This Facebook Group Collects Questionable Vintage Recipes, And Here Are 69 Of The Funniest Ones

A lot can change in, say, 50 years. Just look at the car or communication industry. How we eat is no exception. And nothing shows it as vividly as the Facebook group Questionable Vintage Recipes.

As the name suggests, its members share funny and weird foods from back in the day. We're talking lamb chops, cranberry "candles", and crown roasts of frankfurters. You know, the good stuff.

Continue scrolling and check out some of the most ridiculous recipes the group has to offer. Just don't show them to Gordon Ramsay. He'd be fuming!

#17 Jellied Bouillon With Frankfurters

think we (mostly) really like each other in this group. I don't know why we feel compelled to do this to one another. For the record, I'm REALLY ashamed of myself for posting this. Sigh. Jellied Bouillon with Frankfurters Directions: "Dissolve unflavored gelatin in hot beef broth. In a pretty gelatin mold, place diced celery, slices of hard-boiled eggs and hot dogs in an eye-pleasing design. Pour beef Jell-O into the mold. Chill until firm."

#41 Swedish Birds Nests. A 1970s Recipe From Fanny Cradock (A Famous English TV Celebrity Chef.)

A bed of finely chopped ("scissored") chives, parsley or a mix are arranged on a plate, in a sort of double helix pattern. On top of that are arranged (going from the outer rings inwards) capers, cold diced potatoes, finely chopped anchovy filets, then finally two raw eggs. "These are particularly delicious when served with dark rye bread and butter"

#44 I Found This Recipe And I Just Had To Try It

It's called Frankaroni loaf. It calls for macaroni, bread crumbs, cheese, hot dogs, tomato sauce (not spaghetti sauce) and stuffed olives. I had all ingredients on hand. Except I chose to make it with Spaghettios because it just made the whole thing campier (more campy?campier? Technically that's not a word but I'm a trailblazer) also the only olives I have are stuffed with blue cheese and are for Martinis (guess what wins here). So I reserved some of the Spaghettio juice (or whatever it's called), mixed all the ingredients and put the hot dogs in the middle. It called for 6 hot dogs in a loaf pan longer than the one I had so I needed to break hot dogs in pieces and arrange them to fit (which drove me nuts that I couldn't get into perfect rows). I had 1 left over that I just couldn't fit in and I was already stressed from the guilt of saving the stuffed olives for Martinis so I just left it out. I baked it then used the reserved Spaghettio juice to make that classy diagonal stripe. But alas, what do I do with the leftover hot dog? Well, since the lack of green olives left a gaping hole of despair in our culinary sensibilities I decided I would use the extra hot dog in the style of nouvelle cuisine. Nouvelle cuisine uses the presentation of the dish artistically. For example, you may have a salad that resembles a sunset over the ocean. And the chick pea, if placed perfectly, represents blissful departures with good fortune. So I placed the leftover hot dog along the diagonal stripe of Spaghettio juice to represent a hand hewn boat floating with tranquility across a placid fjord. And the tooth pick represents a flaming arrow shot by a viking setting his dead friend ablaze. Finally it was cool enough to try. I took my first bite and I must say this pretty much tasted like crap. Not spit it out and wash your out out with Scope bad. It just tasted like Spaghettios with bread crumbs. Maybe it will taste better tomorrow. That's OK. I'll just wash the taste out with this Martini...with olives

#47 Spam-Fruit Cocktail Buffet Party Loaf!

1 (15-ounce) can Del Monte fruit cocktail, drained (reserve syrup) 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin 2 tablespoons vinegar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 2 (12-ounce) cans Spam luncheon meat, very finely chopped 1/2 cup celery, very finely chopped 1/4 cup green olives, very finely chopped 1/2 cup Miracle Whip 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 5 lemons Paprika Additional Miracle Whip Arrange drained fruit cocktail in 9-by-5-by-3 inch loaf pan. In top of double boiler, mix reserved syrup with gelatin, vinegar, cinnamon, and cloves. Place over hot water and stir until gelatin dissolves. Carefully pour 1/2 cup of gelatin mixture over fruit cocktail. Place in pan in refrigerator and chill until gelatin has thickened but is not set. Mix Spam with celery and olives. Mix Miracle Whip with mustard, salt, and remaining gelatin mixture. Add Spam mixture to Miracle Whip mixture and blend well. Spread over fruit cocktail. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours. For garnish, make lemon cups by halving lemons, slicing off ends (so lemons will stand up), and scooping out pulp. Dip cut edges of lemons in paprika. Fill cups with Miracle Whip and sprinkle lightly with additional paprika. To serve, unmold loaf onto large platter and surround with lemon cups. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

#55 From My Gramms Old Church Cookbook, A Touch Of Dutch. Any Ideas What It Makes After We Let It Stand A Few Hours?

**I think there was an assumption given the time, that people would just know what was next after it sits a few hours, which seems to be forming and baking. You cookie guessers I'm willing to bet are absolutely right. PLEASE don't eat raw flour.**
