I take it some of those overlap with those in James Lileks' 2001 book: "The Gallery of Regrettable Food"?

It reflects on the ghastly stuff people would eat back then, it seems

My guess is that if there was a famine going on and your house was
besieged by rabid locust swarms, you'd be all too happy to find a ham
wrapped banana or two in the back of your cupboard!

Until the late 1960s our local wines were horrible. There were only a
few wineries and the stuff they made was so bad it was almost a joke.
Then a couple of people realized that we have similar soil, weather and
soil as some of the good wine producing regions of the world and brought
in varietal grapes. There are new wineries opening up all over the area
and they are making some excellent wines.

We ate what was available. We did not have year round access to fresh
fruit and vegetables. We had seasonal produce. Freezers were only
large enough to hold a couple ice cube trays and maybe a couple cans of
frozen orange juice concentrate. We got our fruit and vegetables in cans.

Lol...

Sheldon, check out Dick Powell's "erect" *tie* in the movie poster (scroll down) for 1954's "Susan Slept Here":

http://trailersfromhell.com/susan-sl.../#.VvqBVNIrK1t

Director Frank Tashlin took the 50's Bazoom Obsession to new heights in his movies - you might remember Jayne Mansfield's amazing stroll down the street in 1956's "The Girl Can't Help It!" - milk bottles gush, ice melts, and eyeglasses shatter when guys get a gander at her breasts. It's simply amazing, and I've been lucky enough to see this film in a real thee - ater, nothing like Jayne's boobs comin' at ya in Cinemascope and Deluxe Color. It's almost 3-D...jaw dropping!

Tashlin's films are funnier - and sexier - than anything on the screen today...and he managed, with humor, to subversively inject sex into his films, despite the Production Code in force at the time.

If I could take a time machine ride, one of my stops would be the 1950's movie houses around Times Square or Chicago's Loop to see all this stuff, I love the ballyhoo of it all...

I see it as a kind of awakening. The war is finally behind us,
advertisers and Madison Avenue are beginning to create the life style
of the average family. There is leisure and money for a more relaxed
life style and we are able to afford to entertain. Women are
redefining themselves. They want to be creative . In my mind's eye,
the world of humans has gone from black and gray to color. We are
beginning to gather together with phones, radios and TV, in a kind of
renaissance of hospitality. Up to this point everything had been
mundane.

LOL! I once joked my workmates about "crab stuffed bananas." I told
them it was an island thing and very good. I just made it all up
though. Then.... since I was catching so many crabs that summer, I
actually made one. Just scraped a trench into the banana and filled it
with cooked crabmeat. I broiled it and it actually wasn't bad at all.
So a banana wrapped with ham *might* be ok.

Many people dismiss things as nasty without trying them. Sometimes the
results can surprise you.

They all taste good after a couple of glasses. ;-D
I tried my hand at making homemade wine one year.
It turned out perfect....for getting unwanted houseguests to leave.

How about Anchovy Danish? ROFL!!! When I used to work in the donut shop, our first order of busines every morning was making up the danish rolls, and we used to joke about what was the grossest things we could top danish rolls with! Like anchovy danish! ;-)

True, and a lot of those old recipes are very good, like wine *good food is
what YOU like* not what someone else determines you should like or not like
because that's what appeals to their taste, or on the darker side, a bunch
of impotent control freaks. LOL

I had the same experience with beer, it turned out ghastly. Now I only drink

Looking at those recipes I was thinking " Phew, lucky us; saved by
post-war food rationing and austerity."
Almost made me grateful for tripe and tapioca.

The frosted tea loaf is really good. I made it a couple times as a finger-food
Appetizer, and it was always very popular.

They are simply a reflection of the culture and society of the period. There is always something to be learned from vintage dishes. America in the 60's and 70's? Now that's interesting stuff!

I remember my grandmother used to stew it in milk with masses of
onions - wasn't too bad - of course I wasn't really aware of what I
was eating, so that probably helped

It was a local delicacy when we lived in Lancashire. My mother and
sister both loved tripe; I detested it and wouldn't eat it. My mother
made it fairly often and insisted it was an ideal and highly nutritious
food for growing children; so long after she had died, when I had small
children, I thought I should give tripe a second chance and cooked it
for them the way she did

.. It was still absolutely disgusting (what a relief).

I think it's edible - but only just. A small piece once in a blue moon
is enough for me.
