Really, there's no point in complaining, you can't stop me, I have tons of these left in my deck.
surly, i just keep thinking they can't get worse. and then they do.

this is awful. seriously disgustingly bad. ycccckkkk.

and i'm first. ;-)
boy, really, that one is the worst yet. eeewwww. looks just a little bit odd, and the ingredients are um, gross. if there was a eewwwwww factor prize, this one would take it.

exactly how many are in the deck?
femme - but there's bacon

luluandphoebe - enough to keep me going for, at least, another couple of months... and I'm looking to see if I can find the rest of the set, I only have 2 of the 10 decks :)
Is this one of those racks that is sunburst gold and sort of looks like a box you'd keep floppy discs in?
My God Surly. I've been seeing these vintage recipe card posts in the feed for a while now and thinking the whole time "Surely she's making this shit up." Now I come and see it's all too real; the only thing that could be worse than that picture is actually eating some "Frankfurter Crown."
tequilaanddonuts - I wish... I just have the cards in an envelope... if I could find the whole set, pristine in a box, I would dance the happiest jig and buy a full length gingham apron.

nana - I'm good, but I ain't good enough to make this shit up...
Oh! So excited... I did a quick search online and found another packet to order...
This is almost as bad a franks and mac that showed up at a potluck at my house one time. The "chef" thought she was bringing a treat for everyone. Those under 8 loved it!
Rated for surly comment :)
This is just wrong!! (although as a child I used to make a dish that involved frankfurters, canned pork & beans & slabs of Velveeta...). Being a vegetarian, I will have to skip the Frankfurter Crown & go directly to the cole slaw & rhubarb pie.
Almost as tacky as "pigs in a blanket." Love it.
Is there on with Spam in its ingredients? I am hopeful. (Rated)!
spam, spam, spam! I vote for the spam dish next!
rated.
(i just LOVE spam!)
Oh hell yes! Bring them on. It's like food porn and it's hot, hot hot!

I can't even think of eating this stuff, so I ain't gettin' no dates, here.
Wow, I felt my arteries clogging as I read this.
You. Are. Killing. Me! I bet you eat this stuff, don't you? Don't you?
Even bacon can't save this Surly!
Have you considered hosting a 70s party and serving some of this, ahem, food? What a hoot! I'd love to see pix of a 21st century version of one of these beauties, but who would be so bold?
PS - Have you seen this? Fish heads poking out of a pie crust - looks like the frankfurter crown has some competition! ;-)

Mmmm, just when I was thinking I was out of breakfast ideas...
I will give it points for creativity. That is all.
Ah! Hot Doggie! Poison for the Kings! I love hot dogs. Don't tell anybody, K?
I haven't seen anything like this! Just think, it probably does't cost much to make if the main ingredients are hotdogs!
Kate and Debbs - SPAM? Really? Ladies, let's try and show a little class.

cartouche - at some point I will make one of these and I will do a Surly vs. The Seventies a la Jodi Kasten post... but I need time to prepare mentally.

Bob - fish heads? I think not!

Owl_Says_Who - I will take points where I can get 'em.

The rest of y'all just you wait for next week... just you wait... it's gonna be a regal one! (and that's a hint)
Ugh. Yes, it keeps getting worse & worse. And the suggestion of cole slaw with that? Totally gross.
However, a "Surly vs. the 70's" cook-off would be awesome!
Maybe you could rename it King of the Dickheads. Just sayin. (And btw, I lurve pigs in the blanket).
I pity the poor saps who actually ate this swill...
spotted... if I can find something particularly heinous... perhaps I can challenge Jodi AND Martha to a duel ;)

Sally... that is truly an inspired title... and pigs in a blanket are the best! I'm forever whipping up variations of those for my hubby... God bless Pillsbury rolls!

AshKW - I'm dying to meet someone whose mother fed this this stuff... but I have a sneaking suspicion not many of them survived.
They're so... shiny and bulbous. Keep the atrocities comin' Surly!! I love these!! (I'm a big fan of James Lileks for forever!)
Oh sweet jesus. what have you done?

Surly, I think the Pirate Wimmen can use this to disorient the men later tonight. Please prepare extra FRankfurter Crowns. (I cannot believe I am saying that)
Good thing I buy frankfurters in bulk General Brady!
Wow, a pork explosion. They sure knew how to eat on the edge in the 70's...arteries be damned!
Did you say.....RHUBARB PIE???? Please post that recipe!

And, I'm going to a gathering of women tomorrow nite - the suggestion for food was 'bring something you'd bring for a tailgate party.' Of course I've never been to a tailgate party, but the "Frankfurter Crown" would most likely fill the bill! I'm not sure I can make myself cook it, tho.

Rated for something Cher probly made in the movie, "Mermaids."
