I've been looking at this woman's face my whole life. This was that weird dirty cookbook that sits on the shelf in the kitchen but never really gets used. Only two pages have those tell-tale smears of grease and sauce, evidence of attempted recipes. Thankfully, they were for chili and potato salad. Easily the least offensive dishes described within these pages.
These are the recipes that deserve your attention. Let's start with an appetizer and work our way through the culinary minefield that is White Trash Cooking.
I have a distant memory of eating these once and they were amazing. Slimy and salty and wonderful.
This is the savory version of my own recipe I provide at the end.
Ugh.
Maybe these people are just really fucking high.
"If he has any?"
My mom reluctantly admitted to me that she ate squirrel once as a child. She didn't like it when I announced this at dinner one night. Luckily she doesn't read my blog.
I'm assuming these ingredients are mentioned somewhere in each of those... chapters? Scriptures? What are they called? Anyway, sounds good. Though comparing something to fruitcake doesn't seem like a good marketing idea.
This genuinely sounds good. I might do it. I'm imagining it with canned apricots. Think of all the combinations of canned fruit and box cake that are possible.
This is what's known as ambrosia salad. Ambrosia. As in, the food of the gods. It's a staple of upstate family reunions (I'm not talkin' Hudson Valley "upstate" here) and let me tell you. Ambrosia is not a misnomer.
If you're going to sweeten milk, at least use something that'll taste good. Where did this sudden health worry come from? Once you're covering everything in butter, just go for it and add real sugar to your Pick-Me-Up. Brown sugar would be nice, or honey maybe.
Here's my own white trash recipe. My dad used to make this for me and I thought it was most wonderful thing I had ever had.
Milky Banana Bread
2 slices Wonderbread 1 banana sliced
I cup whole milk or cream Spoonful of sugar
Place Wonderbread slices in wide shallow bowl. Cover with sliced bananas. Sprinkle with sugar, and pour milk over it all. Eat with a spoon.
