Culinary Atrocities - Crimes against food

[Armchair Psychologist]

First up on the list is the ever present, always hated item of family gatherings: Tuna Casserole. Not only does this item make the cut due to its' foul taste and pasty texture, but also because of its utter ubiquitousness in modern american cookery. The most distinguishing feature of this meal is it's salt content originating from the topping of potato chips and the tuna itself. Inevitably, the salt in the chips draws the moisture content of the fish and noodles; leaving you with soggy chips, dry fish, and a bland paste of noodles and peas in the middle.

The world of 1950's and 1960's cookbooks is certainly an intriguing one. Every food company was trying to capitalize on the kitchen by incorporating their product into as many dishes as they could, flavor be damned.

Some examples:

I'm pretty sure medium rare chicken is a joke/meme that just happens to sometimes be taken seriously by dipshits similar to how "freebleeding" was a 4chan meme until actual radical feminists took it seriously and started doing it.

I have never had tuna casserole before but any dish made with canned tuna, macaroni, peas and potato chips sounds utterly vile. Top it with whipped cream and crushed Twinkies and you have the quintessential American food.

My mother made peanut butter chicken - twice.

My mother made peanut butter chicken - twice.

She did it wrong if it wasn't at least half-decent. Peanut-crusted chicken is a better idea, though, for murrican style.

Thai recipes with chicken and peanuts are the bomb, though.

But as for atrocities.

I offer the Elvis sandwich, which is peanut butter, bacon and sliced bananas in a grilled sandwich. It is undeniably an atrocity, but I absolutely love it. It should only be done once a year or so, because otherwise you'll end up like Elvis.

It was literally peanut butter slathered on chicken and cooked until it was soupy.

That isn't peanut butter chicken, though. That's just a bad idea.

oh come on, the Elvis sandwich is great. Peanut buttery, salty and savory, sweet and chewy. It's hard to call anything featuring peanut butter and or bacon an atrocity

It's not remotely an atrocity. In fact, I'm going to go make one right now.

I remember seeing a peanut butter and kimchi sandwich a while ago online. I am intrigued but alas nobody here sells kimchi so I would have to make some myself to try it.

I think I mentioned this in another thread but I once made baked chicken breaded with crunch berries. That was not a good decision, it was really soggy and too sweet to be with chicken. Also I ate it with BBQ sauce, that was extra weird.

As a child every week my mother would go on a diet on Monday (which would then be broken by Friday, and on Saturday she would eat 5 tons of chocolate and doritos). From this resulted a lot of completely awful foods from shitty diet cookbooks.
The very worst thing she ever made though was a gloopy slop of sweet potato, carrots, diet coke, low fat tomato powder, Elmlea (vegetable oil with white food colouring. Is sold next to cream, pretending to be cream so people buy it accidentally), and boiled chicken.

I already vomited that up just from the description, even though I never ate it.

Ah yes, a classic amongst suicidal people to lazy to jump.

I remember there was a summer camp I went to back in the day where they fed us cookies, cream, and mandarin oranges. It was supposed to be a dessert thing but was more like cruel and unusual punishment. I think it was made with dehydrated milk, crumbled chips ahoy, and canned oranges. Regardless it made me wretch more than once and it had the consistency and flavor of vomit. That way you never knew if that flavor you were tasting was coming from you or the pig slop they were feeding you. Also you didn't get any extra water until you finished it. One kid actually fainted and had to go home...lucky bastard.

Let me clarify, you're describing one singular dish

A dish that contains chicken, sweet potatoes, carrots, and is covered in a sauce made of tomato powder, oil and diet coke?
