      We kind of had to start from scratch again after a generation of Great Depression cooking was followed by a generation of “It’s in a can and claims to be edible”

    I found a book of 70s Italian recipes and half the dishes were stuff like vegetables encased in a ring of aspic jelly.

    #4 “Frankfurter Pie” isn’t so bad. It’s just sausage and sauerkraut with some bread under it.

      The egg curry is quite tasty. I don’t think their recipe is going to be as good as an Indian version though.

    I think a lot of these are more 50s and 60s war crimes than 80s.

    50s invented Jello Salad war crimes.

      Yeah, most of these sorts of abominations are pushed by big food conglomerates trying to manufacture demand for their shelf-stable hyperprocessed shit by publishing recipes that feature their “convenience foods” as ingredients. (Just look at how many of the recipe images in the list are literally advertisements for Miracle Whip and whatnot!) That sort of thing really resonated with the whole '50s atomic-age modernist thinking crowd.

      (Don’t get me wrong: I think the modernist aesthetic/furniture design/aesthetic is great. Lots of other stuff about it, like the food and the [anti-]urbanism, was an absolute disaster, though.)

    My mother did that shit all the time. I distinctly remember one time she tried to make spaghetti with calamari. She had never cooked squid before so we ended up eating what tasted like tomato sauce covered erasers.

      Hi! Spaghetti con calamari is a very legit italian recipe and very good too.

      It’s only a matter of following the right recipe but in south of Italy pasta&seafood or fish is very common.

      That’s too bad, I would commit crimes to eat my grandfather’s calamari with red sauce again
