Random Retro Riffraff #8: Libby’s Corn and Wiener Roast

Here’s a fun thing to do at dinnertime if you have 8 spare wieners just lying around making you mad. Gash them lengthwise, stuff them with sharp cheese, and smother them in a baking dish of pale regurgitations. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Serve to your worst enemy. [“Sounds like a Game of Thrones subplot,” quoth the love of my life.]

I don’t know. If I were fortunate enough to own an actual can of Libby’s cream-style corn, I doubt I’d profane it by slopping it in a pan and jamming a bunch of gashed wieners in it, but that’s just me. I’m a creamed corn purist at heart, and to be frank, I think history would be littered with far fewer bastardized recipes like “Corn and Wiener Roast” if more people viewed canned goods as their own reward. Didn’t anyone read the marketing copy? This corn is “pedigreed,” for crap’s sake. YOU DO NOT STICK WIENERS IN PEDIGREED CORN.

And now, a challenge. In the comments below, link to a vintage recipe MORE vomitrocious than “Corn and Wiener Roast.” I’ll choose a winner, cook it, photograph it, and post the taste-test results right here. (No weird meats, though. I have my limits, and my dignity.)
