I can hear you asking, "What in the name of all that is sacred is that concoction?"

Is it cockroaches swimming/drowning in potato soup?
Is it some sort of pinto bean and cream nightmare?

I'd almost prefer these options, because grape and almond soup is just too crazy to be believed.

Miracle Whip/parmesan/mashed potatoes/hard boiled egg mixture rolled up in a lovely beef roll. For the final touch, pour some hot Miracle Whip on the roll just before serving. MmmmMmmm

PS: Don't forget the asparagus for a touch of class (with the hot Miracle Whip sauce of course!)

what in the name of all that's holy is going on in this thread??? I definitely need a "hork" button SRSLY. I agree with the olive abuse, though I fully admit that cheese loaf was one of my favorite things when I was a kid.

Whats with the random bananas? That one fish thing was like, cut up corn cobs with hollandaise, fried whole fish and bananas foster in the same skillet. W. T. F. and chicken salad with avocados and bananas. blegh.

I'm not sure I know, but it isn't pretty.

In the spirit of the Bardesque (I think) I give you a "meal" I was served often as a child.





Ham Salad. If I was lucky, I got a Kraft Single splatted on top.

OK folks. Here's a new challenge. I really, truly did not know what the last Mystery Meal was, but I vote for Deep Fried Sharpie Puppies as the best answer. This one, I DO know what it is, and ask those assembled to suss it out.




Here are some variations on the recipie:






As clue, I will say that there is a political issue surrounding this little viand.

Ready? Set? Go!

Ok, this is a guess, is that burned looking loaf thing a meal all to itself?

It looks like the management meals the prison feeds problem inmates.

I hereby disqualify myself from this competition.

But that stuff's NASTY!

Siobhan OFlynn

I have a picture that will blow all previous entries right out of the water.

Come on, people, guess already!

Joy Honey

Siobhan wins that one, cause she knows that it's nutraloaf!!!

I'm just adding a few things here, not much guesswork involved (though I don't know wtf is all over this crab or wtf is in that pan)



YAY!! More parsley!




I guess I do have an entry for the WTF is that? game. But Siobhan has something she wants to share, so I'll just tell you: Lamb, Tomato and Vegetable Salad Mold

Oh do I! The first NSFW entry in the Bardesque Food Thread!









Here is the obligatory space between the NSFW warning and the actual entry:

Where's the bloody parsley?? Basil or spinach do not a garnish make

How bored (or drunk) do you have to be to do that to 'food'?

Hey Sio - did the mags arrive?

Surreal

It's Friday, so something fishy for your Catholics out there.

Joy Honey

I give you baked trout with peas, lemons, and tomatoes. Oh, no olive eyes this time. They are now cleverly hidden by small sprigs of parsley!

Bard Jameson

Sio wins my little challenge - it is in fact "Nutraloaf" (the very name itself is Bardesque)

Joy shows extreme Bardesque style with six ugly dishes that all feature parsley garnish (the little sprigs covering the trout's eyes like coins for the ferryman being a particularly nasty stylistic element)

Surreal brings us something so hideous as to call for a Bardesque WTF? (What IS that, Sureal?)

And Sio wins the page with our first example of Bardesque Food Pr0n. My only complaint is with Max - parsley should have been used to stunning effect by forming the pubic hair )

You are all hereby graduated as Four Star Ugly Food Chefs!

Trout Recreant

"coins for the ferryman" is the first thought that crossed my mind as well. Then I thought, "Why would fish need a ferry? They could just swim." At any rate, that's a waste of perfectly good trout.

Siobhan OFlynn

OMG, yes! We love them. I thought I sent you a PM, but I've had the head cold from hell and my mind isn't working up to full speed these days.

I am in love with those magazines. We've already brined some pork chops and tried a couple of other recipes!

Carter-Madhu

Not a great picture, but another item for Madhu's List of Things That Should Not Be Frosted:

Meat loaf!

Bard Jameson

It seems that meat is, in its various forms, a favorite subject for torture. Here we have a version of meat as a layer cake. Note all the important elements: gherkins, olives, pimento, gray meat in the form of deli slices and cocktail weenies, and towers of cheese.

Gather 'round, everybody!
