Most of these are from the 50s-60s. There is a really great article about why/how we got there with canned soup & jello everything…super interesting.
That being said…fuck all that shit…barf.

I don’t have the article to share but it said that during ww2 the food industry has to overcome a lot of challenges to feed the troop. It cost a lot of money in research and as the war stop, most of it was useless. So they try to sell those recipes to civilians has a convenient way too cook quicker. They succeed because a large proportion of women worked for the war effort and kinda like the financial freedom.between the lack of time to cook and the modernist hype those war recipe thrive. Kinda like to get the link tho.

Also Gelatin was a really laborious process (aka, luxury) until jello came along, and yeah the total convenience thing. The whole era of convenience foods producing some amazing barf is something else.

I actually tried bacon wrapped banana once a while back, tastes amazing.

I found a book of 70s Italian recipes and half the dishes were stuff like vegetables encased in a ring of aspic jelly.

What’s even going on in #19? I see lemon wedges, what looks like okra, maybe, and then…raw ground beef? Surely that can’t be right.

It doesn’t look raw, it looks like sloppy joe

A lot of these were designed just so wife’s could get back at their husbands. As a child of the 50/60s I frequently suffered collateral damage.

That hollandaise sounds interesting. Actually a few of those are close to something I’ve eaten or stuff that might actually be good
