From The Best of Taste: The Finest Food of Fifteen Nations (1957), The SACLANT-NATO Cookbook Committee
I'm interrupting the semi-regularly scheduled Midnight Sausage series to share molded food images and recipes from my personal collection of early-to-mid 20th century cookbooks. There will be aspic. There will be mousse. There will be various gelatins. All will be semi-solid and of debatable degrees of edibility.
Please feel free to shimmy and shake your way to the comments section to share your very own magical, masticable molds of yore.

I had no idea zombies wrote cookbooks. I especially like the part where you're supposed to "peel" the brain.

I'm so glad there was no picture. I think myself omnivourous, but somethings I can't even think about the eating of.

Buffy - I'm right with you on that. Peel? Peel WHAT? Eeeeek! I've actually eaten some really lovely brain dishes in my time, but have never actually had to handle one.
Annie - we're lucky there wasn't one because I wouldn't have been able to resist. I'm thinking I should start issuing warnings in the RSS feed.
