Peanut Butter Meatloaf
| Origin | Winter Camp XXXIX (2015) |
| The Story | Peanut Butter Meatloaf was part of the Scavenged Meal at WInter Camp XXXIX. The whole thing was inspired by Lynda Donohue during a hospital stay. As she was eating her dinner, the mashed potatoes were sliding over into her brownie. When Kristie Donohue called her attention to it, she said "I like them that way" and that was it. Except Steve was inspired by that weird combination during planning for the Jurassic Park theme. He remembered the scene in the movie where they have to eat all sorts of gourmet foods since they are spoiling anyways and combined that with his mom's love of mashed brownies to come up with the idea of a meal with some mismatched components. Chocolate chip mashed potatoes were a straight homage to his mom; cinnamon peas seemed like an easy choice, and the final item, peanut butter meatloaf was just a random thought. When he started looking for recipes, there were literally dozens to choose from as peanut butter meatloaf is apparently popular with vegetarians. He picked one that was highly rated and the die was csst. The recipe was followed carefully and the meatloaf made its debut at dinner that night. It was absolutely the worst part of the meal and probably ranks as one of the top ten worst items ever served. Most of the meatloaf wound up in the trash with few campers finishing their initial serving and on one asking for seconds. |
| Veracity | True, especially for the part where Mrs. Donohue the elder is blamed. |
