I bet you say the same thing about spray cheese.
“It’s the only way to get the cats to take a pill!”
-
There is nothing “culinary” about spray cheese.
-
Applied to Club crackers and washed down with semi-cheap beer while watching a ballgame, spray cheese can be quite…adequate.

Why am I being persecuted?!?
Dibs!
Not persecuted. Shunned.
You forgot the can of smoked oysters
I tried to eat a can of kippers yesterday. Every 20 years or so whether I need to or not.
Ended up giving the last half to the cats. They didn’t finish it.
That there is redneck affogatto. I’ve also been accused of ghooshing whipped cream straight from the nozzle. Rightfully. Also, once, aerosol cheese. In my defence, I was drunk on bourbon.
The talk of whipped cream canisters reminded me of a truly shameful (culinary related) practice from when I was a teenager working as a busboy-- I and the other teenage workers would do what we called “whipped creamers”. The propellant in whipped cream canisters was nitrous oxide, so we would inhale the propellant from the upright can for a quick, short-lived buzz (holding the can upright caused the propellant but not the whipped cream to escape). Sometimes we would tip the can upside-down and give ourselves a mouthful of whipped cream while we were at it. I remember the restaurant manager one time complaining about how many defective cans we kept getting that were still mostly full of whipped cream but out of propellant.
Yes, it was stupid. Yes, it involved our mouths coming in direct contact with the nozzles, so was unsanitary. I was like 14 or 15 when I participated-- as I got a little older and graduated to cook, I not only stopped the practice, I adopted a firm rule of not serving any food to anybody that I wouldn’t want someone else to serve to me.
I was reading that during WW2, meat was valuable but American housewives were reluctant to eat organ meats. The meat industry hired a psychologist to see how to persuade people to like them. Although very nutritious, there was the perception this was lower class food of poor taste and texture. By playing up the nutrition angle, about half of people could be persuaded to overcome their stereotypes as long as no one brought up the disadvantages.
I bet the appetizer was good and that you made the “mistake” of divulging the ingredients.
Is there any food that isn’t improved by wrapping it in bacon?
I’m trying to think of something, but all it’s doing is making me want to try wrapping everything in bacon.
Some food degrades bacon so much that the result is not pleasant. I’m thinking of lime Jello with bacon in it.
You do not know until you try.
And I’m thinking bacon wrapped pickles should be a thing.
Deep-fried bacon-wrapped pickles.
Deep-fried bacon-wrapped pickles with whipped cream.
Eh, I mean, still sounds pretty good.
The Gallery of Regrettable Food clearly proves that jello goes with almost anything.
I want fried chicken. There isn’t a fried chicken place near me, and I haven’t done any traveling in forever. 
Been there, done that:
Sounds delicious, but maybe the recipe should be called baked bacon pickles?
