In honor of Jerry Lewis hosting his Labor Day MDA Telethon today, I thought I'd bring you this recipe for something his grandma used to make all the time and that he loved.
It's Vinegar Pie. It's not a dessert you hear people talking about much anymore. Certainly the fact that is has vinegar in it is probably something people will find a little odd, but come on, you need a little adventure in your life. Full recipe after the jump.
Awhile back I told you about a really great book titled Fashionable Food. It details the history of food decade by decade, and includes a lot of cool recipes. I'll be highlighting some of the more interesting recipes from the book, and today it's Porkers.
This recipe is from the 1960s and was originally in the book How To Keep Him (After You've Caught Him) - I guess it was for the ladies. It uses Saltine crackers and bacon and...well, that's it actually. Mmmmm ... bacon. Full recipe after the jump.
I'm reading a fantastic book titled Fashionable Food: Seven Decades of Food Fads, by Sylvia Lovegren. It's a really entertaining look back at what we were cooking and eating in the 20s, 30s, 40s, all the way up to the 90s. There's a lot of great history and pictures here, but the best part of the book are the actual recipes you can try. Some still hold up today. Others...ahem.
Take this recipe, for example, for Banana and Popcorn Salad, from the 1920s. Lovegren calls it "The Worst Salad of the Twenties," and after you read the recipe, you'll have to agree.
Your turkey may not be centerpiece of the Thanksgiving spread, if you follow our simple tips on scoring that holiday ham.
