I had never heard of such a thing until I married Gary and now I must agree with you! I absolutely refuse to make them for him, he can go visit his Mom if he really wants them!

Good lord, MS- at least seven of those culinary perversions were on my mom's list as well. Was your mom from Nebraska? I might have to get around to posting some of my In-Law's recipes- they are Danish/Scottish/Swedish, and not too terribly discriminating when it comes to defining what's edible.
