Inappropriate Muffin
This is a little game I like to play on long car trips or when tipsy. The rules are quite simple: pick some revolting ingredients and design your muffin. Savoury, sweet, cross-over cuisine - it doesn't matter. The only requirement is that it be disgusting. It does have to food, though. No using snot and boot polish - that's too easy. And no human flesh thanks. We're talking inappropriate, not sicko-freak.
And of course, I'm talking about Texas muffins, not the English variety. You know, the sort you get for morning tea and usually contain yummy things like apple and cinnamon or blueberries or raspberry and white chocolate. McDonald's already has copyright on vomitous English muffins with its 'sausage' and egg monstrosity, so there's no point in trying to beat them.
So far some of my favourite combinations have been:
- fritz (that's devon to all you Sydney-siders) and apricot
- anchovy and crystalised pineapple
- liver and onions
- tuna and caramel
- gherkin, mashmallow and poppyseed
- lard
- smoked eel and peanut butter
- sausage and blueberry
- strawberry and Vegemite
- curry and boisenberry
- fish head and Coco Pops
- brussels sprouts and Red Bull
- kidney and peppermint
- tapioca and turnip
- spam and plum jam (served warm)
- cough syrup with crushed aspirin crumble (though this could be helpful if you had the flu)
- baked bean and banana
Come on, hit me with your worst. I'm strong enough to take it.

Kidney and Bacon
Pumpkin and Sweet Potato
Liverwurst and Chocolate Chips
Baked Beans and Mini Frankfurts
Tuna and Sultanas
Chopped Hard-boiled Egg and Smoked Kippers
river, oh yeah with the kidney and bacon & liverwurst and choc chips and tuna & sultanas, but I'd eat pumpkin & sweet potato, and baked bean & mini franks sounds like something I'd put in a jaffle! Smoked kippers are repulsive in themeslves, but they do kind of go with boiled egg. Maybe not in a muffin, though...
Capsicum and slimily-prepared eggplant. Tame, I know, but two of the worst vegetables known to polony-kind.
This reminds me of Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree series, when someone ordered sardine icecream...
Licquorice and onion.
coriander and marmite?
meat paste sandwich spread muffin - it doesn't need anything else to make it totally disgusting
I think tuna and caramel is the showstopper - that's fantastic!
How about schnitzel and vanilla?
lonie, salty slimy eggplant would be every worse, I think. And I adore eggplant.
mr pub, oh that's really nasty! You could flame it before serving with a bit of ouzo.
lg, powdered root or fresh leaves? God, what am I saying. Marmite is enough ~shudder~
rabbit, meat paste is a travesty. Whoever invented it should be hunted down and drowned in a bath full of the stuff along with the inventer of fish paste.
pet, euww! Parmi or mushroom sauce, though?
Anchovy and vegemite.
Or anchovy, vegemite and feta.
Mmm. Tastes saltier than come. Or so I'd imagine.
Lamb & Jelly Babies
Chutney & Peppermint Cream
Caviar & Custard
You know Redcap, this game really wouldn't help those suffering car sickness.
phishez, I guess you might just as well have gone the cum muffin, really ;)
eleanor, euww, caviar and custard! People with car sickness will just have to cope, I'm afraid.
chicken feet and.. um. yuck. just the thought of chicken feet makes me feel weak. i can't go on.
small fry.
meat paste haters of the world unite.
Continuing the theme....
Anchovy and chocolate chip
One of my daughters suggested pickled herrings.
Brains & Tofu would have a delightful texture.
Mmmm. Bra-a-a-i-ins.
Raspberry and spinach?
Lychee and ham?
Redskins with soy sauce and cheese cauliflower.
Dijon mustard and Milo.
Have to say, caviar and custard gets my vote so far... :)
Actually, I think I could nearly survive spam and plum jam. It's not such a long leap from those American favourites turkey and cranberry sauce, peanut butter and jelly.
I think American tastes have a lot to answer for. Maple syrup on the same plate as bacon for breakfast is just the start of the slippery slope, which zooms past Caviar and Custard and chashes into hell with Porcupine Pie and Chicken-Ripple Ice Cream!
small fry, euww-huw-huw-huw! chicken feet! ~rocking and drooling~
gw, mmm, anchovy and choc-chip... Can I get that on pizza?
river, pickled herrings! Genius! Why didn't I think of rollmops or similar?!
eleanor, I think that you may just be the winner, miss. Is that fried tofu or just the squishy silken variety?
harriet, can't... breath... feeling... ill... ~sob~
mike, there's a place at Port Adelaide that serves pancakes with bacon, eggs and other savoury treats. I love savoury treats, but not with maple syrup. It is, of course, filthy and disgusting ~bletch!~
Squishy.
Extra-soft silken.
Goes well with herring-flavoured yoghurt...
Same daughter, tripe and peas.
eleanor, herring-flavoured yoghurt frosting?
river, your daughter was made for this game! That's truly inspired.
Cheese and Custard
Cod and Jam
gherkin and honey. prawn and tinned peach. hmm. they sound pretty tame compared to some of the fish-themed ones, which are truly frightening.
have to say, i have a bit of a taste for the old yank-inspired maple syrup/bacon, peanut butter/jelly combos. i'm getting hungry, in fact...
Tea flavoured muffins with lovely crispy ants
tripe and peas
forget that last one, I forgot I'd already posted it for her.
"pick some revolting ingredients and design your muffin" -- i find that hilarious :)
knifepainter, cod and jam! Eyuck :) I do like your paintings, by the way.
susanna, I go through phases where I eat nothing but peanut butter and jam sandwiches made from multigrain toast for breakfast for weeks. Fluffernutters I just can't come at, though :P
rabbit, hmm, I'm not sure I'm going to pay that one. Are ants strictly food? Honey ant, maybe, but crispy little formic-acid flavoured ants? Harriet and I were debating it today and she suggested ear wax and giraffe poo might be an option. I countered with wig and choc chip, which in turn reminded me of a nasty incident with Petstarr and a suggestion of toenail and arsehole soup. But I digress.
peter, your mission, should you choose to accept it...
ugh, i was going to give it a go, but in the end, I had to let it go cos i was going to hurl.... great creative choices though heeheh
From tonights dinner table, trying to out-repulse each other comes:
Dried apricots, apple pancake, eggs, bacon, and chocolate.
Some of us felt that is might be quite good, though.
ok then, i call my muffin the "rennet surprise" -- bite in to discover sizeable deposits of pure rennet.
further flavour boost could be supplied by seams of aspic woven through the bran base.
Oh, I have nothing. You should all take a bow. I'll grab a bucket.
Thanks for the compliment redcap.
Were you aware that in the U.K. Muffin the Mule is not a criminal offence ?
Peaches and mayonnaise.
(omg, if I ever start a band, I'm going to call it peaches and mayonnaise)
What about mogodon mocha surprise - the flavours and side effects cancel each other out?
Willy Wonka Nerds and Salmon.
I don't think I can top that list until you throw in some cat food and maybe a liver or two.
VOMITS!
I haven't got a 'make up' one but here is one I actually eat. Vegemite, lettuce and Cheese on white bread. I used to eat onion sangas as a little kid...no wonder I had no friends lol
You removed your 'being sick' post? Wow, it must have REALLY been grossing you out. While kidney and bacon muffins don't ... ?
Hope you're feeling better.
repulsive effort, everyone! :)
ariel, no, I took it down because it was yet another example of my whininess. And whininess is so unbecoming.
Ohhhh ... I wouldn't worry about that. It's a blog, we all do it occasionally. And I thought you were whining in quite a charmingly offhand, entirely becoming way.
capers and honey
mince meat and glace cherries
I once made mustard and mixed peel muffins. Alliteratively awful.
-Lived in PNG for 3 years going back aways. The flour always had weavils in it and the houseboy was always scratching his bum whilst preparing food . so we invariably had poo and weavil muffins for breakfast. Tasted OK but didn't smell too good.
ali g, ba ha ha! Poo and weevils! Not strictly food, but hilarious nonetheless. Well, it would have been if you hadn't had to eat it ~looks chastened then has another attack of the snickers~
Baked Bean and Poppy seed
Vinegar and apricot
Sticky date and salmon
Rollmop and cinnamon
Choc chip and capers
You know, couldn't resist, I really do wish you had.
Millymoo - Roolmop AND ANYTHING is revolting.
YUK.
Oops. That should be Rollmop. A glass too many of the Red Ned did that :(
White chocolate and heart
Rabbit and banana
I'd like to thank the makers of cat food for my inspiration regarding dirty meat products :)
DUDE! It's been over a month now, come awwwwwn! Write somethinnnnng!
You know, she says in a tiny humble voice, I don't mind the McDonald's muffins - the sausage McMuffin is quite a good way to start a car trip.
Anyway.
What about soy sauce and clinkers? Or broccoli and mince?
What Petstarr said! The job must be running you ragged, I guess.
Chinese sausage (that indefinable 'meat' in fried rice) and raisins.
Sorry, guys. Blogger's block. When Raoul Duke starts abusing me by text for not posting, things are bad. I'm still here, staring at a blank screen... and,, of course, listening to the world's smallest violin.
