White Trash Appetizers

My stepsister, who is not at all white, brings the same dish to gatherings. Not an appetizer but a dessert. You’ve all seen it. You’ve all gotten toothaches just thinking about taking a bite.

Banana and Nilla Wafer, um, pie? Parfait? Diabetes in a bowl?

Is there really something more “refined” about fish eggs and goose liver than tuna salad and chicken liver? Having more “refined” tastes is easy! Expensive things taste great too. If country folks could afford caviar with their grits every moring, would it lose some of its refinement? :wink:

I could live on these things! The first time I made them was for my fiance on Christmas Eve in 1985. I put the ingredients together and asked him to make a dough out of it while I hopped in the showed. When I came back, he had made the dough and then formed the sausage balls – all four of them were about the size of tennis balls. It was a riot!

I saved one of the weird sandwich threads. I feel another save coming on…

Fried Bread.

Me mammy used to make fried bread that we would eat wit dem beans and ham hocks. Just whip up your favorite bread dough, turn the skillet on hot, toss in a mitt full of lard, then fry that bread up like thick pancakes. Lots of butter required on the finished product. Come on boys, get dem beans!

Cholesterol bombs:

One donzen eggs, hard boiled and peeled
One very large package of Jimmy Dean bulk sausage, any variety

Pack/layer the bulk sausage onto the peeled boiled eggs to make a ball of sausage with the egg in the middle.

Deep fry until the sausage is done.

Drain on paper towels if you want.

Serve with chinese hot mustard.

Umm … ick!! :frowning:
Is that a local specialty? Somehow (thankfully) I’ve missed it.

You people shock me sometimes, you really do. Here I thought I knew y’all, and could trust you, and then a thread about white trash food received fifty-five posts before one single person used the word “fried”?

Really folks, we are collectively slipping. Mmm, fried baloney sandwiches with American cheese and mustard…

And by the way, those little wieners wrapped in biscuit dough and baked are absolutely heavenly.

DAMN! , I am getting hungry

FYI, the grape jelly/mustard sauce for the little smokies is divine. AWESOME. Never tried the beer, though- I’ll pass on that. But do try the jelly/mustard one sometime.

No, just something a friend makes. I’ve never seen it anywhere else, thankfully.
I tried it (a very small piece) the first time I saw it: that will never happen again.

By any chance do you have Scottish ancestors? Sounds a lot like a British appetizer called Scotch Woodcock. I’m not a hard-boiled egg kinda’ guy, but it sounds good though. How about using Bob Evans instead? IMHO his products are a lot better than JD’s. But then, this here stuff ain’t supposed to be haute cuisine.

I had a Scotch egg last week - at a Filipino fast-food place! Very tasty, with a plate of pansit noodles and a little Asian-style sweet hot sauce.

They were a staple dish in Saskatchewan bars back in the 1970s (right next to the pickled eggs), but I don’t know if they’re still popular.

I think you misread her statements…I’m fairly sure she was just teasing you…not being serious. :slight_smile:

*It’s Velveeta vs cheddar
Our Velveeta melts much better
Cheddar’s lumpy, Cheddar’s oily
It dribbles off your plate onto your doily

See Velveeta melt so creamy
It improves your tetrazeeni
When the cookbook calls for cheddar
Make it with Velveeta it cooks better!*
What about one of my favorites-potato chips and Heinz ketchup. Sometimes, when all that’s left in the bag is a bunch of crumbs, I pour them into a bowl, pour ketchup over them, mix and crush, and then eat it with a spoon.

OH oh!!! I remember my friend’s mother would take ramen bricks, crush them up in a pan, add the flavor packet and then drizzle on a bit of oil. Then she’d fry them for a few seconds-and I mean a FEW, those things burn up FAST!!! Then she’d sprinkle them over a salad. Soooooo good.

The next time I’m home by myself, I’m gonna try doing this again, because if my mother saw me, she’d have kittens and start lecturing me about my bad eating habits.

My great aunt Stewart always made these eggs for get togethers. We don’t have Bob Evan’s sausage here in the Pacific Northwest, I wish we did.

Guinastasia, your post about the potato chips and ketchup reminded me of the joys of eating Doritos on a sandwich.

TRIFFLE!!! If it’s what I think it is-pudding, Dream Whip, bananas and nilla wafers-all layered? We used to make that in Girl Scouts! I love that!
(Man, I really have to read the whole thread and start quoting all in one post…sigh)

As for expensive peanut butter, you could buy the all natural kind. This moron would buy it when I worked at a groccery store and brought it back three times to exchange, because the top was all oily and separated. Until someone finally explained to him that you have to mix it together, or something.

One of my favorite snacks-Townhouse or Ritz crackers with mustard and cheddar cheese slices.

Skyline dip- only available for Ohio dopers.

Layer in a pan:
cream cheese
Cincinnati-style chili from a can
shredded cheddar

Bake.

Eat with Fritos.

Soooo good. There is never enough of it to go around.

My mom would make Banana Pudding all the time when I was a kid… me and my sister loved it!

Try 'Nilla Wafers spread with a little creamy Jif. :-d Yum!

And here’s another white trash appetizer:

BBQ Smoked Sausage

  • 1 lb Smoked Sausage (Kielbasa or similar)
  • 1 12 oz jar BBQ Sauce (a sweet, smoky brand)
  • nonstick skillet (the nonstick part is important!)

Slice smoked sausage diagonally to make oval slices 3/8" thick. Brown sliced sausage in nonstick skillet over high heat. Add entire jar of BBQ sauce, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer over very low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until BBQ sauce has reduced to a thick gooey coating on the sausage slices. Insert toothpicks into slices. Serve with crackers, brown mustard, and mild cheddar or monterey jack cubes.

Serves 6 as appetizer or 2 for entree.

Do peanut butter and chocolate chip sandwhiches count as White Trash?
