ladies...do any of you remember these vintage recipes?

CeeCee, you are incredible. I haven't had dinner and was starving until I read your link. LOL, but a good thing...I have no appetite. :sick:
 
Some were pretty disgusting, lol.

I actually so remember seeing that pineapple somewhere.

Times sure have changed...seems like everything was in jello or aspic.

Yummo! Why not? One of my all time faves are suet dumplings cooked in cane syrup. These seem like a damned good idea to me.

Won't be touching whatever that is in the last picture though, that just looks naaaasty.
 
Yukk! not my kind of foods lol the only ones I know are Hellman`s mayo and Spam which we have here
and still use.. if I had a choice and had to make something from that list would be that meat igloo as long
as it was mashed potatoes over minced meat... but I must admit they were so colourful and sure had imagination
those days.. thanks CeeCee for sharing..
 
I remember several of those. Growing up my mom was the queen of jello. She use to get McCall Magazine. Every month Jello would have an ad in there with some new incredible Jello creation. To this day I still do not eat jello.
 
Atora suet is still available here, and they now make a light version. I will look later, to see if there is a veggie one too; I can't remember. Used mainly in Christmas puddings.

My dad was the creative cook of the family. ;)

He would plop some mashed potato on our plate, make a hollow with his finger then fill it with tomato sauce (ketchup).
Voila, an erupting volcano. We loved it and every generation of kids since then has also enjoyed their volcanoes.
 
Anyone of the those dishes about made me puke, and yes indeed #16 was quite interesting to say the least!!!

Most of those would have been way too fancy for my mom and grandma's. Puttin' on airs to say the least.

I vaguely recall my mom frying a banana once in awhile!

We had beanie weenie casserole a lot, that was gettin' fancy there, let me tell you.

Two of my childhood favs were fried baloney or fried Spam sandwiches, that was good eats!

I think the last time we tried to eat some Spam was on a camping trip about 20 years ago and I was feeling nostalgic and thought "Hey, fried Spam sandwiches sound really good." Um not so much, either they have really changed Spam over the decades or my tastes have changed drastically and I am sure it is the latter.
