I collect old cookbooks, partly because they're fascinating barometers of society at different points in our history, and partly because the recipes are often hysterically awful.
In honor of disgusting foods, post any old recipes you have lying around which may have sounded good 50 years ago but now just play fast and loose with your gag reflex.
We begin with the Good Housekeeping Appetizer Book (1958). How gross can appetizers be, you ask?
Peanut-Ham Spread
1/3 cup chunk-style peanut butter
1 2 1/4 oz can deviled ham
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp chopped dill pickle
Combine peanut butter, ham, mayonnaise, and pickle. Arrange in bowl on tray.
Still hungry? Then let out your belt because I made
Speedy Tuna Dunk
1 cup soft butter
1/4 cup chopped stuffed olives
1 can chunk-style tuna
Cream butter with olives and tuna until well blended. Arrange in a bowl with dippers. Let guests dunk their own!
