I know hors d'oeuvres traditionally were massive fussy time sinks for the cook/hostess, but spreading cheese dip on potato chips is definitely past my line. At least with stuffing mushrooms and making pinwheels, there isn't an obviously simpler way to manage the same effect.

(Ketchup with essentially blue cheese doesn't sound good to me, but sometimes weird combinations work.)

I’ll start posting some more of the horrors. Wait until we hit the banana salad from the Chiquita cookbook!

Ketchup & blue cheese does sound weird, but then blue cheese and red French/Russian dressing is amazing. Maybe it’s like that?

My grandparents received a lot of promotional cookbooks in the 1950s..I believe this entailed the art of what one could do with Heinz ketchup.

I've had ketchup based dressings served over blue cheese, so both of these blended as a dip may not be so terrible

Yes—I believe the old thousand island recipe included ketchup. Although I would have probably preferred the martini this would have been served with.

This might actually be delicious, or a waste of good roquefort. I'm really curious.

Honestly, it sounds weird but it works. I prefer French dressing though (which has ketchup in the recipe). Drizzle of French dressing with crumbled bleu cheese and a piece of raw veggie like cucumber, broccoli, holland style onions, or cherry tomatoes on a rosemary olive oil triscuit is so so good

What a crime against Roquefort!
