These are great! :D

Oh, by the way, there is an actual recipe for "shit on a shingle". Very popular back around WWII. :)

As a humanitarian I object to seeing salmon treated this way :D http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards/salmonmousse.html

I have old cook books that belonged to my mom, my grandmother and even my great grandmother that I absolutely love going through.

I can see all the trends as they changed through the times. I love the cookbooks my great grandmother had best because they actually tell you how to [mercifully] kill a chicken or fish and clean and gut it, scale or feather it and then cook it, how to preserve food and make wine and spirits.

Her books even recommends bait for catching fish, the best things to feed chickens for good eggs, good fertilizer for gardens and the seeds to save from the plants you grew so that you can re-plant them the next season.

Interesting because all the stuff that they seemed to cook before the depression was fresh [home grown] but the weird canned food and Jello stuff came after the depression and Second World War.

I did not see the lime Jello with cottage cheese mentioned but my auntie used to make this stuff and bring it to Thanksgiving dinner every year and we used to have to take at least one bite of it. <shivers> BLEH!!! :eek:


I love this story :)

You just made me remember cold pork sandwiches and orange jelly with carnation milk my great grandmother fed us every single time we visited her.
