Where To Watch
Pick: Would you eat these vintage summer recipes from the Sixties?
Nothing beat the heat like… cold tongue and frozen soup?
Say what you will about food from the 1960s, but it was undeniably creative. People put a lot more effort into party trays and picnics. These clever recipes in the pages of Ladies Home Journal demonstrated how everyday canned goods could transform into colorful sculptures. Sculptures made of mayonnaise, meat and fruit.
Well, yummy is in the eye of the beholder. Below, you will find some summer recipes we snipped from old magazines from the Sixties. You vote if you would eat them or not.
See how your tastes compare to the rest! And if you're truly curious and ambitious, we included the recipes where we could.
