And it can be from any decade from the 1960's-present.I'll start-1)Roast Beef with Honey(Yuck!)on a 1961 ABC Black and White episode of "My Three Sons".No wonder Sudsy Pfeiffer got sick and had a stomach ache.Know of any other weird and ghastly food combinations?Feel free to post.

On an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show, Buddy stays over at the Petrie's for a few days and after a while Rob discusses with Laura his dismay over Buddy's having liver and bananas... EVERY night.. lol I think in a couple episodes in the office, Buddy also mentions liking prune yogurt... that guy sure had some odd tastebuds.. lol ohno:

That's the 1st thing I thought of.

On an episode of Roseanne, Darlene had to make dinner and she mixed spagetti with thousand island dressing.

On Frasier Daphne was always talking about some of the English foods she would eat and they sounded disgusting. Kidney or blood pudding sounded just awful. There are some others that sounded disgusting but once I found out what they were, it wasn't so bad. Bangers are sausages, toad in a hole is basically sausages in Yorkhsire pudding batter with vegetables and gravy, spotted dick is steamed pudding containing dried fruits that is served with custard. The English have terrible names for food.:barf:

There was an episode of the Cosby show when Cliff was making all these exotic foods for dinner. He served soup with cow's tongue in it, he served a soup with sliced turtles feet and once the family found out what it was, they were disgusted. It tasted fine but they changed their minds later on. Theo made a sandwich with onions, mustard and a whole bunch of other stuff on it. He said it was to clean out his system after eating the stuff his father cooked.
The sandwich sounded worse than what Cliff had made. :lol:

Milk and Pepsi was the first thing I thought. I'll add on an episode of the Monkees they were eating (or drinking)root beer soup I believe.

I've had Pepsi and milk, it basically tastes like a Pepsi float, I used to drink it after seeing it on Laverne & Shirley.

Dave Lister's Delicacies from Red Dwarf:

Triple fried egg, chili, chutney sandwich was Dave Lister's cure for hangovers.

Lister's shammi kabab diablo caused one of his friends to spend a week in the medi-bay.

Lister also loves to drink beer shakes.

Gilmore Girls...

EMILY: That is a mashed banana on toast.
LORELAI: OK.
EMILY: I used to make this for you all the time when you were a little girl.
LORELAI: You did?
EMILY: Yes, whenever you got sick I made this.
LORELAI: Are you sure it wasn’t the other way around?
EMILY: You don’t want it.
LORELAI: No, no, I want it.
EMILY: I’ll just take it back to the kitchen
LORELAI: No, Mom, I said I want it.
EMILY: Alright. (pause) You’re not eating.
LORELAI: Mom.
EMILY: Yes?
LORELAI: Please don’t make me eat this.

And,in the first season episode of "The Addams Family"called "Amnesia and the Addams Family",Gomez(John Astin who was great as Gomez ,who had amnesia-lost,regained,lost and finally regaining his memory again-)says to Morticia when she says that they should have his favorite lunch "baked iguana with pine-cone nectar"-and the Amnesiac Gomez sats "How perfectly ghastly!"And then,in a second season episode the so-so episode "Gomez-the Cat Burglar"(John Astin again was good as Gomez,even if the episode was a bit mediocre),he had his father's favorite meal,"Yak stew with glutton bread"-TVLand cut that line out.

Wasn't there an episode of ilove Lucy where she is pregnant and sends Ricky out for pickles and ice cream? I know, that's a cliche. But she then has him put sardines on top and then pour chocolate sauce over that! Does anyone remember if there was a particular ice cream flavor she requested?

Here is a great TV meal:
Spaghetti tacos from iCarly, Bacon Burger Dog from the Cosby Show, The Upside-down Flint Rubble-Bubble Cake from the Flinstones for dessert, and for drinks, milk and Pepsi from Laverne and Shirley for the kids, and the Screaming Viking from Cheers for the adults.

And wash it all down with some of Lisa Douglas' oh -so-sour lemonade with the "kerosene taste",as Eb said in a later episode of "Green Acres")(YUCK!),or some milk from "The Milk Maker"episode of "Green Acres",that tastes like regular milk,has a side effect:It turns people with hair bald.

This is from the same episode where he said at the end "The first time on the job, I think I'm gonna be sick". I can't help but think it was from that barbecue sauce!

That's the one I was going to mention. I don't remember if it was any kind of ice cream in particular.

Sonic has had different peanut butter shakes during their Summer of Shakes. One was just peanut butter, which my daughter, who is a peanut butter fanatic has had and likes. But they also had peanut butter and bacon last year, and peanut butter and jalapeno this year!!! :eek:

I'd guess that something like the bacon burger dog on The Cosby Show has been done somewhere on a show like Man V Food or Diners Drive-ins and Dives, and they probably made it look good!!! :cool:

How about the episode of "Full House" where Michelle made chocolate pudding with cheese and olives?!

puke:puke:puke:puke:puke:

Or what about Tuna and Oreo Ice Cream?!

puke:puke:puke:puke:puke:

There's also an ep about odd concoctions of "Home Improvement" called "Wilson's World"! Here it is...

J7LO9CNC1tk

Broccoloupe, Vruit (V8 Splash has done this now), Cherry Burgers (And yes...there's recipes for it), Root Beer Chicken in Guava Oatmeal Sauce, and Caramel Flounder in a Chocolate Chip Chutney (If it Caramel Onions and Flounder in a Chocolate Mole...that would be more appetizing)!

But that's the majority of that!
