Laura Petrie's famous avocado peanut butter dip recipe

[Rev. Rye]

I'm sure I can find some of Frank Gannon's recipes from Dragnet, and we can turn this into a "Insane and Barely Edible Recipes from Ancient TV" thread.

Okay, it looks like Badge714 has gathered two of Bill's most famous recipes:

Bill’s Garlic Nut-Butter Sandwich (from "The Weekend", one of the notorious "Bill and Joe spend a night at home not really fighting crime until it randomly intervenes into the plot" episodes)
1. Take two slices of pumpernickel bread.
2. Spread one with your preferred variety of peanut butter.
3. Spread one with cream cheese.
4. Crush garlic cloves over the cream cheese side, allowing juice to drip into cream cheese (to taste).
5. Join slices into sandwich form, cut into quarters and enjoy!

Note: Joe Friday refused it, but here's a fan trying it:




Bill’s Secret Barbecue Sauce (From "The Big High", the infamous "pot kills" episode)
Bill says “Use it on lamb and you’ll never know it’s lamb!”

Ingredients:
1 qt. ketchup
1 can red pepper
1 can hot mustard
1 qt. vinegar
1 lb. peeled red peppers, freshly chopped
1 small jar of oregano
4-5 cloves of garlic

1. Mix ingredients in a large, chilled bowl using an electric mixer.
2. Add 5 chopped Bermuda onions.
(Now here comes the secret part…)
3. Add one quart vanilla ice cream and mix again.





That said, I've seen the series through three or four times, and these are the two I remember. There many be other instances, or I may just be remembering him name-dropping certain bizarre combinations (like Chili and cupcakes; or peanut butter, pastrami, and pickles) exotic ingredients (like quail's eggs, or that one time he brought his tackle-box-cum-lunchbox into work and revealed more strange ingredients)
