Weird Recipe Finds: redneck recipe

I starting laughing when I came across this recipe. It sounds like what a lot of people would call Redneck. Bologna and tater tots as an appetizer. Yes, very Redneck. One of the reasons I thought this was funny was the cookbook I found it in: Famous Brands Great Vegetables Dishes. I really don't consider a Tater Tot a vegetable, but I guess it is a potato product.

Weird Recipe Origins

While persuing my many cookbooks, adverstising booklets and cooking magazines I sometimes come across a recipe where I truely wonder what the originator was thinking. Sometimes they just sound like a terrible combination of ingredients. Other times it is what I call, the ingredient that doesn't belong. This is usually a food company trying to promote the use of their product in an inappropriate recipe. Recipes that might have found favor in past decades are sometimes so out of date they seem weird now.
