Re: Worst recipe

My dad was a pretty good cook and both he and my mom made beef roasts fairly often - they were always delicious. One time when I was in high school, my dad had cooked a "roast"....and had pre-sliced it. It looked odd to me - not like their normal roast, and the taste was just totally off as was the texture of the meat. It was just awful - the most horrible taste!

I knew it wasn't a beef roast and kept pressing my dad, and he kept saying it was a roast. Finally, my mother broke down and told me - it was beef tongue. I rarely said anything about food because I was always expected to at least try whatever was served, but that tongue did it for me! I told them they could make it any time they wanted, but do not expect me to ever eat it again! LOL - my mother didn't like it either, and my dad never cooked it again!

@SloopJohnB That is one of my favorite episodes. Makes me want pickles every time.

One of the things that sticks out in my mind about bad recipes is a potato salad someone brought to a church event. She was on a diet and wanted to share a fat free potato salad. It tasted like old carpet smells. She offered the huge bowl left over to us if we wanted to bring it home. Thankfully, I could truthfully say we didn't have any room in our fridge. I would never hurt her feelings, she was being so nice, but that stuff was not in any way edible.

@Renata22 Yes, to me that whole show is one of those "they don't make 'em like they used to" things.

@SloopJohnB I totally agree. I used to say what they were going to say as my kids would watch with me. They were amazed. I like to see how many seconds it takes me to guess which episode is playing when I watch on tv. Just love that show.
