[barfs nostalgically] just like i remember! it was so fun to see grandpa's recipe uh, come to life again, but im glad you ate it instead of me.
life is meaningless, so eat whatever + apparently everyone ate it and didn't say anything + you dont have to understand everything in life to enjoy it = the spirit of midwestern food. i love that weird shit so much.
THANK YOU for standing up for iceberg lettuce. It's been so poorly maligned the past few years. The iceberg fans of the world need a protector like Dannis Ree.
amazing. The comments on Dakota Pharmgirl's recipe show that there's a wild variation in recipes, but it sounds like this was originally of German origin and used as a cheap, easy-to-prepare meal by German immigrants to the northern Midwest, since making a couple pancakes meant you didn't have to slave over the stove for long. One comment describes the kids eating it with syrup drizzled on top like you did, but the adults eating it topped with stewed tomatoes or creamed potatoes. this is absolutely wild and I think your newsletter actually taught me something???
Sweet, soft croutons; bland but sour dressing, lettuce, pork and syrup... I should have known from the moment I read the recipe this was catnip for Dannis!
Packaged pancake mix is also an absolute salt bomb, so you’re really batting 2-for-2 here.
Pork bung is bad, but you KNOW it’s bad (and is too, ah, flavored to be used as fake calamari, according to A Podcast I Listened To). This stirum dish sounds like someone took something awful and made it worse because they LIKED it. Gross.
I don't know, I kinda want to try stirum. Make sure the Spam is crispy and probably cut the mayo but cold iceberg lettuce would save the day. Maybe scrapple instead of Spam....I'd have to hide in the closet to eat it because the rest of the family would think I finally lost it for good.
this dish is something i literally cannot conjure the taste of in my head. I have never tasted spam, nor do I have any strong memories about the taste of pancakes or mayo. at least it looks like a dumpster fire; thoughts and prayers for your toilet.

Rather you than me!
Laughed so hard reading this I managed to keep an empty seat next to me on the bus all the way home, so thanks for that. :)

Absolutely awesome post, one of the worst ever. Thank you so much for eating this so that we don't have to!
Well I guess I'll just have to bookmark this as something to make with whatever is left in the can after attempting Spookies.

Oh my god, what will Dannida serve at their reception?!
