Gross Food We Ate in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s

Just because you can, does not mean that you should.

While the 1950’s were a decade of innovative change and prosperity following years of rationing and shortages, it was the 1960’s that saw the introduction of mass production. In the late 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with new technologies available in small appliances, we see a movement in food presentation, going from simple family nutrition to avant garde globs.

And for the love of glob, why, why didn’t they lay off the jello!

Hmmm, this is meant to be ‘ground beef’ AKA mince, stuffed in cabbage and steamed. But it’s Danish inspired so it must be on trend. Serve this bog stuffed, fart ball at your next dinner party!

A true food innovation of the 1930’s, the canned pork Spam gained such notoriety that it has sold over 7 billion cans. And one of those cans went into artfully creating these gag worthy delicacies, Spam cupcakes – A sweet and salty delight!

Ham Salad Supreme. Yes, supremely screwed up! There is a common theme of reshaping food in a very unnatural state.

Cheese is not what I expected to find, inside a lettuce. And how are you supposed to eat that? Like a wedge of pizza? Mmmm delicious!

The glistening ring of horror stuffed with creamy potato salad. I think my dog once hurled up something that resembled this. And then the cat ate it.

Meat Chunk Salad. Note to self: Avoid anything that contains the word ‘chunk’ and looks like vomit.

flickrrrrr

Fundamentally in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, there was a gross misuse of jelly and an unnecessary compulsion to shape food into non food shapes. Heinous crimes against food really.

Chef Gordon Ramsay wouldn’t be pleased.

Did you know that the average person unlocks their phone 110 times every single day? If that doesn’t seem like a lot to you, maybe you need to have to think about just how reliant you are on that little piece of technology. Addiction seems like a strong word. But for many, it’s something that they’ve simply fallen into, a subconscious behaviour that’s difficult to break. If you think you’re addicted to your phone, we can help.
