Aspics were <i>h</i><span><i>aute cuisine</i>&nbsp;</span>not all that long ago. And these days&nbsp;US recipes&nbsp;tend not to mix sweet with savory -- mincemeat pie originally had&nbsp;minced meat in it, along with fruit and spices.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446891 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 01:28:28 +0000 K.M. 1446891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, if you make that savory cheesecake, I want to know the results! I'm very much into savory versions of usually sweet things and vice-versa.</p> <p>I must also say something re: seven-layer sandwich cake. I don't know about that particular one, as I'm sure the flavor will depend on the ingredients. But my grandmother--who was a very sophisticated cook and even a bit snobbish overall--used to make an amazingly delicious dish that was basically, I guess, a multi-layer sandwich cake. It consisted of very thin slices of loaf bread cut horizontally (like the one on the photo), and in between each layer she would put a different and colorful vegetable spread: black-olive spread; beet spread; carrot spread; watercress spread. The spreads were mayo-based, which gave them a lighter texture than they would have had with cream cheese. She didn't "frost" the "cake" at all. And when you sliced it, it looked like a rainbow. Imagine a very moist, creamy, unctuous vegetable sandwich... If one day I work up the courage I'll try my hand at it (and share my pics of course). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446557 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:52:36 +0000 abc 1446557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! &nbsp;I have some vintage printed armor meat recipe&nbsp;pamphlets I can't seem to let go of for the chuckle factor as well as some diagrams of cows and the cuts of meat. &nbsp;I think they are all from the 60s-70s. &nbsp;Isn't it funny how tastes change and mature? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446358 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 05:05:38 +0000 Adelfa 1446358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my fave. Lemon jello mixed with mayo, chopped hard boiled egg, chopped celery, and beef--plus other stuff!

Just recently someone on the Gluten free thread was talking about a pizza with a meat base.</p> <p>And Philadelphia cheese, who always have recipes on their packets, has one for a savoury cheesecake with smoked chicken in it, that I have always thought looked rather yummy and would like to try making. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446321 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 02:38:12 +0000 K.M. 1446321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great! Hilarious. But is it weird that I'm a little bit curious to taste some of them? Not because I think they'll be delicious, just out of curiosity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446176 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 20:34:40 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1446176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Fruit Cake Tree and the Artichokes Italian looks EXACTLY like the stuff my Italian aunts used to make when I was a kid. &nbsp; Back in the 70's. &nbsp; So obviously these things were popular back in the day.</p> <p>And as a kid, I remember reaching around festive treats like this to get to the cookies.</p> <p>My mom had some teenage girl book series she read when she was a teen back in the 60's, and one of them&nbsp;mentions a variant of that seven-layer sandwich cake, made with - are you ready for this? - <i><u>tuna fish</u></i>. &nbsp;And cream-cheese 'frosting'.</p> <p>I think we should start hunting for popular-ish contemporary recipes from today, that will make people cringe in 30 or 40 years :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446065 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:13:49 +0000 catgirl 1446065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html</a></p> <p>These will make you laugh till you cry - read the comments - and the hover links are key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1446050 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:55:08 +0000 doubleh 1446050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was counting down the minutes till lunch until I saw this...thanks for staving off my appetite! lol. &nbsp;Until the waldorf jello I thought ambrosia salad was the grossest thing one could eat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-bad-vintage-recipes#post-1445857 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 05:36:21 +0000 kellygirl 1445857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, so funny!
