I'd love to hear if she has any highlights/must-makes -- I'm equally intrigued and horrified by some of the recipes I come across in old community/church cookbooks!
SheilaAnn If you haven't seen James Lilek's Gallery of Regrettable Food you need to. He takes the old mid-century food company fliers and recipe guides and does a great job of ridiculing them: https://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html
He’s quite annoying but he makes weird vintage recipes. He comes through on my Facebook feed from time to time. If you want weird vintage recipes he make a lot of them.
That was a fun read. I can remember some very odd food in the 60's like loaves and such. On a related side note, last year I bought a copy of Thomas Jefferson's cookbook off of Amazon. I haven't tried any recipes yet, but there are some "interesting" ones in there.
Problem is, even when hit him with a #8 there aint' much left to cook. Not to mention all the new holes created in the kitchen walls for friends to enter.
Ya oughta check out Townsends on YouTube. He delves into the 18th century way of life & much of it is cooking I’ve tried quite a few cooks that he has posed. It’s usually pretty good. Actually, one of my specialties “at camp” has come to be “buttered eggs”. It has been a hit a few times.
Ahhh, they are English style eggs as opposed to French or American style eggs. Huskee yep i make em. I like American style, my wife likes French, and of course my kids like English, lol.
Sounds like I am team FireMan I make scrambled eggs with a lot of butter. Two eggs:1 T butter. Cook very slow.
And recently, I have been doing this: crack the eggs in the pan, gently scramble the whites without disturbing the yolks. When set, pull from the heat and lightly stir in the yolks until set again. Heaven!
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I remember reading through some of my grandma's recipe & diet books when I was a kid in the 80s and would go visit her. I don't remember specifics of course, but lots of things seemed to involve Jello, ketchup, and Spam (maybe not always together but surely a couple were) and even as a kid this wasn't ok, not ok at all.
