The lettuce garnish sure doesn’t make “Spam gelatin” any more appealing, does it? Hhooaarff.
I have the Mackerel Pudding book, and it’s hysterical!
You’ve been saving that Horf Loaf picture, haven’t you?
Gahhhh. All that atomic testing turned us into spam gelatin eating mutants and we didn’t even know it!
It looks like shaped cottage cheese. Blurfle.
It looks like an anemic quiche Lorraine.
Shaped cottage cheese or just mold growing over everything.
But, what’s that thing glowing burnt-orange in the background?
@scout1222 – I have the Mackerel Pudding book too and I concur that it is hysterical.
The best part is that I found the actual vintage Weight Watchers recipe cards at a yard sale a couple of years ago…I snatched them right up and reveled in the fact that they are every bit as disturbing as the book makes them out to be!
Looks like lemon Jell-O with carrot shreds. Jesus, did all recipes come from Bizarro World in the fifties/sixties or what?
Rab01, I think that’s orange Jell-O with pineapple chunks and shredded carrot. Or, as we call it in the Midwest, “salad.”
Wendy sent me the “Fishcakes” card years ago. It’s now been over my desk in [counts on fingers] five different apartments.
I’m fairly certain that the orange thing is a denevan neural parasite.
please don’t show us anymore of these TERRIBLY disturbing food pictures.
Neither my mind nor stomach is prepared for these way-too-in-focus pics, and i do not want to practice the sounds to help me decide on voting. Thank you.
What’s really spooking me is the *tiny* bit of that same fluoro orange just peeking out from under the cottage cheese (?) on the main dish. It’s like it’s sneaking up on the table, just waiting to ooze onto and engulf another plate. [shudder]
@Yoshi: I noticed that, too! It’s like the spam loaf is layered on top of corn-infused aspic? (Note the small yellow chunks in the foreground of the photo.)I’m trying to convince myself that the top layer is vegetable cream cheese, but I can’t think of any pink vegetables.
Lately I’ve been trying to lose weight… and this whole barf-sounds poll has been a huge help with that. If I get hungry I just have to look at one of these pictures and/or read the list of sounds and my appetite is gone.
I had never even heard of “Spam gelatin” before I read this post. I think I just died a little. HRRRAAAAALLLFFFF
“Chunks” is the wrong word to use here.
Blerf.
Are you there God? It’s me, Melissa.
I don’t know what I did to warrant seeing this “food” thing that appears to be a pork/spam/only you know what, chilled lasagna wannabe…
Omg. I can’t continue with my post. Or ever look at, or envision, that image again.
Blurp. Bluerhghahooorhoooraffffffffff. Bleurgh. Bluergh. (save me, pleas…). Bleurghhhhhhhahaaaalffff.
Can I just add that this is the first picture that has made me want to yark on sight? Even the refried beans took a few minutes of consideration for the nausea to begin. Gag-o-riffic!
Oh, hi there. I’ve been so out of the loop I didn’t even get to vote (for myself). That photo is awful and as SolitaryBlue said, an EXCELLENT appetite suppressant. No sane person should eat any one of those ingredients, let alone combine them.
Also, yes, Mackerel Pudding is amazing and will have you in tears laughing. Yay, 1970s?
Oh my gosh–me? I think it’s ME! I’d like to thank my allergic reaction to an enzymatic cleanse supplement that forced me to pull over my car twice in a 20-minute trip to hhooaarf out the open driver’s door. (And, misjudging it, into the plastic door-pocket as well, ice scraper and parking pass be damned.)
Even if it isn’t Me-Kim, I’ma choose some books here just so I can say “Mackerel-Succotash-Cake,” which is coincidentally THE DISH DEPICTED IN THE PHOTO ABOVE. :D
Oh, it’s you, Ralph Macchio.
You guys, I feel like I missed my 15 minutes of fame! I have been so busy at work I completely missed the popularity of HRRRAAAAALLLFFFF (definition: mayonnaise, if I remember correctly).
Sars, I will go with the Mackerel Pudding book. Thank you!
