Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This book is an extremely quick flip. It features extremely revolting recipes. And while some of them are remotely appealing, 95 percent of them would make me vomit at the sight and smell of them. So this is strictly a humorous read, and not one to be read if you are hungry, unless you are trying to diet and therefore kill your appetite. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Banana Meatloaf Tomato Soup Cake, and Spam Smoothies -- borderline tummy-turners to downright doubtful -- Retro Food Fiascos is a showcase of culinary curiosities from some of America's favorite magazines, cookbooks, and food companies. Actual recipes and images of some of the most claring dishes to ever leave the kitchen combine with commentary and quips to pay homage to those foods we'd rather forget. In the name of nutrition and creative cooking, the marketing and recipe writers of the 1950s cooked up some very suspicious combinations. Innovations in food processing and new products tempted everyone from the amateur cook to the professional chef to play with their food. And the results? We'll let you be the judge. Book jacket.
