Hi, Fred - it's good to see you here
again. How have things been going? I
hope you are eating better than those
recipes you sent would indicate.

++++Louisiana Sweet Fish Pie
Serve hot with lime sherbet on the side.

I had my doubts so found this backstory at
Bert Christensen's site -

This is a recipe I received from a very proud
elderly aunt in New Orleans. Her son and
daughter confirm that she actually made this
hideous thing at least a few times each year
for decades. Some family members claim to have
enjoyed it at the time, but that was probably
due to large quantities of my aunt's famous
iced tea made with rum. from John Macdonell

And about the Tuna Twinke Souffle recipe -

The author is Mike Nelson from Minneapolis,
and the title is 'The Worst Cookbook in
America'. He has been searching out the
world's most god-awful recipes for 10 years.

The below is another recipe collected by Bert C.,
but one I think would produce an edible product.
He pointed to another old FIDO poster who wrote
on his Website http://farrowgalleries.com

Long ago before ISP's were the rage, there was FidoNet.
In FidoNet's International Recipes echo (FidoNet
newsgroups were called Echo's), I posted the following
recipe unaware that it would eventually result being
posted years later all over the world.

James' World's Hottest Wings!

Caution: The fumes from preparing this will make it
difficult to breathe! Don't attempt to eat with an ulcer.
Ingredients:
2 Lbs Chicken Wings cut up Buffalo style
6 whole serrano chili peppers
6 whole red chili peppers
10 whole jalapeno peppers
2 cups white wine
1 Bottle Tabasco Sauce
1/2 Bottle Worcestershire sauce
10 Tablespoons Cayenne pepper
10 Tablespoons Durkee red-hot sauce
1 Tablespoon salt
3 Tablespoons pepper
1/2 Cup Vinegar
1 Fire Extinguisher (Optional....)

In a blender, carefully puree the peppers, wine,
vinegar and all spices. Caution, the fumes are deadly
and wear rubber gloves or your fingers will burn! Put
the puree into a bowl and marinate the wings in the
bowl in the fridge for 5 days. After 5 days, carefully
remove the wings and broil them until cooked. Ususally
aprox 15 mins (+/- 5 mins).

Take the marinade, put it on the stove, add 1/4 cup
sugar and heat to a boil. reduce until thick. Pour
over wings and re-broil for about 5 more minutes,
serve with soda water for maximum heat effect but
keep plenty of ice water handy.

I created the above recipe earlier this year at my
house warming, it went over pretty well with those
who could still talk, I guess I shoulda marked the
wing bowl HOT but hey, who's perfect. (p.s. these
were created on a bet over who could make the hottest
wings. I won.)
Enjoy

You can see that the dish will be quite salty; I'd
amend it by removing the Worcestershire, salt, and
vinegar, and substituting a nicer brand than Tabasco or
Frank's for the suggested hot sauces. For additional
heat, one could use a hotter ground pepper and hotter
hot sauces, but anything too hot would substitute effect
for the pleasure that should go with eating. I'm also not
sure what good the wine does and would cut the amount by
quite a lot.
