Head Chef
When I did a search to look for liquor recipe sites for texasgirl I came accross this site called Utterly Outrageous Recipes. I started reading and was astounded, and quite frankly lost my appetite for the next few minutes, by what some people will eat. I'm guilty of eating some strange food, but not quite like this. This is a fun read.

Scrapple:
1 hog's head
4 to 5 quarts cold water
4 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons powdered sage
yellow corn meal (about 3 cups)
Separate one hog's head into halves. Remove eyes and brains. Scrape head and clean thoroughly. Place in large kettle and cover with 4-5 quarts of cold water. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 hours, or until meat falls from the bones. Skimm grease carefully from the surface; remove meat. chop fine, and turn liquor. Season with salt, pepper, and sage to taste. Sift in corn meal, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened to the consistency of mush. Cook slowly for 1 hour over low heat. When sufficiently cooked, pour into greased oblong pans and store in a cool place until ready to use. Cut in thin slices and fry until crisp and brown. Makes 6 pounds.
Mustard Crunchies
When I was a kid I had a friend that ate mustard on everything: ice cream, jello and other oddities. But the grossest thing was waterbugs... she'd dip um in the mustard and crunch um... yuck! Thats how I remember her name.

Chedder Coffee
My friends mom has always been "unique" in general, so it didn't surpise me that she enjoys putting slices of chedder cheese in her morning coffee. When the coffee is gone, she slurps down the glob of melted cheese.

Rocky Mountain Oysters

Bisquick Ick
A really great dish, actually: Make a couple of pancakes with Bisquick or whatever. Put a slice of any cheese in between (make sure it melts well) -- then cover the whole deal with a decent spaghetti sauce.
Like a lot of the stuff on the list, it's really not as weird as it seems.

I was raised on this Jell-O salad and my grandmother passed the recipe on to me, however, none of the rest of my family will even touch it. Neither will any of my friends. I love it and make a big bowl of it for myself every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Also.. it's my comfort food. My family calls it my "GREEN STUFF" and tells me that it's growing in my refrigerator. :-( Here you go, I hope you like.. you can try it with bologna and jelly sandwiches.. it's GREAT!!!:
