35 Horrifying Vintage Recipes That Would Have Made Your Party A Success Decades Ago (New Pics)
Interview With Owner
Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so does taste depend on each person. Some like wild food combinations (think of sriracha coupled with peanut butter), while others opt for more traditionally approved tastes.
And hey, we get it. When it comes to food, to each their own. But weirdly, bygone eras are notorious for serving questionable dishes and spreading bizarre recipes with a straight face. We know it from what we have seen in this insanely entertaining Facebook group titled pretty straightforwardly “Disgusting Vintage Recipes.”
The group’s content is exactly what’s in the title. So buckle up and get ready for a trip down memory lane full of stomach-churning turns. More of the bizarre recipes resurrected from the past and shared on this group can be found in our previous feature.

Bored Panda reached out to Samuel Brown, the founder of 'Disgusting Vintage Recipes,' to find out what his community has been up to since we last spoke some time ago. Turns out that the group has since moved with an updated link, but engagement is way up.
“People are starting to make these recipes and it's hilarious. The Frosty Law Man is a festive hit,” Brown told us. The founder also said that they are going to see if they can get more traffic to the new page. “We can expand and discuss once we hit 10,000 or so. I know that last time, it was extra work at that point.”

When asked whether Brown would like to try any of these crazy retro recipes, he said that it is the aspic aquarium recipe that he wants to make the most. “Tell you what: when we reach a 10,000 member goal, I'll make it and post me eating it,” he said.
“I think that many of these recipes are leftovers from old cookbooks trying to sell canned goods, industrially made products and filler for cookbooks. The low-fat craze made this funny as well,” Brown explained the craziness behind the vintage recipes.

When asked if any of these trends may actually come back, the founder of the group said: “I can see SPAM making a comeback, maybe? There's this weird white covering on meat that could come back, but I don't even know what it is made of.”
When it comes to vintage Christmas foods that people made in the past, Brown said that meat trees are different, that's for sure. “Want to see more? I posted a challenge for members to post their favorite holiday recipes on the page. It sounds like amazing Christmas morning scrolling.”

No, no. You spell it "mold". As in, the disgusting structures some fungi can form when growing on something that is rotting. (It's a joke, folks. I'm comparing these "moulds" to gross "mold". Because they look gross. Get it? I'm not actually criticizing the original spelling. Sigh.)

I don't like having my frankfurts be swift. They need to take AT LEAST 15 minutes. 5 to 8 minutes is unacceptably swift. That's just selfish.

it looks gross, but tuna, cheese and macaroni is a good combo, especially if you add peas

I think the obvious deduction from this article is that food manufacturers all had recipe development kitchens where they kept chefs captive, and they weren't released until they had come up with at 100 recipes involving miracle whip, or 100 versions of jello salad.
