My gas bill always includes a cheery little one-page newsletter. A recurring feature is a quick and easy recipe for family dining, accompanied by a color photo of the dish.
The recipe for the month is "Hot Beef Sundaes."
Here's how. Into parfait glasses, layer "refrigerated mashed potatoes" with "refrigerated fully cooked beef tips with gravy" and shredded cheddar cheese. Top with sour cream and a cherry tomato.
I cannot imagine being hungry enough ever to put that concoction near my tongue. Ever.
James Lileks would be pleased to know of this recipe.

Somebody out there loves this, probably the same person that loves the Apricot Meatloaf I encountered 25 years ago.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

How about putting hot beef tips and gravy in a big Idaho baked potato then topping it with the sour cream? Skip the cherry.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Apricot Meatloaf does sound horrible, but when I was a kid I liked a little bit of apricot jam or chokecherry jelly with my chicken or beef instead of gravy.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:Somebody out there loves this, probably the same person that loves the Apricot Meatloaf I encountered 25 years ago.

That might be rather good (although my personal favorite baked potato toppings are butter, cheese, bacon, cheese, and more cheese.)Bob Juch wrote:How about putting hot beef tips and gravy in a big Idaho baked potato then topping it with the sour cream? Skip the cherry.

I wonder why they call it "Hot Beef Sundaes" if everything is refrigerated. It doesn't sound horrible if it were served hot.silvercamaro wrote:The recipe for the month is "Hot Beef Sundaes."

Re: Worst recipe of the day
It gets its name because of the photo, which does look like a large hot fudge sundae in a parfait glass. Then, when I read the recipe, my stomach started to churn a little. It is okay to heat up the potatos and the beef. You do that, and report back to us.Estonut wrote:
