A New Diet Plan for You
Frankfurter!!!! Spectacular!!!!
Jen emailed me this link of Weight Watcher's Recipe cards from the 70s. At first I thought they were just strange recipes, so I quickly clicked through the first few cards. When I got to "Fluffy Mackerel Pudding" and I realized that it was something else more bizarre and hilarious than I realized. There are way too many things in jello/mold form. The food is weird, but the strange knick-knacks and props around the food are weirder.
Plus, the comments crack me up. I couldn't stop laughing when I hit Marcy's "Enchilada".
Then "It's Franktacular" almost killed me. It's hot dogs wrapped around a pineapple.
Good Job Jen!

Ooh, that reminds me of my one and only visit to a Midwestern church supper. There were all sorts of mysterious concoctions called "Hot Dish". As far as I could tell, the principal ingredients of all of them were canned cream of mushroom soup and potato chips (canned green beans optional). The desserts were spectacular as well, involving enough Jello and marshmallows to kill a horse.
I think Jello and marshmallows are actually made with horse hooves, so you would have to kill a horse to eat them. Do eat Jello if you are a vegetarian?
Also, I've had lots of dishes made with Cream of (__fill in the blank__). Thankfully, I don't think they are as popular as they used to be.
Well, I didn't eat the desserts, I just marvelled at them. I think gelatin is actually made from cows' feet, not horses' hooves.
I cannot understand the appeal of Cream of [fill in the blank] either. It reminds me of that stuff my chest was full of that time I had pleurisy. (I know you really wanted to know that.)
