Here’s another link brought to my attention by the talented web-surfers of BoingBoing.
At www.lileks.com, you’ll find a compilation of some of the most horrific recipies of the mid-twentieth century. The author has organized them into categories and annotated the blurry food photos with his own commentary, including this one from “Meat Meat Meat!“:
One of the more popular cuts: pressed shank braised with smoker’s phlegm. It may take a few tries to get Uncle Hank to hack up enough Lucky sauce, so be patient.
Some of these recipe photos are truly alarming. If you ever needed an argument for becoming a vegetarian, these photos should suffice.
