Worst dish you've ever heard of.

I've been extreme couponing for a women's shelter. Got to talking with some of the staff today because I was donating a book called How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. Since I've been bringing in completely random produce, meat and other ingredients, I thought it would help residents who didn't know much about the stranger things I was buying because it's inexpensive. The fact is that I was not taught how to cook and that whole sh*t on a shingle was a big presence in my childhood, right alongside a wedge of iceberg lettuce with Thousand Island dressing. So I'm talking about how this is like Chopped with all the random stuff I'm bringing in and thinking about my story about working late in college at the commissary and missing dinner but I could cash in my meal card at the commissary but the only ingredients left when I got off shift were typically eggs and spaghetti sauce. So I would scramble eggs and pour spaghetti sauce over them and called them spaghetti eggs. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of Worst Cooks in America.

Then one woman points at another and says, "Well, last week she put a hot dog in a taco shell, put spinach on top with onions and tried to feed it to her son." So I tell my story about the spaghetti eggs and the other woman is just nodding her head like, yeah, I can see that and I may have given her a good idea but the first woman actually took a step back like we had the plague. OMG. I'm still laughing!

Sort of flies in the face of couponning but we went out to a fancy new restaurant in Toronto with another couple and the other lady and I both thought avocado cooked somehow I forget and with a poached egg on top sounded like a good appetizer. There was a red sauce too, spaghetti sauce looking. Anyway, it came and we both thought we were going to be sick. It looked awful, it smelled awful. I don't know how it tasted, I don't remember trying it. The only part of it that was good was how it was written up in the menu. Spoiled the whole meal.

Years ago DW decided to get healthy. She tried to make an omelet with EGG Beaters and fat free cheese. She tried one bite and then chiseled the remains out of the pan right into the trash.

There was a restaurant near me that served muskrat. Yes, muskrat. Place was called the Wagon Wheel, and they were on Restaurant Impossible a couple years ago, even after a make over, they ended up closing down.

Smoked Ground Hog. Yeah the thing that sees it's shadow. Worst thing I ever tried and made me want to gag then and that must have been 30 years ago and makes me want to gag now thinking about it.

One of my grandmother's loved groundhog, which she called Whistle Pig. She'd come home from driving somewhere with an uncle pitching a fit that they wouldn't stop and shoot some poor critter they'd seen by the side of the road. Fortunately I was never there when they'd actually gotten one. I refused to try some snapping turtle they cooked up on the grill. I saw that thing after it was dead but before they did whatever had to be done to make it grill-able. Gah!

Having had too many casseroles as a kid, I do not want to eat anything made with canned cream of anything soup. To me, that's some nasty stuff.

We went on a food tour last weekend and tried peanut butter and jelly bacon cheeseburger. It tasted like I was eating a pb&j sandwich and took a bite of a bacon cheeseburger. Didn't pair well for me, though it's apparently an award winning dish.

OMG, laughing so hard. Mom was a stay at home Mom and cooked a big dinner every night. Trouble was, she taught me nothing so some of my concoctions have been sketchy. DH is a much better cook and I and I certainly don't mind being the clean up crew.

Like avocados but with an egg, pass.

The fact that people around here line up for the Testicle Festival may or may not reinforce a stereotype of Nebraska. no thank you.

I will absolutely take your word for this, lol! When I have seen these eaten on tv it always seems to be men, I gag just thinking about it. I can't even imagine...
