"Serve between slices of corned beef". I've never read anything more wrong in a recipe.

Of course, the black-and-white photo is just begging to be eaten—not!

YES. Exactly how many martinis did the ad men consume who came up with this?

Yes!

Okay, it's the peanut butter that did it for me...

I was going to say the same thing!

However, I don't think this compares to the gelatin monstrosities, so I vote NO on it. And the fact that it isn't in color.

But think about it; black-and-white food always looks grosser than color food—even if it's Technicolor.

No

Maybe I have a ridiculous sense of taste, but I'm actually REALLY curious to try this. I'm a bit fuzzy about the peanutbutter, though.

If it weren't for the corned beef and chili, I'd be interested, too. But those two things are on my Never To Eat list, because I'm super picky, so this won't get tried.

YES

Pork-and-beans, corned beef, peanut butter??? This has "wrong" written all over it for me.

nope

i'd pick off the olives, but i'd give it a try. i don't think the taste of peanut butter would really clash with the rest of those ingredients. of course, the black and white ad really doesn't help make this look great.

It looks like somebody already ate the part between the corned beef slices.
