24 Absolutely Horrendous Vintage Recipes
Mmmm, so much meaty gelatine.
1. "Salad".

Yep, looks like a salad to me.

A simple supper that takes over four hours to make.

"Please help us, mother."
4. Vegetable quiche in aspic.

:(
5. Slices of processed cheese carefully layered on top of canned beef stew.

I actually tried to make this in the office kitchen. It curdled.


7. Sad meaty fruit.

Why would you do this?
8. Flaming sausage lettuce crown with a side of wet macaroni.

Let's take a moment to look at this. Ignore the Old Fashioned, we don't care about that. In the background, that appears to be a lettuce on fire with sausages on sticks stuck in it, with a side dish of very lumpy looking macaroni cheese. Lovely.

Apologies to Spain for this bastardisation of paella.
18. Cheese fudge.

Fudge. Made out of cheese. I am done.
19. A really suspicious-looking piece of stuffed fish.

Nothing funny to see here.
20. Jellied tomato.

Ahh, nothing like a nice glass of tomato-flavoured jelly after a long day at work.
21. This horrific space cake.

How to make sure nobody turns up to your kid's next birthday party.

People in the past did not deserve bananas.
