Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-8?The subtitle says it all! These are user-friendly recipes that call for ordinary and usually nutritious ingredients; the end products taste good but look completely disgusting. The sections include Unappetizers, Septic Salads & Scummy Soups, Main Curses, Filthy Fluids, and Squeamish Sweets. Individual recipes include Boogers-on-a-Stick, Slab o' Scabs, Diaper Dumps Porridge, Veggie Vomit, Puked-Up Potatoes, Cat Litter Casserole, and Blackberry Blackheads. Besides the nasty titles and appearances, some recipes even feature action, e.g., Simple Pimples, cherry tomatoes hollowed out and filled with flavored soft cream cheese, are fun to squeeze, pop, and chow down! While adults' first reactions to Gross Grub will probably be negative, children will snarf it down and beg for seconds. The book also has potential as a Halloween party resource. Those wanting recipes for unusual and creative foods that aren't disgusting-looking might try Arielle Rosin's Pizzas and Punk Potatoes (Ticknor & Fields, 1994). Like Gross Grub, it includes lots of safety tips and simple instructions, but features visually appealing end results.?Joyce Adams Burner, formerly at Spring Hill Middle School, KS

Neatest cookbook I've found for camping with Girl Scouts.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gross Grub (Kidbacks) (Paperback)
A friend of mine let me borrow her cookbook. She has a Girl Scout troop also. We just went camping and what a why to celebrate Halloween! Just the names of the food are enough to gross everyone out--but if you don't think about the names the food is delicous!!!! I just had to get my own copy and now I have a Boy Scout leader hooked and she now has her own copy. Thanks for all the FUN!!!

Creepy Icky Slimy Oozy--Heaven for a seven year old.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gross Grub (Kidbacks) (Paperback)
Having made some of these recipes with my nephew, I can recommend this to anyone with an hour to kill and a willing child. The minimal ingredient & utensil list make the recipes easy. The catchy names and vile descriptions necessitate fixin' up a batch of whatever sounds the grossest. The food is actually not that bad, and considering who will be on the guest list, could be haute cusine. Buy it, make the food, and above all, photograph your masterpieces. Emeril, did you start out this way?
