I love hors-d'oeuvres...and yet some are the wackiest, most unexpected...
and I must go home with the recipe!
Ok, mine, someone brought, absolutely delicious....Potato Chips!
Spread out on a pan with melted cheese over them!
(Any kind, even blue cheese, this was Swiss.)
Yum, so fattening.

A long time ago I was invited someplace and asked to bring an appetizer. I was in my 20s and while a decent cook, I didn't want to do anything elaborate to take away from the hostess. So I threw a smoked kielbasa with some stone ground mustard on it into puff pastry with an egg wash, baked the thing and brought that. Four ingredients. No real brains or creativity involved.
If you ever watched Hollywoodland, with the story of how George Reeves resented becoming Superman because he was typecast as a kiddies star for eternity, well, that's kind of how this went for me.
I get there and people are raving over this stupid pig-in-blanket-on-steroids. "What's the recipe?" "What brand of this/that/and the other thing did I use?" "What's an egg wash?" "Oh, would you make this for Super Bowl?" "Oh, my sister/in-laws/office would LOVE this!!!!"
For several years I was associated with this dumb thing and nobody wanted me to make anything else, despite my protests.
I then realized that this is why crappy chains will always win out over creative, thoughtful, cuisine.
Devils on Horseback - wrap a prune or a date with bacon, secure with a toothpick, cook in the oven.
Angels on Horseback - wrap an oyster with bacon, secure with a toothpick, bake in oven.
There are variations where you stuff the prune/date with cheese, an almond, etc. There are also variations of Angels on Horseback where scallops, shrimp, etc. are added.

Omigosh we posted at the same time...don't get offended by mine! lol
Best one that was crazy but worked? Grape jelly glazed meatballs. I don't know how she made them but the title card had the words Grape Jelly.
I have to think that was something out of Betty Crocker in the early 60s. I remember seeing that very often when growing up in CT, from the time I was a kid well into my 20s. Seemed lots of folks had that recipe.

It seems common around here in the South. Before moving here though, I never heard of it before. Still think it's a wacky recipe. (but good)
Loved that!....wrap in bacon stick in oven!
About anything!! Too funny.
To die for...you crave it in the morning! Yet, may not 'sound' good...
EVOO and tons of chopped/minced fresh garlic, low heat.
Pobably salt and fr gr black pepper to taste, been awhile...
Blended 2-3 cans navy beans
tons of blue cheese
Melt all together and stir...over heat, bake or small crockpot is great.
Serve as a warmed dip...bread is best bec it is thick.
Sskink....one of funniest posts ever!!!
All they want outta me is my garlicky pulled pork, they sit in the
corner whispering at every party...young and old...they dream about it.
Worse one (sorry not trying to be offensive) was blue cheese stuffed prunes.

they are real easy.. 2 12oz jars of heinz chili sauce 1 32oz jar grape jelly.
make and cook meatballs, or buy frozen ones. Throw them in a crock pot for 2-3 hrs with the above ingredients. Sometimes I will add cornstarch afterwards to thicken the sauce up.
