Tuna waffles. Bananas with mayonnaise. Hot Dr. Pepper poured over slices of lemon. People can eat anything if they put their minds to it. Anything. Nothing proves this better than taking a gander at cooking recipes from the past that create spectacularly weird food combinations.
So we bring you [drum roll] adverts of strange foods from the not-so-distant past that will make you pity your parents, shout ‘Yuck!’, and have a whole new appreciation for living in the 21st century. It’s nice having the option of not eating Jell-O topped with mayonnaise and strawberries and—oh God, I think I’m gonna be sick—
Honestly, though, ham with bananas, as well as hotdogs in hot cheese soup both sound delicious. I’ll use these cooking ideas for my next soirée. So while I’m thinking of how to lose friends and deter people with my gastronomical genius (read: evil ways), scroll down and enjoy the weird foods from the 50s. Upvote your favorite disgusting food recipes and share this list with your foodie friends. And let us know in the comments which exotic foods you’d be willing to taste or if you’ve tried any of these things to eat before!
Bored Panda spoke to Professor Nathalie Cooke from McGill University to learn more about vintage foods. Scroll down for the full exclusive interview.
