Humorous Recipe

[Enigma3]

I'm wondering if anyone else likes or has a humorous recipe. I'll start. This is adapted from a recipe I saw in a humor book published in the 1920's. Sorry, I cannot remember the title, but I will always remember this recipe.

Banana Surprise

Take one sweet black overripe banana.
Make a slit in the outer tubing.
Gut the banana.
Stuff with steel wool, sew up tightly and serve scar downwards.

There are some out there that weren't *meant* to be funny, but...

These first ones are mostly just unfortunately photographed, but some are horrifying in other ways (Crusty Salmon Shortcakes, anyone?)

Then there's these--as one of them says, "the weirdest food people actually eat!"

I remember my Dad telling me a story about when he and my aunt were kids. My grandmother would make April Fool's Day pancakes- with gauze in them so they couldn't be cut.

Reminds me of a turkey stuffing recipe from my grandmother's recipe box. I was copying it down, not reading ahead.
It calls for one turkey, cleaned and washed
1 lb popcorn
Put popcorn in the cavity of the bird, put it in the oven.....

When it blow the a$$ off the turkey, it's done.

Great recipe! A must try.

That was a perennial featured recipe (with a long, drawn out story) on Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday, that is) in 1970s on the Rambling with Gambling show on WOR-AM New York.

An industrial strength take on the idea of the pop-up timer, heh heh...

My mother and her sisters traded that one, neatly hand-printed on fancy recipe cards, when I was a kid. None of them used words like that very often (!), so it sent them all into gales of giggles. It still makes me grin to think about it.
