30 Disgusting Vintage Recipes That Prove The Dishes Of The Past Were Really Bizarre

I thought it was an upside down (see through) lunch box!!!! Eeeeeeew though!!

I love aspic

Waste of shrimp

There are things way worse

I would try it as I like shrimp and cucumber.

" Chef Patrick Henriroux combines one of the wonderful Bresse chickens, with wine, Port, cognac, and truffle juice in a pork bladder, seals it, and lets it poach. The bladder inflates, and this puffed balloon-like presentation is garnished with a blanched leek and brought to the table on a tray on a bed of tourneed vegetables sauced with cream. The bladder is pricked carefully before the diners to release the pressure and juices, then the chicken is removed and sliced." You don't eat the bladder you eejit !

No. Just no

Honestly, I can't see this being bad *in principle* as a way to poach or steam fish. (once you rinse the bladder out, (or the stomach, or the intestines), it's just a sack. However, I don't know what they did to it, because the opened contents look... just atrocious.

I start to understand why people were slimmer 'back in the days' now. 😂

Looks like a sandcastle and being honest, I'd rather eat sand

This looks like a mini building made from candle wax. I don't know what is going on here.

I thought it was a carrot castle! 😆

Why do I feel like this came as is in a really big oddly shaped can?

Ham? Ugh

If only there was something you could do with salmon and rice that wasn't this abomination. Dear Japan...

“Hmmm… what should we do with these ingredients?…” “sushi?” ….”No. JELLO”

My mother made something like that for a Xmas dinner. A fake fish made with tuna mashed with potatoes and then put in aspic. Can't remember how long did it take, two-three hours IIRC, and it was meant to be the main course. She served it, she cut it, she put it in the plates, we took a bite, we all passed to the side dishes and dessert: it was horrible.

what in the shushi is this

Even the cats went "fr? nooo" when they glanced at this picture on the computer

No, not the worst thing on this list by a long way

This is really cute

Nothing wrong with this

I like it! Being a vintage recipe, I'm kind of afraid that the duck pond is masking mashed trout and mashed potatoes or something, but if that's just cake, it's cute cake.

This is very cute.

Now hear me out! A slice of this between two pieces of bread is way easier to eat than crumbly egg salad. I might actually try this recipe (with more mustard obviously)

My mother has a terracotta pot just like that one

id eat the egg only..not the bottom

And look, you can do your composting in the center.

ya not even hell would give this to people 😭

No no no, I was an adult in her prime in 1988 and NOTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING THIS MONSTROSITY ever made it to my table.

I think in the past people made more use of their scraps and leftovers, and were generally on a tighter food budget. I think a lot of these recipes are about jazzing up pantry staples or old food.

why......WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

I used to make spinach and ricotta pie that used something like this as the crust. It was really good!

oh, i rememmber the spaghetti pie trend in the 80s....why ruin perfectly good spaghetti by baking it to almost a crisp state....bleech!
