Labskaus in Hamburg is a sight to behold.  It is brine cured beef, beets, herring, pickles and other stuff pureed to the consistency of baby food, cooked and served with a fried egg and strips of herring.  I've had it - and it tastes worse than it looks.

hmm... that actually looks pretty good.
 
As long as I had some salt/pepper/peice of buttered toast and mayhaps some spicy ketchup/steak sauce.
 
And just to be gross (but I lurves it with eggs and breaky meats) some peanut butter for the toast.
 
No... not sugarless organic shiz...
 
Good ole confectionary sugar laden "Kraft/Jif/etc" PB.
 
Sweet and salty (and nutty) yo!

Creamed Corn.
 
Nasty stuff that.

Mix creamed corn with tuna fish. you'll be surprised how good it is.

When I was somewhat young  I went up to Martha's Vineyard w a friend of mine .
We went up there to party , go to bonfires and do a few of the nude beaches .It was all fun like what you see when young people go on Spring Break .
We had gotten invited to a real large party . The price of admission for the party was BYOB w a little extra for others and bring a few buckets of freshly harvested steamer clams off the beach ...
 
The people hosting the party were going to cook all the clams and food .
 
Being a N.Y.City boy , I had no idea you could walk along the beach w a bucket and pic up New England steamer clams by scooping them in with your hand after a little digging  . They sure were easy to find because you could see a little breath type of hole in the wet sand  .
 
Anyway these guys sure tasted good .....but I did have a hard time with the look ...
 

Let me just put it this way , I stopped going nude at  the nude beaches one I realized the clams on the beach were packing some serious Biological Hardware 
 
Gee , I wonder if this clam gave the girl the engagement she is wearing

I was not a fan of creamed corn until I had one of these and realized the caramelimification properties of cream corn...

This is a weird dish but Oh to the Ehm to teh G-whillickers is it tasty.
 
That was the first recipe that popped up (and had a bunch of historical stuff on the dish to boot) but I used to buy those from a little hole in the wall restaurant in my old hood.
 
Much yum.
 
Epic mouse feelz.
 

 

hmm...
 
Pastel de Chodo is a rather unfortunate name however but don't let that deter you.
 
edit: Back to the "I CAN READING" bit... it seems that's actually "Choclo".
 
It's possible I may need a new prescription for my glasses.
 
Ya... that's the ticket.

I used to enjoy  Soul Food cuisine every once in a while ...
The one dish that separates the men from the boys is a dish called Chitlins 
Let me put it this way , stick to playing POP and Rock on your guitar if you never ate Chitlins ..
Chitlins is the secret Mojo that gives Blues, Funk and Soul Guitar Players their Edge

 
If you ever decide to try Chitlins out ....Be Afraid & I mean very Afraid
I ate it once over 40 years ago and not once more ever since .
The good news is the house where it was cooked has probably finally aired out by now ...

Truly disgusting stuff. 
 
Taking a look through any 60's or 70's recipe book will bring you a whole world of unappetizing looking crap. I remember cook books with horrors like this when I was a kid.
