Culinary Misfits

You know, today I made an awful main dish for lunch. Years ago at a potluck I ate some wonderful cheeseball patties that had been baked in the oven. I tried to make these this time but instead of baking them, I fried them. They turned out to be greasy, crusty, awful, smushy looking things. I felt ill after I ate a couple of them. They didn't hold together very well and tasted like cardboard. I didn't realize that they'd make me feel sick until a couple hours after I was full of the greasy things.
So to make myself feel better, I thought I'd compile this list of even better delicacies. See what you think.
I have considered writing a new cookbook. People don't have much imagination when it comes to creative cookery so being someone who disdains the ordinary (as evidenced by my catastrophic kitchen experiment today), I've come up with a few dishes that may be of interest to those of you who are sick of the same old thing.
Consider these as ways to perk up your daily caloric intake:

Kumquat Flambe'
Rhubarb Paprikash
Okra Aspic
Fava Bean Flambe
Prunes en croute (oh, ish!)
Slug Pate'

Then I found this website called Bert Christensen's Wierd & Different Recipes. Shocking perusal in store for those who take the time to read what he has assembled.

Check these horrendous stomach turners out!

Cow udder eclairs
Jellied Moose Nose
Lizard Tongues on Crackers
Locust Bisque
Hairball Salad with Saliva Dressing (oh please...this is actually made of alfalfa sprouts and avocado and it looks horrendous)
Curried Kangaroo Tail
Buzzard's Breath Barbecue Sauce
Chunky Cat Barf (don't ask--you don't want to know)
Finish off with Garlic Ice Cream

Wash this down with a chilled beverage called Ralph's Retch

Want to start a restaurant with me?

yes, but only if we leave out the Hairball Salad - I hate sprouts. . .

Heh-heh! The one that caught my attention, oddly enough, was "fava bean flambe." However, I must say I absolutely adore the word "paprikash!"
