot dogs boiling! We turned on fans, opened doors & windows, took batteries out of smoke detectors (wouldnt stop blaring), and I looked at stove, picked up scorched, burned pot, smacked it on the counter, and said, theres your dinner!

I made (several times)a cake with a can of baked beans in the mix. It is a spice cake, and you use a can of crushed pineapple and a can of good ole pork & beans. Just had to be sure to puree ALL the beans, or if someone found one, all H@#%% broke loose. Frosted with cream cheese frosting, people came back for seconds until they found out what was in it.
One day, I made a bowl of cream cheese frosting. It was on the counter while I finished baking a cake. I had mixed up a bowlful of "pan greae", equal parts of crisco, oil, and flour, which was sitting on counter next to cream cheese frosting. Everytime my daughter walked through kitchen, she swiped a finger thru the cream cheese bowl. I kept telling her to stop it, but she was pretty sneaky. NOT as sneaky as mom! I switched the bowls! Since they looked alike, she had no way of knowing what I did, until she put her finger in her mouth! She never did that again.
I;ve had the pecan pie made with beans, it was ok until you find out the secret ingredient. same with Tomato Soup cake. My dad thinks Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake has a lot of coconut in it.
Most disgusting thing I ever made was the day I decided to cook kielbasa in Crockpot with sauerkraut. Ordinarily it would have been fine, except I put it on high, from 7 am until 6 pm. It was so overcooked, so mushy, so bad smelling, I just took the whole Crockpot full and dumped in garbage, and told my husband we had to eat out.

| I have used the diet pop cake several times and it makes a nice moist cake. The one that I just can't bring myself to try is the brownies with pureed beans. That just sounds too disguisting to even try.

The worst dessert I ever heard of was mine.
I had helped open a new restraunt from the ground up.Strictly gormet only serving dinner on the Ocean with $2,500 bottles of wine and a cigar room..etc.We recieved 1 1/2 stars our first year which is better than good.
Well I made a Key Lime tart for a costomer and within 5 or less min. here comes the tart back and the customer is raising,H@#LL.
Turns out I had accidently put ceaser dressing instead of key lime filling in her tart.They were side by side and the same color but had got moved and I didn't catch it.Well,I did catch it and was ribbed for weeks. :)
good cookin...Chef Jim

I am laughing here because there are so many different folks who like different things and types of food. =) I am one of those 'diet coke cake makers.' I have made it for friends and they never knew the difference! =0 I suppose the reason why I like it is because one piece has half the calories of ordinary cake. True that it has synthetic stuff in it which isn't the greatest ingredient for our bodies. I have given up regular soda without having to resort to drinking diet which is a good thing. (I never could stand the taste of artificial sweeteners!) I still can't believe I am actually drinking eight glasses of water a day! Who would have thunk??? Surely not ME! I know in this healthy journey there will be things that I am eating now that I will soon phase out but I do know that I am eating healthier then before which is a big plus!
Funny cuz I really cant think of a recipe that is ridiculous as I try to think about it. But I KNOW there are so millions of bad recipes out there. What irks me is taking the time to buy special ingredients and make a recipe and it comes out bland. I like tasty food and when it doesnt come out I think of all the time, money and effort wasted. ARGH!
One time I added pepper to my cream of wheat instead of cinnamon. ARGH! That'll teach me to look twice!

In defence of the "Diet Soda Cakes", don't knock it if you havn't tried it. They are great! I made the chocolate cherry dump cake and my DH loved it too.

It was an accident, but a friend of mine accidently used lemon extract instead of vanilla in ginger snaps. Aaaannd she used 2x as much as she should have.
They were terrible. Even her boyfriend wouldn't eat them.
Mine did.
If she's on this website, she'll recognize the story RIGHT AWAY.

| Years ago, I tried a recipe in a Campbell Soup Cookbook for a cake made with tomato soup; it was terrible! The whole thing ended up in the garbage.

At the risk of offending, I have to say that I cringe when I see posts about the diet soda cakes frosted with cool-whip! (you add a can of soda to a box of cake mix, cook it, then frost it with fat-free cool whip/pudding mix combination).
If I'm going to have a dessert, it's going to be something "real" with minimal processed ingredients, no corn syrup or HFCS, no artificial sweeteners, etc. You can still lose weight and eat real desserts as long as you plan for it!

| Once long ago my mom made her own "vegetable juice" by basically using salad ingredients (even lettuce!) and just throwing them in the blender. Needless to say, I was not impressed (with the brownish color had from mixing green vegetables and red tomatoes, or the awful taste and drippy consistency).

| My dad once made a Tabasco Pumpkin pie. It tasted really good. Just like regular but with a kick at the end.

At a party I once attended, there were cocktail meatballs on fancy toothpicks that tasted a little "different"
When I asked the host what type of glaze were on the meatballs she replied " a combination of grape jelly and chili sauce"
They tasted pretty good for a weird combo of ingredients.

| I can't remember exactly what all was in it, but I tried one once that had rice, sour cream, cheese, peas, etc. It was absolutely awful, and I tore that recipe up immediately. I don't know why I even tried it!!!! Actually, the magazines that I found it in were given to me, and none of the recipes were "keepers". That was the only horrible one, but none of the others really did it for me.
