A lot can change in, say, 50 years. Just look at the car or communication industry. How we eat is no exception. And nothing shows it as vividly as the Facebook group Questionable Vintage Recipes.

As the name suggests, its members share funny and weird foods from back in the day: we're talking lamb chops, cranberry "candles", and crown roasts of frankfurters. You know, the good stuff.

Continue scrolling to check out some of the most ridiculous recipes the group has to offer. Just don't show them to Gordon Ramsay. He'd be fuming!

    Currently, the group has 38,400 members and a 6-people admin and mod team looking after it. Luckily for us, they agreed to answer a few questions, introducing the online community from the inside.

    "I started the group as a way to bond with my new mother-in-law," Katiaña, the founder of Questionable Vintage Recipes, told Bored Panda. "We both think wild vintage foods are really funny and I was afraid I wouldn't have anything else in common with her (thankfully I was wrong) so I made what I thought was just going to be the two of us and my roommate Yvonne sharing silly pictures of spamcakes and aspics. It blew up almost overnight."

    One of the admins, Kelly, said that even though a lot of different monstrosities get submitted, aspic and spam are definite favorites among the members.

    Indeed, if you look through popular cookbooks of the 1950s and 1960s, you'll encounter a disheartening trend that has since faded into obscurity: dishes that were encased in savory molded gelatin or aspic.

    An article in The Daily Meal says this could've been due to the fact that in the early 1950s refrigerators were still quite expensive, and since gelatin needs refrigeration in order to set, preparing a Jell-O mold was something of a status symbol.

    Eventually, molds became so popular and ended up in so many cookbooks because home chefs (and publishers) simply accepted that they were a desirable thing to make. They also were relatively fun to prepare—cooks used to show off aesthetic skills by creating inventive aspics. Plus, the ingredient list was quite cheap if you were using canned goods and leftovers.

    "I think viral cooking channels like [ours] have people excited about cooking again," another member of the team, Jennifer, added. "Being in this group has definitely had me and my mom reaching for my great-grandmother's hand-written cookbooks more often. I know early in the pandemic when supply chains were disrupted and we weren't sure when we'd get to the grocery store again, people were definitely putting together weird combinations from the pantry like our grandparents did."

    And according to her colleague, Yvonne, that's probably the main reason why Questionable Vintage Recipes got so big. "I feel like what unites our group for a lot of its members is the memories we associate with food, even if it's an odd combination from a time mostly forgotten," she said.

    "It's the memory of someone's mother making a ham aspic at a family bbq, or another generation making a dandelion salad when money and resources were tight."

    The gelatin was the avocado of the 80's!!! Huge trend! Edit: yes perhaps it's from earlier years i just remember i have cookbooks from the 80's and it was a huge trend! I'm not saying it was not in the previous years I'm in my 30s and I don't know but for sure it was really popular until the 80's

    I was curious about why aspics and gelatins were so popular. I'd heard this before but forgot. Here's some information I found interesting: One, in the early 1950s refrigerators were still quite expensive, and gelatin needs refrigeration in order to set. So in a way, preparing a Jell-O mold was something of a status symbol. Also, it’s worth noting that gelatin molds date back to the 1700s, when elaborate molds and gelatin (which was quite expensive) were seen as a way to showcase wealth, so this notion was nothing new. Two, molds were so popular, and featured in so many cookbooks, that many home cooks simply accepted that they were a desirable thing to make. They also were relatively fun to prepare, and were an inexpensive way to make a main dish by using primarily canned goods and leftovers. Three, postwar domesticity was largely wrapped up in modern technology and the efficiency, order, and cleanliness it offered. Gelatin molds were decidedly neat and tidy and mess-free, economical, and efficient. In being controlled yet elegant in their own way, gelatin molds were completely in tune with the era.

    • Yvonne: "Anything with spam. I make spam macaroni and cheese every week";

    I Found This Recipe And I Just Had To Try It

    I Found This Recipe And I Just Had To Try It

    It's called Frankaroni loaf. It calls for macaroni, bread crumbs, cheese, hot dogs, tomato sauce (not spaghetti sauce) and stuffed olives. I had all ingredients on hand. Except I chose to make it with Spaghettios because it just made the whole thing campier (more campy?campier? Technically that's not a word but I'm a trailblazer) also the only olives I have are stuffed with blue cheese and are for Martinis (guess what wins here). So I reserved some of the Spaghettio juice (or whatever it's called), mixed all the ingredients and put the hot dogs in the middle. It called for 6 hot dogs in a loaf pan longer than the one I had so I needed to break hot dogs in pieces and arrange them to fit (which drove me nuts that I couldn't get into perfect rows). I had 1 left over that I just couldn't fit in and I was already stressed from the guilt of saving the stuffed olives for Martinis so I just left it out. I baked it then used the reserved Spaghettio juice to make that classy diagonal stripe. But alas, what do I do with the leftover hot dog? Well, since the lack of green olives left a gaping hole of despair in our culinary sensibilities I decided I would use the extra hot dog in the style of nouvelle cuisine. Nouvelle cuisine uses the presentation of the dish artistically. For example, you may have a salad that resembles a sunset over the ocean. And the chick pea, if placed perfectly, represents blissful departures with good fortune. So I placed the leftover hot dog along the diagonal stripe of Spaghettio juice to represent a hand hewn boat floating with tranquility across a placid fjord. And the tooth pick represents a flaming arrow shot by a viking setting his dead friend ablaze. Finally it was cool enough to try. I took my first bite and I must say this pretty much tasted like crap. Not spit it out and wash your out out with Scope bad. It just tasted like Spaghettios with bread crumbs. Maybe it will taste better tomorrow. That's OK. I'll just wash the taste out with this Martini...with olives

    Spam-Fruit Cocktail Buffet Party Loaf!

    Spam-Fruit Cocktail Buffet Party Loaf!

    1 (15-ounce) can Del Monte fruit cocktail, drained (reserve syrup)
    2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
    2 tablespoons vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    2 (12-ounce) cans Spam luncheon meat, very finely chopped
    1/2 cup celery, very finely chopped
    1/4 cup green olives, very finely chopped
    1/2 cup Miracle Whip
    1 teaspoon prepared mustard
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    5 lemons
    Paprika
    Additional Miracle Whip
    Arrange drained fruit cocktail in 9-by-5-by-3 inch loaf pan. In top of double boiler, mix reserved syrup with gelatin, vinegar, cinnamon, and cloves. Place over hot water and stir until gelatin dissolves. Carefully pour 1/2 cup of gelatin mixture over fruit cocktail. Place in pan in refrigerator and chill until gelatin has thickened but is not set.
    Mix Spam with celery and olives. Mix Miracle Whip with mustard, salt, and remaining gelatin mixture. Add Spam mixture to Miracle Whip mixture and blend well. Spread over fruit cocktail. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
    For garnish, make lemon cups by halving lemons, slicing off ends (so lemons will stand up), and scooping out pulp. Dip cut edges of lemons in paprika. Fill cups with Miracle Whip and sprinkle lightly with additional paprika.
    To serve, unmold loaf onto large platter and surround with lemon cups. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

    It should be a youtube channel, subscribers vote for recipies, the host makes it/tries to make it, then tries to con people into trying it.

    I'm going to guess this is a recent spoof image. "Fire resistant" and "Minimum Vermin" seems a bit much.

    Tomato aspic is delicious. It dates back to the mid 19th century and possibly earlier.

    From My Gramms Old Church Cookbook, A Touch Of Dutch. Any Ideas What It Makes After We Let It Stand A Few Hours?

    From My Gramms Old Church Cookbook, A Touch Of Dutch. Any Ideas What It Makes After We Let It Stand A Few Hours?

    **I think there was an assumption given the time, that people would just know what was next after it sits a few hours, which seems to be forming and baking. You cookie guessers I'm willing to bet are absolutely right. PLEASE don't eat raw flour.**

    I'm Not Sure This Qualifies As "Vintage" Since This Cookbook Is From 1998, But It's Certainly A Questionable Recipe That Has Nothing "Mexican" To It. And Hey, It's Over 20 Years Old, So...can We Call This Vintage?

    Mexico could declare war over this, and they'd be justified. Carnitas is delicious, this? Not so much.

    Rice: one cup rice, 1 1/2 cup of water, pat of butter and salt. Put water in a lidded pan, add butter and salt, bring to a boil, add rice, stir, bring back to a boil, cover pan, turn off heat, twenty minutes later voila perfectly cooked rice. [Depending on rice type, more water might be needed, but no more than a half cup more.]
