    It’s pretty hard to pick the most disgusting recipe from this list but if you force me to choose I suppose it would be the Hot Dog Casserole. However, the Polynesian Ham Loaf sounds pretty revolting too. What were people thinking in the 70’s?!

    They weren’t thinking, they were stoned.

    I think “loaf” is gross when it involves any ingredients other than yeast and flour.
