Rotten Recipes

|
Perhaps, it is unfair of me to call this page Rotten
Recipes. After all, every one of these recipes are in cookbooks or in sources
that people actually go to find good recipes. As far as I know, these are
treasured recipes in some families and/or cultures. Despite that, these are
recipes that I'd personally never try...and I'm pretty brave when it comes to
food. I'd also like to include some joke recipes and may have more ideas planned
for this page in the future.
ROTTEN RECIPES
To Boil Calf's Head
Clean it very nicely, and soak it in water, that it may look very white:
take out the tongue to salt, and the brains to make a little dish. Boil the
head extremely tender; then strew it over the crumbs and chopped parsley,
and brown them; or if liked better, leave one side plain. Bacon and greens
are to be served to eat with it. The brains must be boiled; and then mixed
with melted butter, scalded sage chopped, pepper and salt. If any of the
head is left, it may be hashed the next day, and a few slices of bacon just
warmed and put around.

Banana-Rhubarb Ice Cream

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup hot water
1 egg, well beaten
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 banana, sliced
1 cup light cream or half and half
Combine rhubarb, sugar and water. Bring to a boil; cover and cook slowly
until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Mix cream with egg. slowly add
rhubarb and cream. Pour in refrigerator tray and freeze until congealed.
Remove and beat, return to tray and freeze until firm.

*Comment - Although I like rhubarb and I like bananas, the thought of them together just does not appeal. I also don't like the thought of rhubarb in ice cream. The recipe itself is a bit hard to understand. Where's the lemon juice and what happened to the bananas? I mean, do you put them on the ice cream or in it? As for the thought of congealed ice cream, blech!
JOKE RECIPES
Hippopotamus Stew
1 hippopotamus
2 rabbits (optional)
brown gravy (lots)
salt and pepper to taste
Cut hippopotamus into small bite-size pieces. Be sure to use a sharp knife.
This should take no longer than two months. Add enough brown gravy to cover.
Cook over kerosene fire for about four weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve
3,800 people. If more are expected, more rabbits may be added, but do this only
when necessary as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
