Gallery of Regrettable Food


This site is priceless! Recipes from the fifties, which all seem to manage to incorporate jello. Peruse them, and their stomach-churning color illustrations, at http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/spec.html .
Some of my favorites: "The Other Other White Meat," the Lard Cookbook, Dr. Pepper/olive jello and coffee jello.


Also check out the larger site: Lileks's "Institute of Official Cheer" which is located at http://www.lileks.com/institute/index.html. Lots of wierd and funny stuff, updated daily, including "Interior Desecrations," showcasing incredible examples of interior design from the 50's-70's. It's all true. I was there. I know.
