I live in the midwest and collect old cookbooks. Every “salad” section is about half recipes comprised of mixed vegetables and the like, and half recipes that sound like someone took all the desserts in their house and mixed them in a big bowl with some whipped cream and jello.
I was browsing the local thrift store for 70s-90s cookbooks and in several of them there were fruit soups which were just blended fruit cocktail recipes. I’ll post a picture after work. My favorite was cantaloupe soup.
Be glad. I have my grandmother’s cookbooks. She had one, that I only keep for proof, comprised entirely of mayonnaise recipes. I think it was published by Hellmans. It is full of some of the worst atrocities to food I have ever read about.
I know I don’t really like everything I’m served, but I swear this cookbook is like for a black-site prisoner encampment that gets deliveries twice a year.

EDIT: found it.
Now imagine you’re the guy whose job it is to come up with these recipes
The worst dish my mom ever made (besides meatloaf of course) was “BBQ” chicken which is just cooked in a pot of coca cola and ketchup.

“Pink Cloud Mold”
🤒
This could be edible if it weren’t for the random unholy addition of mayonnaise
Just makes the mouth water, doesn’t it?
“Oh, that’s my mom’s pink mold recipe!”
shudder
Oh my god that’s amazing. I think you might not know how valuable that is to those of us under the spell of God’s cream.
Allow me to whet your appetite once more, that you may be fulfilled.
Oh that’s the good stuff right there!
The salmon flounder roulades sound pretty good actually
Even better in the microwave
I need to know what the closest dish in that image is! (Presuming the furthest back is Pink Cloud Mold, and the middle is the Salmon-Dill Mousse)
Tri-color vegetable mold.
Thank you, king. My curiosity is satisfied. :-)
