    “Tuna and olive pasta”? A weird meal? I need to see the recipe.

    I think a lot of these are more 50s and 60s war crimes than 80s.

    50s invented Jello Salad war crimes.

      Yeah, most of these sorts of abominations are pushed by big food conglomerates trying to manufacture demand for their shelf-stable hyperprocessed shit by publishing recipes that feature their “convenience foods” as ingredients. (Just look at how many of the recipe images in the list are literally advertisements for Miracle Whip and whatnot!) That sort of thing really resonated with the whole '50s atomic-age modernist thinking crowd.

      (Don’t get me wrong: I think the modernist aesthetic/furniture design/aesthetic is great. Lots of other stuff about it, like the food and the [anti-]urbanism, was an absolute disaster, though.)

    My mother did that shit all the time. I distinctly remember one time she tried to make spaghetti with calamari. She had never cooked squid before so we ended up eating what tasted like tomato sauce covered erasers.

      Hi! Spaghetti con calamari is a very legit italian recipe and very good too.

      It’s only a matter of following the right recipe but in south of Italy pasta&seafood or fish is very common.

    #4 “Frankfurter Pie” isn’t so bad. It’s just sausage and sauerkraut with some bread under it.

    Neighbours had the “flying jacob”, mnm’s pushed into peeled bananas, rolled in bacon and cooked in the owen.

    That stuff was not delicious.
