From 1958: Back When You Could Say "Beef Balls" Without Having Someone Snicker
I love old recipes. This is a terrific double-clicker and we might just have all four of these dishes over the next couple of weeks.

I Got Me A Case Of The Vintage Hungries: Ripe Olive Susan To The Rescue!
And look at them yummy Deviled-Ham Rollwiches!
It's still hotter than Billy Be Damned here in Hell, Arizona, and one thing that always tastes good when the temperatures are still 193 degrees are sammiches!
Be sure to note the radish bouquet.

From 1960: It's The One With The Velvet Texture
It's 1960. By all means, dip those delicious fruit slices in a big vat of mayonnaise! It's sure to be a hit with the rest of the girls at the next meeting of your bridge club!
I especially love old food ads that include recipes, such as this one.
(a FANTABULOUS double-clicker)

From 1968: Meatloaf Magic
I guess the "frosted meat loaf" could be considered a variation on shepherd's pie. And look, someone let a Bundt cake do the talkin'...with meaty goodness!
A fantastic double-clicker.

From 1958: Behold, The Creamery Grainy Splendour Of Minute Rice And Cheese Sauce
FANTASTIC double-clicker!
Two bonus vintage recipes for those of you who like that sort of thing (like me!).

From 1969: The Mike Douglas Cookbook, Shamelessly Stolen From A Website That Might Just Be My Own Personal Crystal Meth
Sadly, the site does not seem to offer much in the way of recipes, which is actually probably a good thing, because if it did my head would likely explode from all of the vintage goodness. The covers are wonderful enough, and since I love to collect old and rare and vintage cookbooks, I can tell you that Old Cookbooks is about to have another enthusiastic customer.

From 1900: Keeping Things Cool, Waaaay Old School
Double-click like you have never double-clicked before.
Everyone needs the recipe for "Pigeons On Rice."

As Evidenced By This Feature From 1978, The Good Folks At Family Circle Magazine Think That "Creole Flavor" Means "Sticking Green Peppers In It"
Did anyone else not know that canned food was so versatile?
Double-click for the recipe goodness, as usual. Does anyone really need to be told how to make a chef's salad? Or a reuben sandwich? And drowning your chicken in canned soup...that's good eating, I guess, at least when Jimmy Carter's the prez.
Is it just me, or does that tuna pocket recipe read suspiciously like The Salad of '75?

From 1947: Better Living... Brought To You By The Magic Of Trans Fats
This one's a double-clicker for sure.
I know how much you guys like the old-timey recipes (as much as I do!), and I know that you all have a hankering for some eggs stuffed with liverwurst, but are unsure as to how to make that dream dish come true in your own kitchens. Well, wonder no more!

Exploring The Wonderful World Of Salad Dressing
I love old cookbooks. One of my favorite things to do is search flea markets for what I can find. Some of the old books, like this one, have marvelous recipes and tips that have been, well, sort of lost with the passage of the decades.
Of course, some of the recipes are a real hoot, too. Sure, there's nothing the ladies in your bridge club like more than a fresh asparagus salad...served with ketchup dressing!
Double-click the graphic, as always, if you want a closer view.

In This 1980 Ad From Seventeen Magazine, The Class Slut Makes A Contribution To The Post-Game Potluck
As for her boast about liaisons in the U.S. Government, well, let's just say that Carter Country has never been so sex-ay.

How To Horrify Others At Any Potluck Or Carry-In Dinner
I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to culinary matters, but the thought of a "cottage cheese and kidney bean salad" makes me taste bile at the back of my throat.
I am also of the considered opinion that the word "mold" should never be used in reference to things you put in your mouth. Ever.
If you're keen to check out these recipes further, double click on the image, as always.
