Funny Names: I Don't Think So Edition

Here's a recipe from Adventures in Food (St. Petersburg Junior College American Dental Hygiene Association, ca. mid-'60s to early '70s) that does not live up to its title.


The "Kinky Breakfast" that "SOUND WIERD [sic] - TASTES GOOD" is not at all kinky. No champagne, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, expanses of bare skin, etc. And it doesn't even sound all that weird. It's just eggs baked on a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with a cheese like "monteray [sic] jack" or whatever. It's like a Midwesterner's idea of shakshuka: swap out the spicy tomatoes for mashed potatoes and melt cheese over the whole thing.

  1. Well, I guess the potato nests with an egg in the middle might look kind of like a breast? Maybe the trick was to serve them in a bra, or in pairs, or the person who wrote this did not know what most people thought the word "kinky" meant...
