Scary vintage recipes

[delphipsmith]

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?

LOL

German food must have set me up to like all things horrible.

Now I am hungry for carved hot dogs, fried liver with apples and onions and herring salad (went off on an image-search tangent).

Not necessarily all at once. Or even on the same day.

I will actually admit to liking fried liver and onions. I've never had it with apples but it sounds pretty damn good.

It's a Berlin specialty - mashed potatoes with fried apples, onions and liver.

It's also quite good without he liver ;)
