8. Angry Chicken
When any couple has a falling out (let alone the most famous musical duo of their generation) what to serve? From Genius Kitchen comes this recipe that uses a Cajun spice blend to give it an “angry” flavor. This is a quick and easy recipe to knock out.
7. Pissed Off Potatoes
This recipe is from Southern Kitchen and here uses Thai flavors to simulate rage. While the options of sambal (more faithful to the original recipe) or Sriracha are given, I’d suggest the latter when cooking and the former when adding to already cooked dishes.
6. Drunken Noodles
Usually the word “drunken” in front of a food denotes the use of red wine. Here however this recipe from Epicurious uses it to mean what you need to drink to combat the hot spiciness of the dish.
5. Sweet and Sour Chicken
A relatively recent dish by Chinese standards, it was introduced by Chinese railroad workers and gold miners to the States in the early 1900s. From the Omnivore’s Cookbook comes this recipe that is a healthy version of sweet and sour chicken – no frying involved!
4. Divorced Eggs Rancheros
This Mexican recipe from the Food Network is a beautiful marriage between an egg breakfast and Mexican flavors. The term “Mexican divorce” used to be a term for Americans who’d travel south of the border where they could more quickly and cheaply annul marriages.
3. Smacked Cucumber Salad
This therapeutic Chinatown kitchen exercise comes to us from the Washington Post. The recipe is quick, easy and a great salty complement to other dishes.
2. Flaming Asshole
Every once in a while a shot is called for to take the edge off of things. This recipe from Bartender 411 can also be made as a cocktail. While I have no idea what “overproof” rum is, I’m guessing that means flammable (a.k.a. 100 proof or higher).
1. Dead Man Meatloaf
From All Recipes comes this recipe that has an AWESOME visual when serving. The knife and ketchup are a mandatory touch and great for Halloween!
