Never apologize for asking questions, **Celyn,** it’s why we’re here. 🙂 “Cheese in a can” a.k.a. aerosol cheese, squirt cheese, EZEE-Cheese, where you hold the little can upside-down and squirt it on crackers. That’s the link that **Porcupine** gives in his OP, the thread talking about aerosol cheese. And it actually probably outsells Cheez-Whiz and Velveeta, being an essential snack item usually stocked at eye level right next to the chips, whereas Cheez-Whiz and Velveeta are usually hidden and you have to walk around the store and look for them. And before I get totally sidetracked on this hijack, my nomination for Most Annoying Party Food would be Drippy Dip, where you ladle it out onto your party plate and it immediately spreads out instead of staying in a nice scoopable mound. I hate that. ---

To really surprise your guests announce that because so-and-so is a recovering alcoholic, the party is completely dry. Watch the guests’ faces immediately drop as they supress a look of horror. Then you can see the wheels turning as they think of reasons why they can only stay for 30 minutes. ---

**Duck Duck Goose** , I’m not a he. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Welcome back, BTW. 🙂 **Nym** , I was wracking my brain trying to think of the right name. _ **Easy Cheese**. Cuz slicing real cheese is much too difficult._ ---

I would have suggested a bowl of fried chitterlings, but I did that once and the bowl got cleaned out quickly. And I didn’t eat them all! ---

Thanks, **Duck Duck Goose** and **Porcupine**. Actually, the aerosol cheese sounds silly enough to be worth a try. I could spray it on the cat, for instance, thus keeping cat busy while humans enjoyed (or not) the party. I’m surprised that no-one has mentioned celery yet. It’s so damned useless, not to mention nasty. ---

**Nym** , I like celery, too. As long as there is spinach dip to go with it. I also \ like goat cheese. Not by itself, but in a salad or with bread and a nice marinara. What is that nasty stuff I see in German delicatessans - it’s some kind of mystery organs suspended in clear gelatin and then extruded into some type of casing. ::shudder:: But this same store has the best prices and biggest variet of Lindt chocolate. I must walk past the deli section and see the many varieties of gelatin organ sausage to get to the Lindt. ---

Aerosol cheese! Kidney pie. Homemade “Chex Mix” with Rice Krispies and paprika Sauerkraut juice Pickled cauliflower. During my sexond year at uni, the four other guys I was living with and I had a tradition of making the 5 grossest shots possible for the birthday boy. The winner was equal parts Bailey’s, Valpollicella wine, coffee cream and Tabasco sauce… left on the radiator to curdle for a day. ---

During my childhood in Wisconsin, a crystal dish piled high with lutefisk would be placed on the sideboard at each holiday gathering. Some of my family members would venture to touch the stuff, but I never could get it down my throat successfully-- even on a dare from my big brother. If I wanted to annoy _my_ party guests, I’d place lutefisk on crackers, and disguise it with pretty garnishes, then secretly film my guests facial expressions as they first encounter that scrumptious lye and brine taste. ---

No one ate any. I ate a LOT of salad that week. Robin ---

Hey cooked sushi can be great. A friend of mine owns a Japanese resturant. He makes up little sushis, dips them in tempura batter and deep frys them. Served up with Japanese mayo and a bit of Teriyaki Sauce they are the best. I always order them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dr\_Paprika \* > \*\* > > Sauerkraut juice > > \*\* Oh god. Please don’t mention this. I just watched my father drink a jar of saurkraut juice not 15 minutes ago. It made me ill (another of his favorites: taost with cheez whiz and mustard, folowed by a red-eye (beer and tomato juice) for breakfast. Urrp.) How about a nice heaping plate of alaskan black cod to appease the appitites of your party guests? I know from personal experience that even the smell of this stuff cooking gives me a migrane headache. I shudder to think about actually eating it. ---

Forgive that double post, but I just though of something else that would go over like a lead balloon. A nice bowl of uncooked Kraft dinner. Mix the cheese sauce butter and milk together and serve raw. Guaranteed to make you a social outcast. ---

Harumph! Anybody can serve icky stuff! For real annoyance (and possible 2nd degree burns) plop cocktail weenies in a crock pot, douse w/ bottle bbq sauce and turn on “high”. Serve _without_ toothpicks, forks or napkins. Smells great, especially to the happy and/or inebriated. The bbq sauce turns to bubbling lava. It’s a variation of “bobbing for doughnuts”. (DON’T, ferheavensake, do this!)
