Scary vintage recipes
How many of these terrors of the table do you remember?
The banana ones are particularly nightmare-inducing. But the little igloo meatloaf is kind of cute.
When I was a kid, my mom went through a serious health-food kick. The rule at every meal was "No matter what you think, you have to try at lesat one bite." Then, if you didn't like the brewer's yeast surprise or the kale cookies, you didn't have to eat them.
This rule stood until one morning when my brother barfed his one bite of wheat-germ-scrambled-eggs all over the breakfast table.
What's your scariest childhood food memory?

I now think that it is a blessing that Germany never got Jello.
BUT! The carved hot dog dish looks like one of the staples of Austrian ski resort foods and makes me very hungry for a hearty Heidi-esque meal. I really need to go skiing next year. Need!
The banana candle is so nicely pornographic that I am tempted to make this my dish for the next Christmas get together with my ex-colleagues. They would appreciate that.
We had rather cutesy 60s and 70s foods: half a tomato on top of a boiled egg, decorated with dots of mayonnaise - voila! Toadstool!

Actually, things were made to look so ridiculously pretty, that the party food of the 60s and 70s is having a bit of a comeback in Germany luckily I have inherited the cookbooks from my grandma and don't have to buy the new editions ;)
