I think this qualifies. From the Wednesday, October 14th Freep:
** Broccoli Castlerole **
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
10 or 12 White Castle hamburgers
40 ounces chopped frozen broccoli, cooked
1 32-ounce box Velveeta cheese, melted
1 stack (35) Ritz crackers
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13 inch casserole
with vegetable cooking spray. Place hamburgers side by side in
prepared casserole. Layer cooked broccoli over hamburgers. Pour
melted cheese over broccoli. In a food processor or blender, crush
crackers with butter. Sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake 30
minutes or until topping starts to brown. Serves 6 to 8.
To order a free booklet of winning White Castle recipes, call
1-800-852-7583. Bon Appetit.

I not only think that recipe qualifies, it could win a prize. Although, I
once made a tuna-green jello concoction (with tiny peas no less) that was
so awful, even my new and eager husband (at that time) suggested we throw it
down the toilet (which we did). Some of the bread and muffin recipes in
the Ann Arbor News Wednesday Food section -especially the ones that are
supposed to be "good for you" come a close third.

Did you know that White Castle hamburgers are relatively low in fat?
That's because the meat is such a tiny slab, and the bread is quite
large in comparison. Anyway, I read that recipe in the paper, Mary,
and had a reaction almost identical to yours.

Does anyone know the recipe for Mock Apple Pie, using Ritz crackers?
I'd really like to see it sometime.

re #0 omigod! :-o
re #1: my mom used to make an aspic (i think that's what it was called)
with green jello and tuna. my sister and i used to run screaming from
that. it looked sort of like vomit trapped in green amber. yucch!
the only redeeming feature it had was that mom could mold it into really
neat shapes.

This is from a cookbook i bought at the friends of the public library
sale today. i post it because of its title, not because i've actually
tried cooking it.
Eggs In Hell
Heat
3 Tbsp. oil
Saute therein a few minutes:
1 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 hot dry red pepper, chopped
Add
1 can of tomatoes and juice
Season with
chili powder, parsley, bay leaf, sea salt, pepper
1 Tsp. - 1 Tbsp. honey
a little juice from canned jalapenos (optional)
Cook down the sauce over medium high heat for ten-fifteen minutes.
Then drop into the simmering sauce
6 - 10 eggs
Spoon sauce over eggs a little. Don't stir - these eggs do not get
scrambled but poach in this sauce. Cover tightly and
let steam about eight minutes.
Serve steaming hot over brown rice.
The cookbook goes on to list some variations.
The name of the cookbook is _Almonds to Zoybeans_ by Mothey Parsons.
I'd guess it might be out of print.

(I get the impression that Valerie thinks I won't eat anything
unless it has strips of charred flesh hanging off the sides..)

From the Freep, sometime within the past week or so:
Good cooks have plenty of cookbooks. Now bad cooks have their own
volume of horrible, yet real recipes, in "The Worst Cookbook in America"
by Mike Nelson. Its hideous concoctions include Weiner Water (boil
weiners in water, throw away the weiners, then pour water into bowls
and serve.) Lung Stew ("This dish was served in our convent many years
ago. I've never forgotten it," wrote its contributor), liver cheesecake,
castor oil cookies and Czechoslovakian brain pancakes. Nelson, of
Minneapolis, swears these are all genuine recipes he collected over
10 years. My advice to you is: Do not buy this book for its pig's
ear salad. But if you're not feeling well and need to laugh your
way to health, this is side-splittingly funny. Not available
in stores; send $9.95 to Box 580075, Minneapolis, Minn. 55458
Sounds like a cookbook from Hell if there ever was one.

Cod mixed with lye?

something like that, apparently.. traditional Scandinavian (predominantly
Norwegian, some Swedes deny responsibility) dish that is the stuff of legend
in alt.folklore.urban.. Dried cod (stokfish) soaked in lye, then soaked
in water.. Supposedly ends up with a jello-like consistency (which is pretty
disturbing behavior for something that starts as dried fish..)

That sounds like what my ex mother-in-law described! She's Swedish...but I
was sure she was yanking my lower extremity. She says it's a real
traditional x-mas favorite...but, she says, you *must* have an experienced
cook because if you miss any of the lye it can be fatal.
(eowww!)

This is from the Detroit Edison newsletter that comes with the
electric bill. The recipe is a winning recipe submitted by Olga
Bolla of Lincoln Park, who got a $50 electric-bill credit for it.
Mock Coconut Cream Pie
------------------------
1/2 cup biscuit mix
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Egg substitute to equal 4 eggs
2 cups skimmed milk
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1-1/2 cups spaghetti squash (cooked)
3 tablespoons light margarine, melted.
Blend ingredients -- except squash -- for one minute. Fold
in the squash. Pour into a 9-inch pie pan sprayed with a
non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for
60 to 65 minutes, until sides become lightly brown.
Serves 6.
