I have no idea what this actually tastes like but the arts and crafts aspects of it are spectacular and dips in general tower high on the Kitsch Top 10 of conversation sparking party foods.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, aKitschionado <a href=\"http:\/\/www.awmok.com\/author\/KitschyNessa\/\">Nessa<\/a>, for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.awmok.com\/2010\/03\/13\/drunken-cucumber-man\/\">submitting this gem<\/a> to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.awmok.com\">Allee Willis Museum Of Kitsch at awmok.com<\/a>!   According to Nessa, &#8220;This was on the buffet at a church dinner my mom talked me into going to  with her. There were little nuns in full habits spreading this  stuff on toast.&#8221;&nbsp; Nuns presenting a dip featuring anything drunk is excellence in Kitsch no matter how you dole it out.<\/p>\n<p>I love  food art anyway but there are several outstanding features that make me  love Drunken Cucumber Man more than anything:<br \/>\n\u2022 Of course, the fact that he\u2019s drunk and is served at a church smorgasbord.<br \/>\n\u2022 The fact that the arms aren\u2019t attached to the shoulders and the way the shoulders are attached to the torso is so much larger  than the little skinny arms that should be attached to that.<br \/>\n\u2022 The fact that the dip is \u201csome sort of fruity stuff\u201d.<br \/>\n\u2022 LOVE the bottle but couldn\u2019t they have attached it to his hand?<br \/>\n\u2022 LOVE the pimento tongue.<br \/>\n\u2022 Skinny Legs and All<br \/>\n\u2022 Love the inside of the cucumber as a hat texture.<\/p>\n<p>If the nun who cooked this lived in LA I\u2019d invite her to come to my next pot luck party. In the  meantime, I\u2019m pretty sure Drunken Cucumber Man dip will be present  one way or the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To any of you having company over today I&#8217;d like to suggest this insane little dip with a sloshed, poorly cut cucumber complete with little olive ring burp bubbles lying in a vat of fruity stuff.
