Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

the hobby will be able to evolve beyond absurdly bloated books

haha! when I mentioned on reddit that I had cut over a hundred pages from kosmic, people asked for those pages.

My mother inherited the "Family Recipe" collection (it was not a book, just loose paper and index cards) when one of my great-aunts passed away; it was chock full of American depression era food recipes.

It was like reading from the Necronomicon, but it was your taste buds that went mad instead of your mind. I will have to see if she still has them, because they were a blight against humanity.

That which can never die, never can be digested.

You should check out B. Dylan Hollis and the things he cooks on social media. He collected a bunch in this cookbook.

Seriously, many of them are similarly weird recipes that sound absolutely awful, but many actually turn out pretty good.
Edit: The text below the link says preorder, but this book's out. I think he may be going on book tour for a follow-up cookbook soon.

Creamed tuna peas on toast, had it the other day, my Mom liked that.

Maybe she just had bad taste. There's a lot great old recipes out there. I get the feeling a lot of people are going to be reviving some of those recipes pretty soon. You can't beat cheap, filling meals.

Most of what I find abominable is the 70s and 80s cuisine I remember from childhood. Green jello salads. Shrimp sandwich rolls. Gak.

I know some folks think clamnog is nasty, but I find eggnog so disgusting it would actually be an improvement.

Try this:

Melt a half-gallon of your favorite vanilla ice cream in the refrigerator overnight. Pour it into a pitcher, add a little milk if it's too thick, then stir in your favorite spiced rum. Serve with some grated nutmeg on top.

The thing about those old Great Depression-era cookbooks is, they aren't all bad. There are some really good recipes in there if you know what to look for (and what to avoid). Our family still makes the same recipe for Navy Bean Soup that was written in my great-grandmother's cookbook...in 1922 1932.

That's certainly an opinion.

Put on ignore by someone that I suspect everyone else is doing the same to.
