Looks perfectly reasonable to me.
The exceptionally prolific list makers over at Buzzfeed caught my eye last week with
"21 Truly Upsetting Vintage Recipes,"a compilation of delightfully disturbing foodstuffs from mid-20th century America, most of them complete with recipes.
Being of, ahem, a certain age (technically, I just make the baby-boomer cutoff), I still remember witnessing — and yes, indulging in — comestibles every bit as odd as these feasts for the eyes, if not for the stomachs. I remember my excitement when my mother first broke out the fondue set. I remember bizarre gelatin modes and all sorts of curious casseroles. I remember all admirably inventive uses for Ritz crackers. I remember cheese substances being contorted into all sorts of depraved sins against nature.
Surely some of you are of a similar, uh, vintage as myself. Do you have any particular dishes that stand out in your memory, for being either fabulous or frightening — or both?
