They do look very festive, don't they?

Well, all 5 of us had a very strong reaction when someone who has often raved loudly about her own cooking brought in a curious looking dish.

It was a gloppy crust-covered thing that red jellied stuff had boiled up out of and we could see differently colored chunks inside of it.

What was it, you ask? It was "sweet and sour deer pot pie".

SWEET. AND. SOUR. DEER. POT. PIE.

It had grayish chunks of deer meat floating in potatoes, marachino cherries, barbeque sauce, celery, apples, and some other horrid looking shit under a dome of flattened biscuits.

The smell of it was like the trash can at the fair when it's 100 degrees outside.

Who the FUCK would eat that?

OMG, I am laughing so hard I am crying.

Green Stuff = Lime J-ello, mini marshmallows melted into it, crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, cottage cheese and cool-whip.

It is delicious.

After that photo, I have to post this link. Enjoy the recipe cards, and if you make any of the dishes... um, don't tell me.

My daughter's ex-husband's family always had oyster stuffing each year, they swore by it. (me, I would just swear!) That, and oyster stew for Christmas Eve. Yuk.
So here I am, for the first time in 15 yrs, being able to cook for my family for Thanksgiving. I have to say I make some of the BEST dressing in the world. My daughter told me that SHE would be making her oyster stuffing again, I told her fine, as long as I made MY stuffing too! She also wants to almost arm wrestle for the right to make our family's traditional cheesy corn casserole. I think I will let her, knowing she wouldn't have known how to make it if it were not for ME teaching her so many years ago! LOL
Bottom line is, Thanksgiving will be at MY place this year!

hahahaha It kinda looks like the bottom of my boots after I get home from work. It looks like spearmint leaves (probably to mask the terrible odor) and dead cockroaches with some real stiff white rice and some very old pepperoni, with dryed orange peels.

Before there was Jello there was Aspic which for those who do not want to click the link it's congealed meat stock.... yummmm.
I've had all the kinds of jello mentioned here... they're really not that bad. The cottage cheese one is one of my favourites.



Aspic with rice, corn and vegetables.

[BoDy*ShOt]

the ex-mil's dressing and gravy. sooooo super gross with the innards nasties and sliced boiled eggs. I mean. gravy is not meant to be chunky...i gag at the thought of it *bleck*

What I would like to know is who was the first person who thought this up? Who decided that would be a good idea?

Perhaps, to someone, it tastes good, but still... who thought it up?

someone with no more meat left for the family so they came up with what to do with the rime of stock they had in the pan.

I'd know--we eat gizzards at thanksgiving.

For years, my dear Pop thought that giving his friends these little hard bricks of dry, chewy, sticky, cubed, candied, plastic-tasting so-called "fruitcake" was a really good idea. They're made in Claxton, Georgia, and have been around for something like 100 years. How this has happened, I have no idea. Apparently, there are some people who actually *like* these things. They'd make great door stoppers.

Me?? I'd only give them to someone whom I really, really didn't like.

I think this stuff would survive years and years of re-gifting. The shelf life of them has to be at least 25 years. They probably stock them in fallout shelters.

Necessity is the mother of invention. So my guess is some who was real hungry in the middle of an old mother hubbard moment. I wonder the same thing about a lot of foods we eat. Like crab. I love crabs but have you ever seen one walking along? The guy that said hey , look at that, doesn't that look good ,let's eat it,had to be pretty dang hungry.
Not to bump the thread or anything.

Gizzards aren't really a stretch. Aspic is pretty darn... creative.

[ReDo]

Oh my gosh I have been nasious feeling for about 3 weeks now. The smell of food makes me sick then eating food makes me sick. i didn't think that looking at pictures of food could make me sick until now. OMG these dishes are NASTY what is wrong with people.

I have to say the description of the deer and cheries. OMG almost had me grabing the trash can on that. Lordy I never knew. Then the picture of the Aspic dish.. Ummm maybe this thread isn't for me. Wowzers

Last night laying in bed Panama and I were talking about thanksgiving dinner and what we want to do. Hys family tradition is to go to Golden Corral which the food there is okay not the best but not the worst however my family always had the big family gathering at someone's house everyone brought something.

So we are going to Golden Corral which hy knows I am not too excited about but it will be nice spending time with hys mom and her friend and try something new. Then the idea poped in hys handsome head to do both. We can have a small turkey and everything here and go there. OH MY GOSH.... okay I love to bake and I love to cook the turkey, and I love hym for thinking of me and trying to make sure I am happy too.

Then the idea that hy had was to make hys grandmother's side dish. Oh its jello again....

lemon jello with shredded carrots and celery.

I looked at hym and said "maybe we just go out to dinner."

I kissed hym sweetly and went to sleep before more idea's could come up.

I love you Pan I really do but veggies do NOT belong in desserts.

I'm a-tellin' ya, 7-up can save that.
