jiggly horrors

I scanned and uploaded these a couple weeks ago and promptly forgot to make a post with them. These are from the 1967 Better Homes and Gardens salad cookbook. Barely anything in this book resembles what I would consider a salad today. If it isn't meticulously assembled in a complicated pattern, it is suspended in a shimmering, quivering block of gelatin. I would not make any of them.

  3. I do actually think a "tomato cup" would make a luncheon spectacular... Thanks for sharing!

  4. A friend of mine collects recipe books like these and turns the pages into envelopes. He sends gross mail.
