The steak puddings looked good.
Not sure about the banana penis though.

The ham/banana thing looks quite tasty
In fact, apart from the tuna jelly, which I'd have to think about, and the banana knob thing I reckon I'd eat pretty much all that stuff and probably enjoy it.

This was a futuristic looking motel built in Wisconsin in the late 60's (I think a lot of chemicals were involved) with theme rooms etc. The link I provided is a sarcastic review of the motel with actual descriptions from the brochures of the motel. Unfortunately, the place is no more...you just can't create that kind of kitsch anymore.
