Funny Name: Maybe Don't Make It Rhyme Edition

Yes, it's fun to give things rhyming names, like Crunch 'n Munch or Mello Yello, but this recipe from A Matter of Taste (The Heart Federal Savings and Loan, 1979) shows that a rhyme isn't always very appetizing.

At least, I sincerely doubt that I'm the only person who doesn't think "Yum!" when I hear the word "slurry."

  1. I nearly gagged when I saw that it took canned peas with the juice. Just the smell alone is enough to make you gag. Then you have the unnecessary step of making the meat into a patty that you break up, and simmer with canned peas with the juice for half an hour. This is why people thought they didn't like curry.

    1. I will never understand the canned pea obsession. Frozen peas were easy to get by this point, and not too expensive.
