>>19223248
It's a pie cake

I love that they're selling the cups. What a deal

""Salad oil"" hmm. Wonder what that is

God I want to eat that.

>remove membrane from crabmeat
This is just surimi, isn't it?
At least half of the ones ITT aren't that bad at all--sneed oils and "Aspic loaves" excluded.
The real horrors are when copy writers for food companies try to shoehorn the product into everyplace where it doesn't belong.
Often it seems like they are trying to trick naive housewives into making these garish concoctions just to get them to buy MORE product than they normally would...

>>19223331
Japs have something like this in the form of a sort of milk soda called Calpico. It's actually quite decent with a pleasant taste.

>>19223331
fun fact:
7-Up used to be made with LITHIUM CITRATE.
Guess it used to really level you out.

This thread reminds me that I found a microwave cookbook from like the 70s or 80s while cleaning out my dad's shed.
I should do a thread about it one day.

The molasses icing and the weird mustard-and-tomato pastry might be okay.

>>19223316
Yoo what this old meme called?
The hurkler or something?
I was looking for this the other day

>>19223492
They don't write Calpis in English anymore on the bottle because white people figured out that's what it is.

These recipes were always memes put out by food company marketing departments. I don't any more than just a few people tried to it once, then went back to making meatloaf.

Running an inflation check, $2 in 1953 is equal to about $22 now. Still not a bad price for 4 metal-handled glasses.

Isn't this just weird pigs in a blanket? Seems fine.

Dylan Hollis got some good videos proving most of these are actually delicious.

>>19223275
Congealed is not an appetizing word.

Behold

>>19224359
This. I find it a little weird that mustard or ketchup is part of the pastry formula, but it's just little pigs in a blanket.

what the fuck were they thinking in the 50s man

somebody post the toothpaste mints

The tuna macaroni cheese loaf is really the low point. Reading the recipe made me feel sick.

>>19224706
These recipes are no worse than today's vile garbage. Which begs the question: who on earth pays attention to this vile shit?

My grandmother and mother would make the bottom layer as a side dish for thanksgiving, but it had walnuts, pineapple and the cottage cheese in it. It would be topped with a dollop of mayonnaise and half a maraschino cherry. I was bad to say the least.

>>19223230
Every time I go to a Goodwill/ used bookstore I try to pick up old cookbooks.

They are so much less pretentious than the garbage that churned out today.

>>19224870
Yesterday, I read an (awful) allrecipes entry for broccoli cheddar soup and in the comments were some even worse abominations of an already bad recipe:

>This recipe didn't have enough cheese flavor so I added a jar of nacho cheese mix; not the flavor I was looking for. Two stars

>This recipe was too watery and tasted like chicken stock. 1 tbsp of garlic powder is too much (true). Three stars.

The internet has been trash for the last 30 years.

>>19226800
Mine too. We called it the green dish, but I think it's called ambrosia salad.
Gma is dead now, but we still have to make it every year despite absolutely no one eating it

>>19224706
Before the advent of powdered gelatin and home refrigeration, gelatin used to be a premium ingredient. When it was used, it was often for savory dishes.

Then it got cheap, everybody got refrigerators and people went nuts with kooky Jello recipes.

It's probably due for something of a comeback, some of this weird shit may actually taste okay

>>19224772

>>19226881
thanks

>>19224578
They knew all along

>>19223259
This is the first one in this thread that's actually kinda gross.
>>19223301
Okay, this one too.
>>19226881
This one is obviously a joke.

>>19224566
Fuck off, trole! You're just jealous that I control your life. Your obsession with me is more unhealthy than my obsession with huffing duster.

Are you related in any way to Aunt Myrna?

>>19223259
See, what was even the intention here?
Purely a joke food spectacle? You can't pretend that even in the 50s people wanted to eat a loaf of bologna stuffed with peas.

>>19223275
I've thought about making an apple pie with applesauce mixed with gelatin for the filling.

>>19226986
I'd eat that right now desu

>>19223331
7-up with milk isn't that bad. Its very similar to pic related.

The best part about these old ads is that they assume the reader is basically retarded or illiterate. They're like the mid20th century equivalent of Tiktok recipe reels

>>19226830
Modern gelatin recipes (e.g. cheesecake) would sound gross to anyone who didn't grow up eating them. My parents used to make a mousse by whipping jello with cream cheese and cream, which /ck/ would probably think was disgusting, but it came out fine.

Maybe the old savoury stuff tastes fine, but because nobody is daring enough to make it, nobody has found out?

>>19227508
Niggers got rights around that time so they had to

>>19227508
Contemporary advertising is minimalist. Companies compete for your attention so they can't say much.

>>19228691
Cheesecake recipes with gelatin aren't weird at all unless you grew up in tribal africa

>>19227508
that is an interesting argument. i'm not sure i fully agree, but i am thinking about it.

>>19226771
weenie crown roast is the thing that finally convinced you? i'm not sure i understand, but, you know, congratulations all the same. we all find our own path to knowledge.

>>19229263
Cheesecake recipes with gelatin have existed for under a hundred years while cheesecake without it has existed for millennia

>>19226881
>>19226947
iirc its an almost ancient meme that was a school project of parodying tabloid garbage. Dont confuse them with the parody adverts for 90s/2000s supermarket advertisements like Chicken Whispers.

>>19229616

>>19229263
You mean to tell me that they would only sound gross to someone who didn't grow up knowing about them? Wow, anon, thanks for telling me that.

If you think cheesecakes are not the type of thing people find gross, then consider how cheese foam boba topping is seen.

>>19229263
I have never seen a cheesecake made with gelatin, the one I usually make doesn't have it and it works just fine.

What the fuck, bros? Was there some sort of experimentation in post War U.S./Canada/Britain.

>>19230768
Some make more sense when you see how common moulded dishes were.
Julia Child for example has many moulded desserts that build crusts out of separate lady fingers or other cookies. In a way similar to the hotdog dish.
It was a type of presentation that was popular in the early 20th century and was used into the 50s in more kitschy ways.

>>19230768
>>19230782
Inside you'd layer cake, cream, ice cream, etc.
But the point of the dish was the moulded presentation.

>>19226987
If you do, throw some apple butter in there too

>>19223238
There's nothing wrong with this.

>>19223947
so, they are like the '' 5 minutes craft/tasty/chef club video'' of the 60's ? they only look good on media but are utterly shit in real life

>>19227508
>they assume the reader is basically retarded or illiterate.

give an example from those pics you replied to

>>19223301
Minus the salad greens and cottage cheese. I've had this where 7-up/sprite replaces the water. It was excellent.

>>19231997
7up and mayo lime jello? Sounds even more disgusting than the recipe.

>>19230784
Did you make this? It looks damn delicious

>>19232506
Nah, stolen from Google.
I should make one though. You're right.

I was searching for recipe horror but actually found something that sounds delicious.

You reckon Hershey's "dainties" are basically like modern day Hershey's kisses?

>>19233332
Pet Milk? Like Cat Milk?

>Ölost, beer cheese
I can't find the exact recipe but here is the gist.
Boil milk, pour in a beer.
The beer foams up and coagulates the milk. Making a vague "cheese" on top. It was used as a spread on bread. The leftover liquid was drunk or made into soup.
It was supposed to be common in northern Europe and apparently existed in Britain according to Linné in the 18th century.
By the early 20th century it was considered to have no culinary value. With the quoted saying "beer cheese makes no one happy."

Excuse the absolutely fucked colour. I will probably not make this again for a better picture. It's actually a pale beige colour.
It wasn't good. I tried a few different ratios and beers. Drinking the beer/milk mix was kind of ok.

that's what you think faggot

Picrel, a beef hamburger, made from an actual cow. Back in the 20th century they used to eat animals instead of healthy, nutritious, ethically-sourced, organic soy and insect Meatte™. (Sorry, 4chan doesn't support trigger warnings. Mods, delete this if NSFW.)

Are you a Canadian health care professional?

>>19230768
Actually, yes. Ww2 brought on mass produced processed foods, shelf stable dried mixes, and frozen foods. After the war ended the big corporations who made all these things put out marketing blitzes of abominable 'recipes' in order to convince people to consume more of their slop.

My mother used to make something similar but with orange jello and mandarin orange slices. (optional)
Her staple was carrot salad, which I think was a mix of orange jello, crushed pineapple and grated carrot.

>>19230768
Yes. basically >>19234341
They all had test kitchens working to come up with new recipes to shill their brands with.

>>19235072
>a mix of orange jello, crushed pineapple and grated carrot
It sounds decent. How it was?

I actually read a really interesting article on this subject before. Basically, canned food was becoming more prevalent and foods like mayonnaise and gelatin that were previously only within the purview of the rich were made easily available to the masses so people went hog wild with them. Really wish I could find it again, it was a very informative read and also very sympathetic rather than going "EWWW HAHA WHITE PEOPLE IN THE 50s WERE SO WEIRD AMIRITE".

>>19233332
nah, looks like chocolate chips/morsels

>>19236910
Found this one on Serious Eats, although it wasn't the one I read it provides much of the same info.

I made it once. I mean, it's not terrible or anything there's just absolutely no fucking reason for this to exist

>>19237620
It's like a christmas ham for people considering suicide.

>>19236910
Mayo being rare seems definitely incorrect.
Eggs, oil, vinegar. Its basic pantry fare and can be made in daily quantities.
The only limit on mayo would be housewives knowing how to make it. Because it isn't obviusly made of any of those things.

>>19237620
This reads like something made based on ration cards or welfare.
Canned fruit, margarine, bologna logs, basic government food.

>>19223255
This is actually good. I saw this before and poured a lil DP into a coffee mug and nuked it in the microwave for 30 seconds. It was flat of course but it bought this slight flavour of spice like cinnamon or clove

>>19231904
Back in the day people would read a lot more than they do nowadays.
