If you liked the idea of ghastly gelatin creations as opposed to the pretty ones from my earlier post about the Gelatin Flickr group, you will have to check out this amazing set of old cookbook pages called "Misguided Efforts in Cookery" by Miss Retro Modern.
Not only are the photos nauseating (what is with that greenish tint to all photos from the 60's?), but the comments people have left are just hysterical. I almost died laughing when I read the ones left for "Lamb with Mint Jelly." Words like "barftastic" and "disturbing" are quite common, and well deserved. And what is with that stuffed cabbage? That was a dirty trick!
