Be Thankful None of THESE foods are on your Thanksgiving Table
These products are REAL!
Be glad none of them will be on your table today!


8. Meeter's Kraut Juice (Stokely USA): Yes, that's sauerkraut juice,
which is even worse than it sounds. The taste and smell can be a bit, well,
harsh, but KJ is reputed by its fans to have certain medicinal benefits (as a
source of vitamin C, cure for intestinal bugs, etc.), which adds up to a
classic case of the cure being worse than the disease.

7. Guycan Corned Mutton with Juices Added (Bedessee Imports): The best thing
about this Uruguayan canned good is the very pouty-looking sheep on the
package label -- he seems to be saying, "Go on, eat me already." The
second-best thing is the presence of both "cooked mutton" and "mutton" in
the ingredients listing, which would seem to have all the mutton bases
covered.

6. Armour Pork Brains in Milk Gravy (Dial Corp.): If you're really looking
to clog up those arteries in a hurry, you'll be pleased to learn that a
single serving of pork brains has 1,170 percent of our recommended daily
cholesterol intake. All the more ingenious, then, that the label on this
product helpfully features a recipe for brains and scrambled eggs.

5. Sweet Sue Canned Whole Chicken (Sweet Sue Kitchens, Inc.): From its size
(think growth-impaired Cornish hen) to its overall appearance (it's stewed
in a quivering mass of aspic goop), this product may change forever your
idea of what constitutes a chicken. Gives new meaning to the old line about
meat "falling off the bone."

3. 8. Meeter's Kraut Juice (Stokely USA) Nothing Wrong with this!
Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 09:42 AM by StClone
Well maybe there is, as I've never tried this brand. Homemade kraut juice is delicious cold though it takes a refined palate to enjoy.

More for me then you Barbarians!

4. Next on the list were Blind Robins.
We used to make bets in the bar to get someone to eat one.

One night (A hot summer night in August) 2 barmaids played a joke on me and put a bunch of them under my front seat. The nest day, saying the car stunk would be an understatement.

I retaliated by dropping one down their shirts (backside)and smearing it. One had a hot date that night, went home and took 2 showers and couldn't get rid of the smell.

She later became a cop, and I really avoided her then.

5. WOW!! Thanks for the laugh.
I've had kraut juice, not any worse than grapefruit.

I love pig brains and scrambled eggs! I have a package of brains in my freezer. Never realized about the cholesterol.

My first factory job at Swift Co. was stuffing those whole chickens in the cans. You have to fold the legs just right and push. I actually enjoyed it. I suppose it's all automated now.

6. I have seen
canned whole chickens in the grocery store. I marvel every time and point the can out to my husband.

Canned. Whole. Chicken.

I have never been brave enough actually to buy one and look inside the can. I think that might cross a line I don't want to cross...
