21 Truly Upsetting Vintage Recipes

Haha...some of them look good before you find out what they are.

It reminds me of a recipe book I saw somewhere when I was a kid. Revolting!
 
I saw this on FB. It's absolutely disgusting. Like I said on FB, sometimes I see omni recipes and think "Oh this would be so good veganized." This is not one of those times.

I'm glad I never had to experience any recipes like this. I'm suddenly grateful I didn't grow up in a family that was experimental when it came to cooking and cook books were non existent.

I am reminded of this web page with Weight Watchers recipe cards, circa 1974.

Though I'm disappointed they don't include my personal favorite, the crown roast of frankfurters:

I have a 1989 vegetarian cookbook and some of the recipes look a little like this :) . All vegetarian though. But the same liking of shiny loafs and weird salads.

Spam and lima beans? That had to be an end-of-the-month-cupboard-is-bare invention of desperation. "Let's take the two least-popular foods on the planet and combine them in one dish!"
