Wow - those are easily the grossest looking entrees I've ever seen. Good for a laugh, though!

My favorite was the Melba Peaches. What was up with the ceramic cheetah? ???

Thank you for that - it was disgustingly wonderful and ridiculous. What is with the props? The huge-ass ceramic cheetah? The urn and clock and yellow ceramic pig? So ridiculous. So funny.

Sadly, if my mother had known how to cook she would have had those cards...she went to ww meetings forever it seems...thank goodness she never became ambitious enough to try to cook! :o

i thoroughly enjoyed that! i especially liked "Chicken Liver Bake: enjoy it with the ashes of a loved one," and of course the "Caucasian Shashlik".

i think you are onto something jeanacorina! perhaps the meals were so nasty looking people wouldn't want to eat, thus loosing weight!


Woah! I'm a genuis! I didn't even think of that... all I knew was that I had been STARVING and trying to decide what to eat- next thing, I was staring at a Liver Pate and thinking "I want to throw up."

Huh. It worked!

glad you all enjoyed them!

ponycakes, thanks for the other awesome links.  too much fun!  :D :-D

ponycakes, the jello one is hilarious!  my favorite parts:

"I say, old fellow, have you noticed a lot of Jell-O about? It's the damndest thing. Wifey used to put out cake after supper. Big chocolate bastards; delicious. But now she thinks we're poor because she read that RCA stock is down. Really. Family money's in railroads and gold - don't know what she's on about. Really ought to keep her from reading the papers at all, I suppose; don't know where else she'd get these damnable ideas. Anyway, now it's in the salads, too. Jell-O! Imagine."

"She catches sight of herself in the mirror, and realizes that she's still a little high from the afternoon reefer she partook with the deliveryman. She could be fired for this. And then what? And THEN what? How could she be so STUPID? Surely Jeeves noticed; surely Jeeves will say something. And with the baby and all - oh, Lord, how has it come to this?"

"Halle-fuggin' LULAH! Factories may be closing, lines of grim scraggly men forming around the corner by the soup kitchen, anarchists may be fulminating in the park but BY GOD America is on the job: Jell-O no longer requires boiling water. Take that, you doubters, you Reds, you Wobblies, you Bolshy fiends who say we've lost our national will. FDR is on the job, and America is on the mend. Freedom from Boiling Water: one of the Five Freedoms!"

Haha!  Savory jell-o salads are one of the most repulsive foods I can think of.  WHY?!
