I used organic smooth peanut butter, canola mayonnaise, some curry powder from Singapore and toasted gluten-free bread cut into 2 inch by 1 inch pieces (desparately trying to give this a fighting chance from an ingredient quality perspective).
On second thought, is it just me or does this look like animal droppings?!

As painful as the show is, we got hooked on Worst Cooks last season when that poor man boiled an entire chicken and layered it with sliced cheese.
Even now, when we see whole birds at the market, mom suggests boiling it and filling it with cheese wiz… we usually dissolve into giggles at the meat counter….
I have to admit, I've done seemingly unappetizing things with peanut butter in the kitchen, as well. As for the peanutty, curry-ish spread… you know, it isn't all that different from a peanut satay marinade – although, the green olive garnish does push the envelope a bit.
Here's to bad TV 🙂

Hey, aren't those old recipes a gem?! 😛 I have tons of those after my Gran and no matter how much they gross me out I'm always wiling to try 🙂 Those look funny but with enough alcohol I bet they are delicious 😉 Great post as always!

Ok – this is all grossly fascinating. I was drawn into your story and fascinated with your cable television review of shows available to watch. I still haven't gotten over Worst Cooks In America. I would be watching it with my hands over my eyes (almost!) You have confirmed my decision that I made years ago not to subscribe to cable television. -haha- Of course my children think they are the only children in America deprived of cable tv!
Great post. I do love reading your blog! Happy New Year!!

HAHA!!! I love this post and the story and the recipe (most importantly). But then I adore all the recipes from the 50'. You rock and big kudos to you for stepping outside the box! Happy New Year darling!!

Great post. . . I've been sucked into Animal Hoarders a couple of times. (How can they DO that?) But your picture sure makes those little snacks look a lot better than I would have thought after the reading the ingredient list!

What a fun post! I don't think I could bear most of those shows, but I did watch Worst Cooks last season. Couldn't do it again this year. I didn't eat toilet paper, but maybe they could do a show on me anyway. When I was a kid I used to each the stick as well as the lollipop!

Hi Elisabeth! You know I think maybe we all know more people than we think who are afflicted with these conditions. I would only hope, and will extend this as an invitation amongst bloggy friends, that if I ever begin to post recipes that contain abrasive cleanser or reveling in how much I love sleeping with my blow dryer DESPITE the mysterious burns I woke up with, you'd stage a cyber-intervention. Please.
Thank you for your comment on the vintage delight. As I commented to Roxan it was not until I finally decided my photo was as good as I could get that I looked at it and thought maybe it looked horrid….I wasn't sure! Off to check your site now!

Hi Gals,
Thanks for the comments. I probably should have said I was kidnapped, held at gunpoint and forced to watch the embarrassing number of hours I watched but I will admit I was morbidly curious having not realized so many of these predicaments exist. I also am intrigued about why so many of these TV shows are on. Are these behaviors on the rise? Why do people want to see them? My worst personal fear would be to BE on a TV show so I cannot imagine sharing I eat toilet paper but I suppose if it helps others it's good.
Roxan; thanks for the generous comment on the 'hor d'oeuvre'. It should have been a clue how ridiculously long it took me to get a photo providing any semblance of interesting. It was not until I posted said photo that it struck me how unappetizing it looked! I found it so funny I just had to make it.

Toni-About the only of those shows I watched is the Hoarders. My friend claims her brother, who is a well respected Washington DC government worker, is just like one of those people on T.V. and she contacted the show to help him…so “ironic” but true! (from what she claims)
Love your humor about the old fashioned Hor D'Deuvre, and actually think your version is not only presentable, but would work as a cute little appetizer, and snack. I love the combination of the flavors…seriously!
Check out my blog for my take on the peanut butter&jam crepes, and a $50 gift certificate giveaway!
Loved you post!!!

Great post. I've never watched any of those shows, but hear people talking about them. I found odd appetizer recipes in my mom's stash and sadly think they've been thrown out. And LOL, there are times that I've wanted to post some of my blog photos with that same comment, or “what the dog thew up”.
Roxan says
I love Intervention! But I can't watch hoarders. I thought it would be good like Intervention but it just plain freaks me out. It's so sad…
I think you did a good job with these hors doeurves, they don't look like animal droppings to me. I'd still eat them 😉
