Most disgusting food you have made, but you liked?

That bag of powdered eggs I mentioned in another thread reminded me of something I made with it...

Chili Souffle

Ingredients:

Water
Powdered Eggs
Can (s) of Hormel Chili

Mix in large bowl. Put into microwave until it sets up. Eat.
Probably could be done over a campfire, too

Poor at the time, electric bill was not paid (horrible roommate) so we stole a ton of used charcoal from neighbors in a gated community that we lived in (which was also horrible). Cooked up some top ramen and generic mac/cheese. I think I only liked it because at the time I was young, dumb and incredibly hungry.

LOL...were the ramen and mac/cheese mixed together? Can't say I have tried that.

This reminds me of Waffle House, because you can order chili on your hash browns there. (Or on your eggs, for that matter, although I doubt it's as popular.)

The most disgusting looking food I've ever made that was good was a breakfast bowl with grits, scrambled eggs, shredded hash browns, ground breakfast sausage and sliced cheese. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!

Hi...


So far...I can't think of any disgusting food I've made. Really...!!

I still like it from the old college days of batching it.

Brown half pound hamburger in a skillet
dump a can of pork and beans on the burger, stir and warm.
Eat like a hog.

Grandma won't tolerate it, says it's disgusting. She has to have at least 2 more vegies and some bread to mop up the juice ooops to eat daintily with butter.

I still like it

1 Bag of Doritos with chili and cheese poured in from 7-11. Eaten right out of the bag. OK it was yummmmy but you didn't want anyone to see you eating it. My HS principal caught me working on that snack several years after graduation and just smiled and nodded. Several weeks later I read in the papers that he'd been arrested for buying drugs. Go figure.

He probably needed them after watching you eat that melange with your fingers.

It does sound pretty good though.

I agree with Pathfinder. At the end of longer trips sometimes the combinations of food at hand are very unusual and probably something I would not eat at home. But given the circumstances they are just what we need. I have only rarely eaten anything disgusting in my whole life.

An example of unusual food was some chicken that we cooked in a Dutch on the Trinity River in the land of Bigfoot. There were blackberries everywhere, and a bunch went into the pot, along with some blueberry flavored kool-aid. It was not the best thing I ever cooked, but people remember still remember it.

Hi...


I do remember one instance...wasn't disgusting...just inedable...!!

When I was about 12-years old, I hitch-hiked with a frying pan and some regular flour to a friends house. We went into the woods...built a camp fire...mixed the flour with water...and tried to make pancakes. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way, but it was a lesson learned.
