I collect cookbooks from the 1950s and 60s. I love technicolor food photography. I particularly like Jello cookbooks, as I am too young to remember a world where you could bring a tuna-celery-lime Jello mold to a potluck. I love 1950s adaptations of *ethnic* food and the jolly caricatures that accompanied them (you know, a Chinaman in a hat to go with "Ah-So Easy" noodles, or a gent in a Sombrero to go with "10-Minute Tamale Pie").
Please tell me your memories of MID-CENTURY CUISINE. What fabulous, obsolete dishes do your remember eating or serving?
