Disgusting Retro Dinner Party

About six months ago I came up with an awful idea to host a dinner party.  But this wasn't going to be any dinner party; I was going to take it to the next level.  By now, Kevin knows to stay out of my way when I start planning something, and did so again this time.

We had four couples and the dishes did not disappoint.  I had originally planned to have score cards and everyone submit comments, but we were laughing too hard and gagging along the way to take time out to write down reviews.

 Corn Patch Spam Bake- a meaty, corny version of macaroni and cheese.  Not awful.

 Spam Fried Rice.  Again, not awful, just incredibly salty.

Unfortunately, this file was corrupted and was the only picture I took of this beauty.  This is lime  Jell-o with chicken and the bottom layer is sour cream with pears.  Everyone thought this was disgusting.  Except Tom Kanaby.  He liked it.  He had seconds.  This should not be surprising for anyone who knows him. 

This was Kim's dish.  This was particularly special because she actually remembered eating this growing up.  It was just as unpopular in 2016 as it was in the early 80's.  Think tuna salad, but with chipped beef instead.  It's held together with lemon Jell-o and served in squares on a lettuce cup.  We all ate it as a lettuce wrapped item which made it mildly palatable.  I actually had two servings.


 In order to not totally piss off our friends, Kevin made ribs so that something edible could be served alongside the other "delicacies."  We really are lucky these fine folks are still our friends after this event.
