TPC

I would like to try my hand at making a food blog, which seems to be quite the rage these days. Here’s a little recipe that I wiped up when I was somewhere between the ages of six to ten. It is fast, simple, and easy!

Trailer Park Caviar

You Need:
• A box of Crackers
• A fully stocked mouth (lips, tongue, saliva)
• Hands (Three fingers at least. Thumbs are helpful but not required.)

Instructions:
1. Take a cracker and put it in your mouth. My personal favourite crackers for this recipe are ‘Ritz’, ‘Cheese Ritz’ or ‘Saltines’, but get creative!

2. Chew that cracker up good, but don’t overdo it. You want a nice thick paste, not too runny with saliva.

3. Now, take another cracker. You’re going to spit the chewed up first cracker on top of it. Try to spread it out nice and evening with your lips and tongue.

4. Let it set for fifteen seconds. Now it’s chow time. Bon appetite!

Final Notes: This can be a really fun, quick way to spice up your snack food. The same principle can be applied to other foods, such as potato chips. For an additional treat, you can repeat the cycle of chewing and spreading. Each subsequent cracker-covered-cracker can be the ingredient for your next cracker spread. Eventually you’ve got a single cracker covered in four, five, even a dozen crackers worth of delicious Trailer Park Caviar. Give it a try!

Fun Facts: The term ‘Trailer Park Caviar’ was coined by the kids at school who made fun of me for spitting my food out and eating it again.

Pictures coming soon!

Most interesting :) I've seen a lot of kids doing this. I didn't know that's what it was called!

It pains me to think that I might not have been the origin of this recipe. I supose great young minds think alike when they are hungry.
