Satirical 1950s Food

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mommy-i'm-scared dept.

A reader writes " This cookbook site has some very funny ads and books relating to food, from the 1920s - 50s. Check out the index here but first link is _the_ funniest one I found. "Wow-it's amazing what I find funny when I haven't slept for a while.

    I mean, MY GOD MAN!!

    I'd have to cruise on 3 hours a night for several nights, fo that bean and weiner thing to get a smirk.

    Now where's that recipe for Zima Jello - sort of a JelloShot, but tinggly, and you can have a whole bunch of it.

    Back up to the main page . I think the whole site's hilarious. Of course, I haven't slept in a while either.

  3. Not a fan of this site... by cg · · Score: 2

    I find this web site to be rather contradictory. He, I think it was a he, starts out by informing the reader that the following pages would be laden with the most hideously bland and poorly photographed food, as to make you thank your lucky stars you were born in the era of preprocessed foods!

    He then goes on to bash entire cook books based on his totally unsubstantiated opinion that soda makes all foods revolting. Now I cannot validate the edibility of a 7-up and cheese in a pancake combination, I would be more than happy to vouch for 7-up/Sprite/Canada Dry/beer used to baste various meats.

    In his other "cookbook reviews" the author comments on different photos and recipies in a way that harkens me back to elementary school, "Eww, looks like your eating intestines!! ha ha ha"

    In fact, the only thing this author extolls is the worldwide recognition his site has achieved. Pretty bland if you ask me.

    a tasty ham.

    I have now seen it all :)

    Oh well, We have to eat and by god, might as well do it right.
    Might be able to cook it on an overclocked K6. What do I preheat it to? 3-D rendering on 3dsMax?
    Compiling the latest Linux kernel? or do I have to go broil and load Windows?
