I can't believe that Pop Turds still exist.

From the home of the "deep fried Mars bar", and sounds even more revolting

I discovered deep fried camembert with strawberry jam in Denmark. However, I only discovered it on the menu because it is not really something that I would tend to order.

This Hot Dog Crust Pizza is strangely appealing to me. They could have chosen a better mustard.

I saw the ads for that. But it does not appeal to me at all.

That's the exact same fare served at BC Junior Hockey League games, but with truthiness added.

It's a beer joint in Seattle. There are food trucks outside that they point people towards. I don't think they want people to order their food.

Bloater Paste. Truly the worst name for food ever.

I of course looked it up to discover that it is herring paste. The only down side is that it is made with ungutted herring, so the flavour would not appeal to everybody. But I'm sure I would love it.

Well, it's fast disappearing from stores and will be discontinued, so you better hurry up!

Then there are "special offers", in particular at discount supermarkets. I was in one this week (Maxi, a cheapo banner of the Loblaws empire) and saw a "family pack" of sausages for $4.35 kg (a bit under $2 lb). Yes, they seemed to be mostly fat. I didn't check the ingredients.
In Europe, Lidl and Aldi have some very strange foods on offer (but also surprising deals on acceptable food). I think there are some of those banners in the US now, no?

I don't have a picture but I was reading about the popularity of food on a stick and showing Donald Trump eating a pork chop on a stick.
But I was strangely drawn to fried butter on a stick as being very popular. I wonder whose heart you can rent for that meal?

That is so vile! That trend started way back in the 80s, so you'd think it would have gone away by now. The horrible thing is that maybe there are enough customers who either love the gimmicks or simply don't know any better. I have had dinner served on a pewter charger and iced tea offered in a mason jar as well. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Although, and I blush to admit it, I did have fries served in a mini fry basket and actually thought that was cute. In my defense, they came alongside an excellent burger late at night in an airport restaurant, so I was pretty grateful for everything.

Actually, that may have made them less greasy, so not an abomination. But the stuff in the urinal was really over the top, as was the barbed whire.

Even if I liked pumpkin, I would find this totally disgusting. It certainly fits into this category.

I vote for including *anything* pumpkin pie spiced, except possibly pumpkin pie which is quite nice with rum spiked whipped cream, in this category. I'm seeing pumpkin spiced beers and coffee drinks being pushed as seasonal now. Dear lord.

Nobody ever asks the waiters' opinion about those serving dishes, or about food that is stacked precariously high in the kitchen and expected to stay that way until it reaches the customer, but rarely does. Wonder how they clean that urinal after each use? Disinfectant tablets? The barbed wire would probably turn rusty after a couple of uses... The dog dish was totally appropriate for what was being served in it. My little brother used to call those little hot dogs wrapped in dough "dog dicks" - since then, I have been incapable of even thinking about eating anything that resembles them. The ones with "worms" coming out...whoever served them needs to have children removed from their custody.

Oh for goodness sakes, Lizzy -- obviously it's the elegance of the presentation that partakes of the sophistication inherent in the very word "martini". I particularly like that pumpkin pie leftovers are specified. That means the uneaten scrapings from people's plates, right?

There is never any leftover pumpkin pie at my house.
I do hope that recipe is for more than one person. Six ounces of alcohol and and an entire teaspoon of cinnamon? On top of the spiced rum and the pie filling?
